And it is one of the best, being up to date in all its depart ments, carrying full market and financial reports. But it prints no scandal and none of the stories of crime that other daily newspapers publish. Murders, robberies, sui cides, senational and scandalous court trials, and all masters of this kind are given no place in its col umns. And yet it is a great news paper. Its clientele is naturally select, not to say exclusive, but the paper commands confidence and re spect weherever jt is read, —Albany Herald. Mrs. D. F. Davenport, on Taylor street. Mrs. J, P.

(Heart and Kidney Diseases Caused By Torpid Liver Blood carries body poisons through the system to vital organs To clear our systems of poison toxions that taint the blood and break down health, we must keep the liver regulated. Medical science now knows that the liver is our most im portant organ because it destroys the body poisons that cause diseases of the heart, kidneys, blood vessels, create high blood pressure and pre mature.old age. When the liver becomes torpid, these poisons, instead of being de stroyed, are carried through the sys tem by the blood. Then Nature gives quick warnings. You have sudden sick headaches, dizzy spells and nausea. If your stomach is acid from sour bile and your skin becomes sallow or blotchy, you may know poisons are in your blood. The liver cannot be regulated By drugs, but there is a safe Nature substance which will act directly on the liver. The discovery is purified ox gall. Get from your druggist a package of Didxol. Each tablet contains ten drops of purified ox gall. In 24 hours the poison, toxins, will be removed. Your liver will be regulated. Blood purification will begin. Sallow skin will clear. You will feel so much’ better you will know you have found the cause of your ill health. Dioxol tablets ate harmless, tasteless and cost less than two cents each. These genuine ox gall tablets are prepared only under the name “Dioxoh" If any tablet is offered you under another name, refuse it. Accept only Dioxol in the original, genuine package. Dioxol is especially recommend by E. L.
