BAD BLOOD Bad blood is responsible for rooat of our ailments, and when from any cause it becomes Infected with impurities, humors or poisons, trouble in some form is sure to follow. Muddy, sallow complexions, eruptions, pimples, etc., show that the blood is infected with unhealthy humors which have changed it from a pure, fresh stream to a sour, acrid fluid, which forces out its Impurities through the pores and glands of the skin. A very common evi dence of bad blood is sores and ulcers, which break out on the flesh, often from a very insignificant bruise, or even scratch or abrasion. If the blood was healthy the place would heal nt once; but being ini -ted with impurities which art' discharged into the wound, irritation and inflammation are set up, the fibres and tissues are broken, and the sore continues until the blood Is purified of the cause. S. S. S. is Nature's blood-purifier and tonio, made entirely from roots, herbs and barks. It goes down Into the circula tion and removes every particle of impurity, humor or poison, restores lost vitality, and steadily tones up the entire system. S. S. S. neutralizes any excess of acid in the blood, making it pure, fresh and healthy, and perma nently cures Kczcma, Acne, Tetter, Salt Rheum, Boils, and all other skin eruption or duea&u.

CAN A MEDICINE BE A “FAKE” that has lived and grown in popular ity for thirty years, and demonstrated its worth by actual cures of female Ills in thousands and thousands of American families? Any fair minded, intelligent person will emphatically answer NO! Suoh a medicine is Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, and its ever increas ing popularity is due to actual merit alone. STATE ASYLUM A HOR RIBLE INSTITUTION (Continued from Page 1.) tried in the superior court, being pros ecuted by the solicitor genera’. There was a mistrial. It was at the request or Dr. Jones, the superintendent, that these oases were not transferred to the county court in the first in stance. They were tried a second time and dismissed in spite of every effort made by Dr. Jones-who believ ed them guilty and desired to con vict them.” The charge (hat a female patient was criminally assaulted was proved to be without basis. Brother Fears Dunnington Much testimony was introduced by sanitarium officials going to the er°.di biltty of Dunnington as a witness and showing that ho was an exceedingly troublesome patient while at the hos pital. A letter was also introduced from Dunnington s brother in \ug.is ta. in which it was declared Hint Dun nington should never have been a% lowed at large, and the safety of his parents and other members cf the family was imperilled. The btother begs that the letter might not be made public, as he felt su-e that Dun nington would certainly do him harm, if he knew that he had dons any thing to have the former n an return ed to the institution.

The supervisor has charge of about 100 employes. This is one of the most important positions con nected with the Inst Butin i. To o.ir surprise we found this poslttoi filled by a man SO years old, long since su perannuated and confined to h's house. "There are practically one hundred attendants In the whale buildings; wfth few exceptions, the class o's men filling these positions is not sat isfactory The fact that twenty per cent of them have be.-n discharged w'lhm two years for cause, speaks more emphatically of tho unsatisfac tory type of men employed than am words could do. Within the last two years, there were discharged for mis treatment of patients, six; neglect of Mrs . Mary C. Thaw Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw, mother of Harry K. Thaw, recently tried at White Plains, N.

Rules Not Known. "On examination under oath, these men appeared absolutely unfamiliar with the rules.

One of them was intoxicated during the investigation, while giving testimony. "The compensation paid attendants Is not sufficient to attract the class of men of the proper qualities for these positions. As we consider the class of men employed responsible for much of the trouble occurring in the wards, we rcommend that the trustees increase the salaries to <V point of attracting a better class ot employes. False economy practiced at the expenses of securing better at tendants is a vital wrong. We cou sider the fitness and responsibility of the attending physician.” There is no criticism of the female nurses who were found to be capable and conscientious. Disease Rampant. The commission earnestly insists upon the segregation of tubercular pa tients. As matters stand now, the asylum is declared to be nothing more or less than a death trap.
