mind you, this old-fashioned remedy
was not without merit.
The idea was good, but the remedy
was crude and unpalatable, and a large
quantity had to bo taken to get any
effect. j
Nowadays we get all the beneficial
effects of sulphur in a palatable, con
centrated form, so that a single grain
is far more effective than a tablespoon
ful of the crude sulphur.
In recent years, research and experi
ment have proven that the best sul
phur for medicinal use is that obtained
from Calcium (Calcium Sulphide) nd
sold in drug stores under the name of
Stuart's Calcium Wafers. They are

tain the active mecicinai principle of
sulphur in a highly concentrated, ef
fective form.
Few people are awaro of the value
of this form of sulphur in restoring
and maintaining bodily vigor and
health; sulphur acts directly on the
liver, and excretory organs and puri
fies and enriches the blood by the
prompt elimination of waste material.
Our grandmothers knew this when
they dosed us with sulphur and mo
lasses every spring and fall, but the
crudity and impurity of ordinary flow
'ers of sulphur were often worse than
t. disease, and can not compare with
th" modern concentrated preparations
of sulphur, of which Stuart's Calcium
Wafers is :ndoubtedly the best and
most widely used.

Dr. R. M. Wilkins while experiment
ing with sulphur remedies soon found
that the sulphur from Calcium wa3
superior to anv other form. He says:
"For liver, kidney and blood troubles,
especially when resulting from con
stipation or malaria, I have been sur
prised at the results obtained from
Stuart's Calcium Wafers. In patients
suffering from boils and pimples and
even deep-seated carbuncles, I have re
peatedly seen them drv up and disap
pear in four or five days, leaving the
skin clear and smooth. Although Stu
art's Calcium Wafers is a proprietary
article and sold ,bv druggists, and
for that reason tabooed ov many phy
sicians, yet I know of nothing so safe
and reliable for const! tpation, liver
and kidney troubles and especially in
all forms of skin disease as this rem
edy." At any rate people who are tired of
pills,' cathartics and so-called blood
"purifiers," will find in Stuart's Cal
cium Wafers, a far safer, more palat
able and effective preparation.

Transactions in the interest-bearing
public debt resulted in a net reduction
in the principal of $19,383,970 and a de
crease in the annual interest charge of
$1,304,828.30.
The national bank notes presented
for redemption during the year
amounted to $202,141,930, or G1.12 par
cent of the average amount of the
notes outstanding. Compared with
1903, this sum is $05,712,309, or 33.45
per cent larger, and it Is the maxi
mum presented in any year in the his
tory of such redemptions.
The money in circulation July i,
1904, amounted to $2,519,142,800, a per
capita circulation of $30.77. The per
centage of gold was 44.12.
A notable fact is that, with an ad
dition of 1.7 per cent to the population
in the year, the increase in the circu
lation per capita has been 4.5 per cent.
By October 1, 1904, there was a
further increase in circulation of $43,
006,029, and the circulation per capita
reached the maximum of $31.16, while
th- share of gold became 44.03 per cent.
Since the issue of tho first charter
in 18G3, 7,417 national banks have been
authorized to begin business, of which
5,457, with aggregate capital of $777,
741,335, were in operation on Septem
ber 30, 1904.

of any previous year in the country's
history. The coinage of standard sil
ver dollars amounted to $10,101,050;
of subsidiary silver, $7,719,231, and of
minor coin $1,702,028.05. Tho silver
dollars were all coined from bullion
purchased under the act of July M,
1890. Of the subsidiary silver, $5,013,
000 was likewise coined from this bullion.
It is shown that the coinage of sub
sidiary coin has decreased from $12,-
-7U,4 coined in 1900, to $7,719,231,
coined in 1904, from which it is ap
parent that steps must soon be taken
to provide bullion for subsidiary coin
age. Tho interest bearing national debt
July 1, 1904, is $895,157,440.
Our currency system, though some
what complicated, has been proved safe
and reliable under every practical te3t.
The exchange of gold for all forms of
money issued or coined by tho gov
ernment, on demand, authorized by act
of congress approved March 14, 1900,
removes every suggestion of public
distrust or doubt. The system has one
recognized weakness, however; it Is
nonelastlc. This criticism is some
times answered by the statement tha.
national banks possess the power co
increase circulation at will. Actual
experience demonstrates the insuffi
ciency of this prerogative to correct
the recognized evil. Banks are not
likely to use their last $100,000 reserve
in the purchase of government bonds
as a basis for an equdl amount of cur
rency not available for "eserve, but
which increases to that extent their
liabilities. On the contrary, banks
sometimes retire th'Ir circulation and
