WHAT SULPHUR DOES
For the Human Body In Health and
Disease '
The mention of sulphur will recall to
many of us the early days when our
mothers gave us our daily dose of sul
phur and molasses every spring and
Itfall.
It was the universal spring and fall
"blood purifier," tonic and cure-all,
and mind you, this old-fashioned rem
edy was not without merit.
The idea was good, but the remedy
was crude and unpalatable, and a
large quantity had to be taken to get
any effect.
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) and
sold in drug stores under the name
of Stuart's Calcium Wafers. They are
small chocolate coated pellets and con
tain the active medicinal principle of
sulphur in a highly concentrated, 4 ef
fective form.
Few people are aware of the value of
this form of sulphur in restoring .ami
maintaining bodily vigor and health;
sulphur acts directly in the liver, and
excretory organs and purifies and en
riches the blood by the prompt elimi
nation of waste material.
Our grandmothers knew this when
they dosed us with sulphur and molas
ses every spring and fall, but the cru
dity and impurity of ordinary flowers
of sulphur were often worse than the
disease, and can not compare with the
modern concentrated preparations of
sulphur, of which Stuart's Calcium
.Wafers is undoubtedly the best and
most widely used.
They are the natural antidote for
liver and kidney troubles and cure con
stipation and purify the blood in a
way that often surprises patient and
physician alike.
Dr. R. M. Wilkins while experiment
ing with sulphur remedies soon found
that the sulphur from Calcium was su
perior to any other form. He says:
"For liver, kidney and blood troubles,
especially when resulting from consti
pation 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
repeatedly seen them dry up and dis
appear in four or five days, leaving the
kin 'clear and smooth. Although Stu
art's Calcium Wafer, is a proprietary
article, and sold by druggists, and for
that reason tabooed by many physi
cians, yet I know of nothing so safe
and reliable for constipation, liver and
kidney troubles and especially in all
forms of skin disease as this remedy.'
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 prepartion.
It is said that the New York policy
holders of the Equitable Life Assur
ance society will carry their fight for
the mutualization of the company to
the legislature. A bill will be intro
duced" in the legislature, providing that
every policyholder may vote in per
son or by proxy in the election of di
rectors and that every policyholder
may be eligible for the office of di
rector in the corporation, thus trans
ferring the management of the corpo
ration to the policyholders.
THE REAL RESPONSIBILITY
No funeral sermon was ever more to
the point than that of the Metropolitan
of Moscow yesterday, at the burial of
the murdered Sergius. The real respon
sibility for the assassination, ho said,
lay with the whole society of Russia,
not with the socialists. A truer word
was never spoken. Bossuet himself
ijuvui iuau 10 a loruer conception of
the prophet-like function of the Chris
tian pulpit at a state funeral. There
was a veritable "nunc erudimlni" in
the Metropolitan's summons to all
Classes to "repentance," in consequence
of the grand duke's murder. That the
crime was the inevitable outgrowth of
bad conditions of life and government
in Russia, no 0110 can doubt. Alex
ander Ular writes in the Contemporary
of "the awful mixturo of egotism, am
bition, cynicism, cupidity, and inso
lence" which characterizes the Itusslan
bureauocracy, with all its dependents.
No thoroughgoing reform is possible
uittil the axe is laid to the root of
that tree. Now York Evening Post.
IN EXCELLENT SPIRITS.
The most growing politician who
comes under public observation Just
now is Mr. Bryan. Ho goes about the
country, talks freely, and says good
things. Ho seems to be in excellent
form and spirits, and to contemplate
events with much genial philosophy.
At a dinner of the Now York Alumni
Association of Syracuse University la
Now York on January 27 ho aroso
from a scat botweon Chancellor Day
of Syracuse and Mr. Archibald of tho
Standard Oil Company to speak about
"Democracy's 'Appeal to Culture." "I
have lost no opportunity in recent
years," ho said, "to make tho acquaint
ance of the people of tho East," and ho
went on, after some pleasant trifling,
to make his point that culture was not
yet doing all Its duty by tho people.
Tho East seems to ho reciprocating
very heartily Mr. Bryan's deslro for
better acquaintance, it has noyor
known him so well or liked him so
well as it does now. Harper's

The Pledge Outlined
The following editorial appeared in
last week's issue of The Commoner:
"Mr. Bryan has been in receipt of
a multitude of letters since the elec
tion urging organization for the cam
paign of 1908. The rank and file of
the party are ready to begin the fight;
they only await a plan of co-operation.
This plan has been under considera
tion for some weeks and is herewith
submitted.
"Let each democrat pledge himself
to attend all of the primaries of his
party to be held between now and the
next democratic national convention,
unless unavoidably prevented and to
use his influence to secure a clear, hon
est and straightforward declaration of
the party's position on every question
upon which the voters of the party
desire to speak.
"This plan does not involve the
writing of a platform in advance of
the primaries; it does not rest upon
the paramount importance of any one
issue. It recognizes the right of the
democratic voters to control the policy
of the democratic party, and to deter
mine its position upon public ques
tions. It also recognizes the import
ance of honesty and sincerity In poli
tics. "This proposition will appeal to all
who believe in the rule of the people
to all who are willing that the ma
jority shall govern in party manage
ment and in the nation. It does not
mean that those who exert themselves
to secure a good platform will be
bound to support a bad platform that
is a question which each must deter
mine for himself but it does mean
that the democratic platform shall give
voice to the prevailing sentiment of
the democratic party, and that the
party shall take the country into its
confidence. The pledge proposed is a
primary pledge because the people
speak at the primaries. The national
convention is attended by delegates
and each delegate represents tens of
thousands of democrats. The state con
vention is also attended by delegates,
and these represent thousands of dem
ocrats. The county conventions are,
as a rule, attended by delegates, and
these in turn represent hundreds of
democrats. At the primary the voters
speak for themselves; there democ
racy has its citadel.
"When the work of organization is
WHWMWWWVWWliVWWt)
sufficiently advanced, a time can bo
set for tho meeting of tho members
In their various localities. The mem
bers of this organization, while
pledged to but one thing namely, at
tendance upon the primaries are
urged to co-operato among themselves
for tho support of every effort put
forth to eliminate corruption In poli
tics. No cause can prosper perma
nently that docs not appeal to tho
moral sense of the country, and tho
moral sense of the country is now be
ing awakened to tho importance o
purifying politics.
"Tho Commoner will do its part In
aiding every movement that has for
its object the ascertainment of the will
of tho people and the scrupulous en
forcement of that will.
"The Commoner will also furnish all
the Information that it can upon tho
questions which are before the public
to the end that its readers may bo pro
pared to render tho maximum of as
sistance to every worthy cause.
"Who will be the first to make thia
pledge? A record will be kept in Tho
Commoner office of the name and ad
dress of each person who enters into
this movement. Those who desire to
be enrolled can either wiite approv
ing the object of the organization, and
asking to have their names entered on
tho roll, or they can fill .out and mail
tho blank which is printed below.
"The Commoner will be pleased to
publish a limited" number of brief let
ters on this subject. Mr. Bryan ia
encouraged by his correspondence to
believe that there will be a prompt and
hearty response to the above proposition."
