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 largo qimuur,y nau to De taken to get any effect. . ' Nowadays we get all tho beneficial effects of sulpliur in a palatable, con centrated form, so that a single grain is far' more effective than a table spoonful of the crude sulphur. ' In recent years research and expert 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 chbcolate coated pellets and con tain the active medicinal principle of sulphur ln a highly concentrated, ef- tucuve xorm. Few people are aware" of the valuo ofrthis form of sulphwvfin. restoring and maintaining bodily vigor arid 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 the disease, and can not compare with the modern concentrated preparations'1 of sulphur, of which Stuart's Calcium Wafers is undoubtedly the best and most wmeiy used. They are the natural antidote fpr liver and kidney troubles and cure constipation and purify the blood In a way that often surprises patient and physician alike. Dr. R.- M. Wilkins, while experi menting with sulphur remedies, soon found that the sulphur from Calcium was superior to any other form. He says: "For liver, kidney and blood troubles, especially when resulting rrom copstlpatlon or malaria, I have been surprised at the results ob tained from Stuart's Calcium Wafers. In patients suffering from boils and pimples and even deep-seated car buncles, I have repeatedly seen them dry up and disappear in four or five days, leaving the skin clear and smooth. Although . Stuart's Calcium Wafers Is a oronrletarv nrtinlo n.nii sold by druggists and for that reason tabooed by many physicians, yet I know of nothing so safe and reliable for constipa"tion; liver and kidney troubles and especially in all forms of skin diseases as this remedy. At any rate people who are tired of pills, cathartics and so-called blood -"purifiers" wijl find in Stuart's Cal cium Wafers, a far safer, more pal atable and effective preparation.
