WBECKED BY DESIGN. FAST TRAIN DISASTER WORK OF A MISCREANT. OfllcialH Declare a Ulaiiiac or Plot 1 ; to Blame for Catastrophe at Mentor- Twenty - Hour Schedule Will Be licsumed.'i As a result of the wrecking of the twentieth century limited train at Mentor , Ohio , in which nineteen per sons lost their lives , the railroad com pany will abandon its eightcen-hom schedule between New York and C1hi- cago. The old schedule of twenty Iiours for the run will be resumed. Another development is the charge that the wreck was caused through a plot or by some man who had a grudge .iigainst the railway or some one aboard tho llyer and deliberately threw the switch at Mentor. Declarations that tho wreck of the twentieth century limited train at Mentor , Ohio , was tho result of a de liberate plot were made by ollicials of the railway. The switch was found open by Conductor Alexander Camp bell of the llyer immediately after the wreck , and investigation showed that it had been locked open. What the motives were that induced the persons charged v/'th ' wrcckins the train to throw open the switch are not hinted I at by the railroad officials. As the Lake Shore officials investi gate the cause of the wreck and get the situation in hand the conclusion is -fixed more and more firmly that the -sacrifice of lives was the work of a man who deliberately and maliciously -threw the fatal switch for the purpose of wrecking the fast train. Tho rail road company has set in motion all the machinery of its powerful police organization to ferret out the man who is believed to have committed the nuir- .deous act. 'While the abandonment , at least for 'the present , of the eighteen-hour sched ule is announced , observing people realize that what happened to the "lly- er" might have happened to one of the so-cailed slow trains , and the result in the latter case , perhaps , would have been more disastrous than in the for mer because of the lighter equipment -of the slow train. It is to be borne in luiiul that the "llyer" was wrecked not .because it was going at high speed but because a switch had been left open. So far as speed is concerned , the results of a wreck are not much affect ed by a difference of a few miles per liour. The dangers of railroad travel are little affected by the scheduled : speed of trains. There is a certain ele- jment of peril that cannot be eliminated entirely , but that peril applies to the -slowest as well as to the fastest trains. It was the open switch and not the high spaced of the flyer that was re sponsible for , the catastrophe at Meu- .tor. -WILL HAVE A SUMMER CAPITAL. Philippines to Be Given a Counterpar of India's Oflicial Resort. The United States is to lay out a sum- jiser capital in thu mountains , about l.50 miles from Manila similar to Simla , the summer capital of India , to which the Jfitter government is removed en masse -on April 1 of every year , and remains until Nov. 1. Thus the government of India has a duplicate set of public oili- ces. one in Calcutta and one in Simla. 'The books and records are moved back and forth every your , and the oflicinls and their clerks and messengers make an annual migration. Most of them are thus required to keep up establishments .in both cities. This has been found to be absolutely -necessary to the health of the corps of officials and their families. It is impos sible for white men to survive the sum- .mer climate of Calcutta , while in the winter Simla is buried under snow. The .climate of Manila during the rainy sea son is similar to that of Calcutta , and is exceedingly trying. Few people can live there for two years in succession without suffering for it the rest of t' " - "Jives , and the strongest of constitu will break down ultimately. At present the only recourse is to run up to Japan to escape the heat and the humidity of -the summer , but that is too expensive a trip for men of ordinary incomes , and the government cannot afford to give its employes the long leaves of absence that are necessary to make the journey. Within five hours by railroad of Manila , "however , is a climate as healthful and an .atmosphere as pure as that of Colorado Springs , or the Adirondacks. It is about .5.000 feet above the sea , surrounded by forests and bountifully supplied with pure spring water. It has been decided to build a summer capital there , and remove the entire gov ernment from Manila to Bcnguat dur ing the summer months. In order to do this it will be necessary to construct a number of buildings for official purposes and to build hotels , boarding houses , cot tages and other quarters for the officials and their families. Several of the offi cials have already erected houses there , and the medical corps of thearmy has established a sanitarium to which it sends convalescents from the military hospitals. Two or three of the mission ary boards have erected homes and asy lums for destitute and deserving invalids , but before any more of the land is taken up and any more buildings are erected it is considered desirable to lay out a city upon artistic lines. ' Telegraphic Brevities. Three men were killed and one mortal ly wounded in a feud fight at Palmetto Omaha has received reports that the Bessian fly is doing great damage to Ne- "braska wheat. F. L. Quimby , formerly captain of the 'lYale baseball team , according to late ' -advices , suddenly becoming insane , wa taken into custody by the rurales neat . Colima , Cuba. He found an opportunity , however , to obtain a razor and killed J&imself. MRS. ROOSEVELT'S NEW SUMMER HOME IN VIRGINIA. Mrs. Roosevelt's summer home in Al- bomarle county , Virginia , was a part of the beautiful Springfield farm owned by W. N. Wilmer of Ne\v York. The Springfield farm consists of about 500 acres altogether , but Mrs. Roosevelt's purchase comprises only fifteen acres and a small house. This dwelling , by Mrs. Roosevelt's order , has had a rock chim ney added to it and a porch has been built around the dwelling. All the par titions on the lower floor have been re moved , making one largo room. Mrs. Roosevelt bought the property so that when she wishes a week or so of rest she can go to the little retreat among the Virginia mountains. LOCUSTS RAVAGE THE WHEAT. Many Fields Swarm with 17-Year De stroyers of Vegetation. The 17-year locust has appeared hi some parts of the country and is doing a great deal of damage to the wheat fields , orchards and forest trees. Ac cording to their peculiar habit they come in the night to the surface of the ground from their subterranean caverns , where they have been maturing and slumbering for the last seventeen years. The ground beneath the trees is perforated like an immense colander with the holes from whieji they emerged. Soon after emerging from the ground the locusts shed their underground over coats , leaving the trunks of the trees studded with the dry and brittle garment of yellowish hue. Scientists say the eggs from which this brood was hatched were laid on the leaves of the trees seventeen years ago. The eggs remained where they were deposited for three years , when the cicadas were hatched and the new born insect burrowed downward into the ground. Here , beside the roots of trees , the insects dwet until this year , when they sallied forth iu numberless quanti ties , 'driving the farmer almost to ruin in their ravages. The locusts after flying about for a few days , feeding on the vegetation , at- ! tach themselves to the under side of the leaves on the trees. Here the female deposits her eggs. The cicadas have three deadly .ene mies in this country the despised Eng lish sparrow , digger wasp and the ants. At present the innumerable locusts are filling the air with their sonorous , monot onous and doleful song. The farmers are spraying their orchards with prepar- , ed mixture of kerosene. Out on the prai rie farms the insects threaten destruc tion to the growing crop. The sparrows have come in countless thousands to the aid of the farmer. Rob ins and wild birds find the locust palat able eating. The sparrows' method of attracting the locust is to wait on the ground for the locust to appear above the ground , when he greedily gobbles him up before he gets time to sing his dying song. JAPAN REFUSES ARMISTICE. Informs Roosevelt that Plenipoten tiaries Must Meet First. Japan has informed the United States that hhe will not agree to an armistice with Russia until the peace plenipoten- i tiaries have met and found each ether's credentials entirely satisfactory. She would be willing to do so if a guarantee I of some kind could be given her that Russia will negotiate a peace in good faith. The President's efforts to stop ( , the fighting in Manchuria have thus met with a temporary check. So far as can be ascertained Russia has not asked for an armistice , and will I not do so. She is in the same receptive mood she was when the President broached the idea of peace. It is Japan this time which is not welcoming the -uggestion of an armistice. Marshal yama has a force greatly superior to that of Gen. Linevitch. A tremendous victory will insure better terms for his country. Moreover , if hostilities should be stopped the Russians might continue to strengthen Gen. Linevitch. At pres ent he has only suflicient re-enforcementa to make up for the wastage due to death in battle or from disease. Japan's position has the sympathy of officers of the army and navy in Wash ington. Its justice is also concede 1 by the administration. There is no way by which she can be brought to adopt a different attitude. Germany and France have made polite representations at To- kio in behalf of peace. Neither has gone , or dares to go , as far as the United States. Great Britain has asserted posi tively that she will not bring pressure to bear upon her ally. Cheap Labor and Destitution. It is estimated that in New York City there are 100,000 respectable Euglish- ttpeaking families who are on the verge of destitution because of being crowded out of employment by the great volume of cheap European labor. The wrfare of tjs class of citizens has recently been interesting sociologists. They say that relief must come from some sour * or they will become a burden to the city. These families are of the class with too nuch pride to ask for charity. Interesting News Items. Captain T. Bentley Mott , the retiring American military attache in Paris , has received the cross of the Legion of Honor from France. Mrs. Barclay H. Warburton , of Phila delphia , recovered the $00,000 pearl neck lace she lost , the jewels having been picked up in the street. Horace R. Basler , editor and proprie tor of the Sheridan ( Pa. ) Journal , fell off a Panhandle passenger train at Pitts- fcnrf and was so seriously injured that he died iu an hour NEW INSECT PEST. A Pernicious But ; Which Destroy * Wood and Wooden Structures. Fifty years ago a traveling entomol < > gist reported that lie was surprised to find termites "colonized in San Francisco and on the shores of Lake Erie , near Cleveland , Ohio. " The termite looks liks an ant , but is not of the ant fam ily. It is really allied to the dragon flies and May flies. It is of tropical origin , but somehow man- WIXGED TEKMITE. aged to colonize in the land of the free and the home of the brave. A few days ago , Prof. Oldenbach in.- formed Dr. L. O. Howard , government entomologist , that on being called to ex amine into an accident at the big Upson Nut and Bolt works , at Cleveland , where in one man had been killed and another injured , he discovered that the accident was due to the work of termites. These pernicious insects had eaten out the in terior of wooden pillar foundations , so tfrat when two workmen happened to press too hardly against them , the pillars collapsed. Prof. Oldenbach attributes mfiy simi lar accidents and the destruction of buildings in Cleveland and other cities to the work of termites. The invasion of the United States by the termite has become very thorough. It has been found on mountain tops of Colorado at a height of 7,000 feet. Not long ago an accumulation of books and papers belonging to the State of HEAD OF THE TERMITE. Illinois was thoroughly ruined by their attacks. In South Carolina a school library closed for the summer was found in autumn to be completely eaten out and valueless. Even in the Department of Agriculture , at Washington , an accu mulation of records and documents , stor ed in a vault , on examination proved to be thoroughly mined and ruined by these destroyers. They work in the dark. Prof. C1. L. Marlatt , of the en tomology depart ment , states they cannot bear the full sunshine , and when exposed to it shrivel up and die. They first colonize under ground and then be gin their attack on a building , seldom , if ever , coming to a floor surface. 1 Prof. Marlatt QUEEX TEKMITE. states in reply to manufactory and house owners threatened or undergoing attack by the pest that complete dryuess in buildings is essential. If the winged termites are seen to emerge from any particular place , by the removal of flooring and the opening of the walls , the colony may be reached and destroyed by steam , hot water , or , I preferably , kerosene or some other petro j leum oil. To destroy the winged individ uals is of no value at all ; the colony itself must be reached. But in places where the pest has be come serious , the only remedy seems to be ultimately the replacing of wooden floors , etc. , by stone , brick or cement. PROGRESS MADE BY CROPS. Weather Is Favorable for Corn Culti vation and Wheat Harvest. The following is the general summary of crop conditions as shown by tho weekly bulletin of the weather bureau : With the exception of the upper Mis souri valley , where low temperatures pre vailed , all districts east of the Rocky mountains received ample heat during the week ended June 19. The rainfall was very unevenly distributed , being am ple in most northern districts , but insuffi cient in portions of the central valleys and of the middle Atlantic and Southern States , although good rains fell in some parts of these districts. The week was favorable for the cultivation of crops , and this work , which in previous weeks was much hindered , is now in a very sat isfactory state. Abnormally low temper atures prevailed over most of the pla teau districts , with frosts in some places. Except in eastern Missouri and central and southern Illinois , corn has made good progress throughout the corn belt. Cul tivation has been brought up to date , ex cept in portions of Michigan , Wisconsin and South Dakota. Winter wheat has progressed under favorable conditions and harvesting is now well advanced in Kansas , Missouri and southern Illinois , and has begun In Indiana and Maryland. The reports from the southern portion of the wheat area generally indicate yields lighter than were antictp t rL Fair yields of good quality are reported from California and in Oregon and Washington the crop has made good progress. In portions of Wisconsin and Minne sota dry weather is needed for spring wheat , but this crop has generally made very satisfactory progress throughout the spring wheat region and is beginning to head in the southern portion. Very favorable reports continue from the north Pacific coast. The oat crop has suffered to some ex tent from excessive moisture in Wiscon sin and Minnesota , rust in southern Iowa , rank growth in northern Illinois and drought in southern Illinois , but in these States and generally elsewhere the condition of the crop is promising. Oat harvest is in progress as far north as Missouri. In Illinois drought continues in the southern and central parts , where vege tation is suffering. Corn has made rapid growth , is clean , has been cultivated a second or third time , and some laid by. The replanted is up to a good stand. Oats , rye. barley and berries are prom ising ; there is a rank growth of oats in tho north ; moisture is needed in the south. Wheat harvest is well advanced iu the south and begun In the central part ; the ontlook is favorable. Rye ! being cut in the south and is ripening in the north. Barley is heading in the aorth. A large crop of clover Is assured * William Woodville RockMll , tlie suc cessor to Minister Conger at Pekin , has had long and extensive training in diplomatic rela tions with oriental peoples. At the age of 3u he was appointed second secretary of the American legation in Pekin and the following' year , 18S5 , to the full secretaryship. In 188G-1887 he was w. w. BOCKHIIX. charge d'affaire in Korea and during the next two years explored China , Mongolia and Thibet , visiting many remote regions of those countries. Returning to the United States , Mr. Rockhill became chief clerk of the State Department in Washing ton ; then third , and , in 189G-1S97 , First Assistant Secretary of State. In 1S9T he was appointed United States minis ter to Greece , Roumania and Servia. From this post he resigned in May , 1899. In July , 1900 , he went to Pekin as special envoy and remained in China during the long-continued negotiations between the Chinese government and the powers , and was largely instru mental in securing the signing of the final protocol. To have been an Important part in the developing of a national reputation for a husband is an enviable accom plishment for any woman. To an un usual degree Mrs. . William E. Cramer was of assistance in the bu/lding of the Honorable rep utation of the late editor of the Mil- w a u kee Evening Wisconsin. For over forty years , during practically MKS. w. E. CKAMKII. all of the time her husband was en gaged in the formation o his career , Mrs. Cramer was his eyes and ears , and his trusted and necessary assist ant. She accompanied him on tours of Europe and of this country and ren dered him invaluable assistance in the securing and preparation of the manu script that made the blind and deaf editor a national character. Her de votion to her husband was beautiful , and at the last tinged freely with the pathetic. She remained at his bedside and ministered to his needs until his death. Among the remarkable experi ences she had while traveling with Mr. Cramer was during the Franco- , Prussian war , when the Cramers were locked up in Paris for several months during the siege. Rev. Lee Anna Starr , a Methodist minister at Paris , 111. , recently came i.ito public notice through her refusal to marry a couple until she was fur nished evidence that neither of the contracting parties was a divorcee. Miss Starr has been in the gospel ministry ten years , and in that time she says she has officiated at many JEV. L. A. STAKH. weddings. In but one instance has she deviated from ( i her rule not to marry a person who has been absolved from a marriage , contract by legal action. In that in stance the ceremony had practically i commenced before Miss Starr learned . that the woman was divorced. She Immediately caused the proceedings to be postponed until she learned that the divorce had .been obtained on the ground of desertion , and that the wife had been unable to secure tmce of the husband who had wronged her. Con sidering that this constituted scriptural grounds Miss Starr proceeded with the ceremony. She believes divorce j to be a growing evil which can be combated by clergymen refusing tc marry divorced persons. Theodore P. Delyannis , prime min ister of Greece , who was assassinated by a gambler , had a record of forty- six years spent in tne public service , with few temporary inter ruptions. He was born in Kalavryta in 1S2G , and studied in Athens. In 1843 he entered the govern ment service and was rapidly promot ed to high positions. T. p.

Christiania , Norway , advices say that the address to King Oscar , the riksdag and the Swedish people generally , adopt ed by the storthing in reply to the long letter which the King sent June 13 to the president of the storthing , M. Ber- ner , is of a conciliatory character. At the same time , however , it indicates the unalterable determination of the stor thing to adhere to the action taken in dissolving the union with Sweden. Address in part follows : ' 'Your Majesty Norway's storthing respectfully begs to address Your Ma jesty and through Your Majesty Swe den's Riksdag and Sweden's people as follows : "What has been happening recently in Norway is the inevitable result of a combination of late political events and cannot be altered. "The Storthing recognizes fully Your Majesty's difficult position and never for a moment has doubted that Your Majes ty's decisions are in accordance with what Your Majesty has regarded as the rights and duties of the crown. At the same time the Storthing is desirous of addressing an appeal to Your Majesty , the Riksdag and the people of Sweden , with the object of contributing to the peaceful carrying through of the disso lution of the union and the safeguarding of the friendship and concord of the two peoples of the peninsula. "The Norwegian people never intended to assail Sweden's honor. As Your Ma jesty in council May 26 declared you were unable to sanction the Storthing's unanimous resolution for the establish ment of a separate Norwegian consular service , and as no Norwegian govern ment could be obtained by Your Majes ty , the constitutional state of Norway was so far disjointed that the union could no longer be maintained. "In the belief that the Swedish people share these views , the Storthing sug gests to Sweden's constitutional authori ties that they enter upon the negotia tions requisite for a final settlement on the dissolution of the union with tho recognition of Norway's new status and her rights as a sovereign state. The Storthing is itself prepared to meet every fair and reasonable wish that may be put forward to safeguard the Kingdom's in dependence and integrity. " i Conservative Swedish papers openly j advocate war against Norway and the situation is growing more intense. They j urge mobilization of the troops and de mand the cession of Northern Norway as ' compensation to tho Swedish people for the dissolution of the union. WOOO/IEN IN BIENNIAL SESStON I Head Consul Recommends Prohibition of Sunday Picnics. The head camp of Modern Woodmen of America opened its fourteenth bien nial convention in Milwaukee Tuesday , with between GOO and 700 delegates , rep resenting over 11,000 camps and nearly 700,000 members , present. | Mayor .Rose welcomed the delegates to the city and presented the keys of the j city to the head consul. Responses were j made by Head Consul A. R. Talbot for. the Modern Woodmen and Head Clerk Charles W. Hawes of Rock Island , 111. , for the head office. Head Consul A. R. Talbot recommend ed an amendment of the by-laws prohib iting local camps or Foresters' teams from holding Sunday picnics or excur sions under the auspices of the society , with a penalty for disobedience of ex pulsion or revocation of charter. Head Clerk C. W. Hawes reported the insurance in force at the close of the biennial term to be $1,136,078,500. The society paid 7,051 death claims , amount ing to $12GG3G03 , as against 5,800 claims , amounting to $10,730,435 during the term preceding. The average per cap ita payment to the benefit fund was $1.2G > , as against SO cents during the term preceding. The increase was due to the new rates becoming effective Jan. 1 , 1904 , when tho rates of the members were increased from 25 per cent to 75 per cent at the various ages. There were 2,991 deaths from accident and 804 deaths from suicide. Of the latter 248 were farmers 30.85 per cent of the total j number. The farmers also led in acci dental deaths 885. | FACTS ABOUT : : : f : : : THE CENSUS. Tho Federal Census Bureau will soon send a large force of employes Into ev- ] ery State in the Union to gather facts and statistics concerning marriage and divorce. The plans for the investigation , which Congress ordered last winter upon the suggestion of President Rooseveif , are finished , and the field force of the bureau , now just completing the collec tion of material for the census of man ufactures , will shortly be available for the work. Not since 18S9 has any systematic compilation of such facts been made , and the great changes which bave come about since then have made it clear that a new gathering of statistics is desirable for purposes of general information. while it is absolutely essential if any action is to be taken toward securing better legislation on these subjects. The census bureau will collect and analyze the provisions of the marriage and divorce laws in each State and Ter ritory. It will get as complete statistics of marriages and divorces as possible since 18S9 , and it will aim to discover in each State the prevailing grounds on which divorces are applied for and grant ed. State officials will be asked to fur nish such figures as they have gathered , but as their work , even where they have any results to show , is usually very in complete , this must be supplemented by resort to original records. The chaos of our marriage and divorce laws which has resulted from the free activity of the different State Legisla tures , will undoubtedly be shown in vivid fashion by the report. A strong impetus to the movement for simplification and reform , either by securing joint action among the States or by a constitutional amendment granting Congress the power to legislate in this field , may be expected to follow. Spark * from the Wire * . Sherborne , England , celebrated the twelve hundredth anniversary of Its founding Man in the Kitchen. The helplessness of mere man in tho presence of ordinary domestic tasks was illustrated in the case of the old miner , who explained that he had once tried to improve his cooking by study ing a book of recipes. "It was no use , " he sadly confessed , "because every one of them receipts starts off with 'take a clean dish. ' " He was kin to one of the sons of Mrs. Dunsmuir , a Scotchwoman living in Pennsylvania. She was called away ; from home one day Just after dinner. As she was leaving she said to th& boys : "One of you must wash the dishes and the other wipe them and put them avray , so that everything will be tidy by the time I get back. " "All right , mother , " said Jack , "but Will's got to wipe them. I'm willing to wash , but wiping Is such greasy work ! " Of Wide Interest. Breed , Wis. , June 26. ( Special. ) Chas. Y. Peterson , Justice of the Peaca for Oconto Co. , has delivered a judg ment that is of interest to the whole United States. Put briefly , that Judg ment is , "Dodd's Kidney Pills are tha best Kidney medicine on the market to-day. " And Mr. Peterson gives his reason for this judgment. He says : "Last winter I had an aching pain in my back which troubled me very much. In the morning I could hardly straighten my back. I did not know what it was. but an advertisement led me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. After taking ona box I can only say they have dona more for me than expected , as I feel as well now as ever I did before. " Pain in the back is one of the first symptoms of Kidney Disease. If not cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills it may levelop into Bright's Disease , Diabetes , Rheumatism or some of the other dead ly forms of Kidney Disease. Fog-Signaling Station. The lighthouse board of the United States has been making some interest ing tests with a new fog-signaling ap paratus , says London Sphere. The ob ject of this device is not only to warn the mariner of close approach to an island or dangerous rock but to inform him of his exact compass bearing. The apparatus is in the form of a single au tomatically revolving megaphone with , eight trumpets , which are sounded In turn. It is blown by a prearranged code BO that any one hearing it may know exactly in what direction he ia steering. The instrument at Falkner'a Island is operated a-s follows : One long blast means that the signal you hear is north of you , one short blast that it is south of you. One of the fog-signaling apparatuses has been placed by the Canadian gov ernment at Fame Point In the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Some elaborate fog sig nals have recently been carried out at St. Catherine's Point in the Isle of "TTight. For the improvement of the fog-signaling apparatus used In the British lighthouse a great variety of curiously shaped horns were used. It was found that a great amount of waste occurred by some of the sound going in an upward direction , and to get rid of this wastage a special ellip tical mouth trumpet was devised for use at lighthouses.

" TWO NOTABLE EECOVEEIES PEOM EXTBEME DEBILITY. Husband's Strength Had Been Waning : for Three Tears , Wife a Sufferer from Female Weakness. "My strength had dwindled so that I couldn't apply myself to my business with any snap hut was tired and listless all the time , " said Mr. Goldstein. " I went to bed completely used up by nr * day's work , and wheu I got tip in the morning I didn't feel rested a bit. I had awful headaches too , and my kid neys gob out of order and caused me to have severe pains in the back. At one time I became so feeble that I could uot stir from bed for three weeks. " Mr. Goldstein is a young man and had then but recently established a home of bis own. His anxieties were increased by the fact that his wife was far from being robust. Mrs. Goldstein says : " For two years I had been ill most of the time. Sometimes I was confined to bed for weeks in succession under a phy sician's care. I had headaches , kidney trouble , pain about the heart and many more uncomfortable symptoms con nected with that weakness to which my eex is peculiarly subject. " Trouble had invaded this household and settled in it in just the years that ought to be the very happiest. Physicians could not tell them how to get rid of it. " I was utterly discouraged , "said Mr. Goldstein. "Then the urgency of some friends led me to try a blood and nerve remedy which was said to be wonder fully successful. "Within a mouth there were unmistakable signs of improvement in my condition , and within a year I was completely well. Through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I have now as good health as I ever had in my life. " Mrs. Goldstein adds : "The-wonderful effect that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had in the case of my husband led me to try them and they helped me even more quickly than they did him. One box made me decidedly better and a few months'treatment cured me. " Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the best tonic and regulator , they make pure , , rich blood and when there is general weakness and disorder that ia what tho system needs. Mr. and Mrs , H.
