The Call to-day attempts a somewhat more adequate presentation of the state of disorder existing. Official records of the receiving hospitals are published, and counts of some of the murderous assaults are given as types of scores of attacks detailed upon more ac- the men who offend only by doing the work that offers. Photographs of a few of the victims are given, and of the weapons used on some of them. " — — IN Tug 2 CENTRAL .

Scrofulai Scrofula is an unwelcome legacy, but one which the children of blood poisoned parentage must accept, with all its humiliating consequences, Itis an inheritance that makes one poorer; that brings wretchedness and disease instead of health and riches, for the child whose ancestral blood is tainted with Scrofula or the loathsome virus of Contagious Blood Poison is unfitted for '.h.eta‘;dno_ns d;:et:s 1:: life so long asany of the transmitted poison remas in its veigs. Scyrofula manifests itself in various forms; swollen glands about the neck and throat, catarrh of the head, weak eyes, hip boné disease, white swelling and offensive sores and abscesses are familiar symptoms, attended usually with loss of strength, poor digestion and pale or bloodless complexion. The skin is sometimes most dreadfully affected, eruptions breaking out on all parts of the body. Scrofula destroys bone, tissue and flesh; no part of the human system escapes its withering, benumbing touch, ‘Whon nineteen years old, and about one year Farents whose blood is pois~ after tho birth of my first child, the glands on ed by thely el the loft pide of my neck began to sweoll.
