Eruptions and skin
diseases are a blot
upon
These blots are actually blood blots. To
cure them lotions and outward appli
cations are useless. The blood must be
cured, before the skin becomes clean.
That great medicine for the stomach
and blood, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, is most effective in cleansing
the complexion and healing diseases
which defile and deface the skin. It
acts directly upon the stomach and the
organs of digestion and nutrition. It
increases the action of the blood-making
glands, and expels from the system the
lurking poisons which defile the blood
and through it deface the skin.
No alcohol or other intoxicant, no
opi"tn or other narcotic is contained in
"Golden Medical Discovery."
It may pay a dealer better to sell you a
substitute which is less popular but more
profitable than the "Discovery." It
ron't pay you to buy it, if you want a
reliable remedy.
" For about one year and a half my face was
very badly broken out," writes Miss Carrie
Adams, of 116 West Main St., Battlecreek, Mich.
" I spent a great deal of money with doctors and
for different kinds of medicine, but received no
benefit. At last I read one of your advertise
ments in a paper, and obtained a bottle of Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Before I
had taken one bottle of this medicine I noticed
a change, and after taking three bottles I was
entirely cured. I can well recommend Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery to any one
similarly afflicted."

AN ENTICING PERSON.
THE SMOOTH TONGUED ENGLISH RE-
CRUITING SERGEANT.
How He Obtains the Raw Material
For tbe British Army and What His
Persuasive Manner Adds to Ei
Purse Military Nicknames.
According to the British system of en
listment, a "queen's shilling" is paid over
to every man who enters the service.
Th "queen's shilling" is so termed be
cause its acceptance from a recruiting
sergeant makes the receiver a "queen's
man," body and soul.
The British recruiting sergeant the
man who gives the shilling is generally
tall, erect, broad of shoulders, deep of
chest, supple of limb, with the bearing
of a conqueror, tempered by geniality,
and an ideally persuasive tongue. Al
ways iu uniform and white gloves, with
cap a-tilt on his head and baton continu
ally in evidence, he plays a most impor
tant part in the army system of his
country. He generally hunts in couples,
and bis chosen walks are either in the
Ticinity of some great barracks or in the
poorer quarters of the town where he is
stationed. The favorite stamping grounds
of the London recruiting sergeants are
in the neighborhood of the Horse guards
and in Trafalgar square, on the sides
fronted by the National gallery and St.
Martin's church.
Those who take the shilling there are
initiated into the service of her majesty
at the recruiting depot of St. George's
barracks, just behind the National gal
lery. This is the largest in Great Brit
ain, and probably one-quarter of all the
British recruits are there enrolled. Oth
er 4arge depots are found at Woolwich,
Hounslow and elsewhere. In fact, there
is a recruiting depot in every town of
note in all Great Britain.
The recruiting sergeants who work in
the square and near the Horse guards,
have a far easier task to perfom gener
ally than those who do duty elsewhere.
Under the splendid stimulus furnished
by the crack cavalry s appearance the re
cruits rarely have to be subjected to
much persuasion and often offer them
selves unsolicited. Recruits are easily
obtained also in many places on occa
sions of great parades. But in ordinary
circumstances securing recruits for her
majesty's service is not a task to be
lightly undertaken.
Fortunately crimping and the press
gang are no longer necessary in order to
keep the army ranks fairly well filled,
' uut it is true tnat tne recruiting ser
geants for the militia and the ordinary
foot regiments are sometimes obliged to
resort to rather devious expedients. It is
also true that a very large percentage
of the recruits are picked up in the city
slums, where a glass or two of ale and a
good jollying from a splendid fellow like
a recruiting sergeant are far more likely
than, anything else to produce the desired
results. Recruits obtained in slum neigh
borhoods are mainly youngsters out of
work, often without family ties and
sometimes quite willing, if well persuad
ed, to get away from their present sur
roundings even if the prospects be fairly
favorable for service .against half sav
age native rebels in India, the still more
savage blacks of Africa or the Boerg,
who are more dangerous because of their
superior marksmanship than either Hin
doos or other blacks. A guarantee of
the recruit's good moral character is re
quired ostensibly, but the regulations
upon this point are not administered with
great rigidity in many instances, and the
contingency of rejection upon the moral
record of the recruit is remote indeed.
Very many of the men recruited in the
more crowded sections of the cities go
Into the militia, which is about as unliks
the national guard here as can easily be
imagined and whose members are re
garded with less favor by the middle
class population of Great Britain than
those of any other branch of the service.
It has been commonly supposed both in
,nd out of England that the .militia
could not be ordered to do foreign serv
ice, but this is an error. The militia
may be sent out of the country if occa
sion arise, and, furthermore, if its ranks
be not filled by "volunteer enlistment,"
limited conscription may be enforced.
This has not becu resorted to in 30 years,
but the law authorizing it is still on the
statute books and would be -effective any
year in which the customary militia bal
lot suspension act was not passed by par
liament. Recruiting sergeants ar paid 60 cents
for every ordinary recruit. For a recruit
suitable to enter the Scots guards, the
cavalry, the engineers or the artillery,
whose qualifications" must be of a higher
order than those of a recruit for most
regiments of foot soldiers, the pay is
$1.25. Much more is often allowed for
a man fit to be a Life guardsman. The
equivalent of $15 is not unprecedented,
and there are some other regiments re
cruits for which bring fancy pay to the
sergeant securing them.
The nickname "Tommy Atkins," which
it nf thp Rritish emmre is eenerallv
! supposed to apply to all British soldiers.
in reality applies only to the infantry 01
the line. To call an artilleryman any
thing but "gunner" would be to insult
him. The enlisted cavalryman would
not recognize any title save "trooper,"
and the engineer is a "sapper."
Should the raw recruit repent he may
bp honsrht off within a certain definite
period, and British mothers, who hate re
cruiting sergeants intensely, frequently
secure their sons' release in this way.
The duties of a British soldier 4n time
of neace are far more arduous than
those of tbe American soldier, a much
greater degree of attention being bestow
ed uDon the condition of arms and ac-
couterments, trimness of uniform, etc.,
than here. On the whole, the cavalryman
has more work in peaceful times than the
foot soldier, for the cavalryman has his
horse as well as himself to keep in condi
tion.
The normal pay is a shilling a day, or
24 rents, while the normal daily ration.
varied sometimes to suit conditions, is a
pound of bread and three-quarters of a
pound of mectt. Of course, the actual
fare of the British soldier has more va
riety than this would indicate, but he
has to pay for the additions out of his
scanty stipend. His clothes cost him
nothing, but he has to pay for his wash
ing. It Is claimed by the authorities
that his "net" is larger than the average
artisan class in England. More than one
British regiment has mutinied because
of poor maintenance, but complaints of
insufficient and bad food have been rare
of late years. The pay of soldiers serv
ing in India and the colonies is generally
supplemented, sometimes doubled. New

Over-Work Weakens
Your Kidneys.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
All the blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
The kidneys are your
blood purifiers, they f II-.
ter out the waste or
impurities in the blood.
If they are sick or out
of order, they fail to do
their work.
Pains, aches and rheu
matism come from ex
cess of uric acid in the
blood, due to necrlected
kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ning in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Dr., Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is
soon realized. It stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases
and is sold on its merits
by all druggists in fifty
cent and one-dollar siz
es. You may have a
