OXFORD PUBLIC LEDGER, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1907. u BY IMPURITIES IN THE BLOOD Whenever a sore refuses to heal it is because the blood is not pure and Jiealthy, as it should be, but is infected with poisonous germs or some old 'blood taint which has corrupted and polluted the circulation. Those most usually afflicted with old sores are persons who have reached or passed mid dle life. The vitality of the blood and strength of the system have naturally begun to decline, and the poisonous germs which have accumulated because f a sluggish and inactive condition of the system, or some hereditary taint which has hitherto been held in check, now force an outlet on the face, arms, legs or other part of the body. The place grows red and angry, festers and eats into the surrounding tissue until uleer, fed' and kept open by the impurities with which the blood is saturated. "Nothing is more trying and disagreeable than a stubborn, non-healing sore. The very fact that it resists ordinary remedies and treatments is good reason for suspicion; the same germ -producing cancerous ulcers is back of every old sore, and especially is this true if the trouble is an inherited one. Washes, salves, nor indeed anything else, applied directly to the sore, can do any permanent good ; neither will remov t 7 of fur yeaYstandTn ing the sore with caustic plasters or the ias a small pimpla at first but it surgeon's knife make a lasting cure.

For the first time since the wedding St. Croix spoke. "And had we missed you. Sir Henry.

'"And. dad, you can't hang your own son, she cried. "And he is going to leave me with vdu until the Avar is over and he can come for me again with honor." In the clear, revealing moonlight, over the bowed head of the girl in his arms, the chief of the Percys studied the new heir to the line. "Jack Percy's grandson," he muttered at last in unwilling admiration. Then the two involuntarily looked at the one both loved. The struggling Percy pride died hard. At last Sir Henry opened his arms.
