Inherited Blood Taint. Here ia a case of inherited blood taint which resulted in what threatened to be a complete wreck of an innocent young life. The most serious feature of being afflicted with a blood disease is the fact that innocent posterity must suffer. The man or woman with the slightest taint in the blood forces the nndesirable legacy of impurity upon their children whose veins flow with the impure inheritance which handicaps them in the race of life. No child who has a trace of bad blood can be healthy or strong, and those pre oisposeu 10 ocioiuia are uaoie loagrtn deal of sickness, because their constitutions are weak and cannot withstaud the many dangers which beset the path of childhood. Medical statistics show that a majority of lung troubles result directly from Scrofula, so that a child afflicted with this disease is likely to full a victim to dreaded consumption. Mr. W. A. Clayton, of Addie, N. C., believes S.S.S. is the ouly blood remedy which can have any effect whatever upon obstinate cases. He says : " My three-year-old boy had the worst case of Scrofula I ever heard of. lie 1\;>i>---. " 1 ? MR. \V. A. CLAYTON. was piven many blood remedies without relief, and treated by the best doctors. He seemed to get worse all the while, however, and the disease finally resulted in curvature of the spine, making hitn utterly helpless. "The bad sores on his neck increased in size, and were a source of constant pain. lie was in this pitiful condition for two years, when some one recommended S.S.S., stating that it had cured some of the worst cases of blood diseases. As soon as his system was under the effect of the medicine, the sores began to get better, and in eight days were completely healed. Keforu long he could walk on crutches, and was improving every day. In three months he threw aside his crutches, for he had no further use for them ; the dreadful disease had been eliminated entirely from his system, and he was restored to perfect health. The cure was a permanent one, as no sign of the disease has returned for ten vears." S.S.S* i3 a real blood remedy, and promptly reaches till deep-seated and obstinate blood diseases, it matters not what other treatment has failed. It ?s the only remedy which acts on the correct principle ot forcing the disease from the system and getting rid of it permanently. S. S. S. is a sure cure for Scrofula, Cancer, Catarrh, Kezetna. Rheumatism, Tetter, and all other blood diseases. It *.s Purely Vegetable and is the only remedy guaranteed to contain no potash, mercury or other harmful mineral.

NEW STEEL DISCOVERED. Said to Contain About Twentyfive or Twenty For Cent, of Nickel. The manufacture of nickel steel , I will probably bo revolutionized i bv a now process just invented in : Pittsburg. A company has al : ready been formed by well known I ; local capitalists, and the new pro duct will shortlv be turned out in I, . . large quantities. The new steel was invented by W.J.Williams,a well known steel worker. No patents have been taken out by the inventor, as he feared his secret would thus be learned by others and endless 1 it | igation might result. Careful j analyses were made of the tin l ished product by chemists, but they were unable to discover how tho steel was made or the proportions of the different materials, as I many of the substances had been : changed by the furnace's heat. It is claimed that the new steel jcoutaing from 25 to 30 per cent, i of nickel to the steel. Heretofore not more than 3 to 4 per cent, of I nickel to the steel has been obtained by those engaged in the manufacture of it. The testa made | showed that the Williams steel increased in strength and hardness to the point where Is per cent. I ot nickel was used.and from point to 25 and 30 per cent, each addition of nickel made the product j softer. This variation in the softness or hardness, they claim,is no disadvantage, as the steel will thus become suited to various purposes. They claim that with the new steel, knives may be made just as hard as now, with the additional advantage that they will never | rust. The softer steel will be used for the spokes of bicycles, and a . large trade is expected to be do volopeu on tins class ol work. The advantage gained hy I ho now stool is that much loss stool than ordinary can i>e nsod and have much grealor strength.? 1 'ittsburg Dispatch. I _ I Wheat in the I'nited States.

ONE OF TWO WAYS. The bladder was created for j 'one purpose, namely, a receptacle j for the urine, and as such it is not liable to any form of disease except by one of two ways. The ,'irst way is from imperfect action of the kidneys. The second way I is from careless local treatment of other diseases. <11 IFF CAI'NF. Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys isthechief cause of bladder troubles. So the 1 womb, like the bladder, was cro1 ated for one purpose, and if not aoctoroa roo mucn is not liable to weakness or disease, except in rare cases. It is situated back of and very close to the bladder, therefore any pain or inconvenience manifested in the kidneys, buck, bladder or urinary passage is often, by mistake, attributed to female weakness or womb trouble of some sort. The error is easily made and may be as easily ; avoided. To find out correctly, set your urine aside for twenty four hours; a sediment or settling indicates kidney or bladder trouble.
