J "I was troubled for years with a
sore on my knee, which several
physicians, who treated me, called a
cancer, assuring me that nothing
could be done to save my life. As
a last resort, I was induced to try
Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and, after taking
a number of bottles, the sore

treatment, until the sore was entirely

Captain Fallow, of Islesboro, tells
| a good story on himself which occur- re
; red a few years ago, while he was ar
i trading at Key West. It was a case
| where a Yankee was outwitted by a ^
Southerner. The captain was trading
in a small vessel, and had been
up the coast to Tampa Bay, where
he purchased twenty dozen chickens, Ci
paying $4 a dozen. The chickens
ran all the way in size from a few kc
days old to full grown ones. At Key *a
West a hotel landlord came along
and asked the captain how he sold
chickens. The captain replied: "If he
you pick them out I shall charge $6
per dozen; if you let me pick them 8e
out, you can have them at $3 per *a
dozen." "All right," said the hotel ^
man, "you pick them cut." The P*
captain selected several dozen of the ^
smallest, when the man said: "Go *u
ahead, I want more." The captain as
was now among his largest fowls, *0
and wished the man would stop, but 3U
he still said, "go on." The captain S1
saw the point at last. The man
kept him selecting until he purchased er
j the entire lot at a loss of $20 to the tr

After rae&ls you should have 6im- 01

many dangerous diseases, that it is

ashamed of in those trying years.
It would be a shame to forget those
who served, suffered and died for
our rights; and it would be a shame
also to abate one jot of our claim
that our cause was just and light.

It is pleasant to note that South j
Carolinians had much kindness be- !

honors. His devoted services in war
and peace deferred such recognition,
and our people will be glad that the

All the People
Should keep themselves healthy and
especial care should be given to this
matter at this time. Health depends
upon pure, rich blood, for when the
blood is impure and impoverished
diseases of various kinds are almost
certain to result. The one true blooc
purifier is Hood's Sarsaparilla. By
its power to purify and vitalize the
blood it has proved itself to be thf
safeguard of health, and the record

surface and left it raw and sore. The
doctors saw it was necessary to graft
portions of skin to the surface to
bring about a cure. They told the
sick man of it and they bared bis
sides to cut off the strips of skin to
put over the raw arm.

a moan, the man fell over in a faint
sickened by the pain. His wife had
been watching, her sympathetic heart
touched to its depths by the sight of
her husband's suffering.
"Doctor, don't do that again," she
begged. "Don't cut any more. He
is too weak and has suffered too much.
Cut it off me. Won't that dot"
The doctor told her that it would.
She cooly bared her arm and told
them she was ready. The razor
edged blade sunk into the flesh and
went ripping down, followed by a
tiny fountain of blood. She did not
wince. Dexteriously, expertly the
doctors slit out a piece of skin and
grafted it over the man's arm. Another
and another piece was cut out,
until more than a dozen had been
removed, and all the while the Spartan
woman remained standing watching
the swift flash of the knife, the
springing of the warm blood and
sickening spectacle without shrieking
once.
The husband's arm grafted over
with skin taken from his wife's arm
is now well, and the arm of the brave
woman is fast healing up, leaving
many long scars that will ever bear
evidence to the heroism of her love.

Although I never used any secret
remedies before, I prescribe St.
Joseph's Sarsaparilla in my practice
as I would any prescription of my
own compounding, and any physician
who will do the same will be
greatly pleased at the results
achieved. In my opinion it is superior
to all others and has been especially
useful to me in Rheumatic
and Scrofulous cases.
