BOSTON BARGAIN STORE.
Very Truly,
There is not a more familiar figure ;
on the streets of Atlanta than the man ■
whose picture is here shown. Every- i
body knows him by sight ami it will be -
remembered that years ago he began j
| to wear on his upper lip, just under
his nose, a small piece of court plas- ■
ter, not larger than a silver half dime; |
this plaster he has worn constantly,
though it gradually increased in size, ;
as everybody knows, until it was as
large as a silver dollar. This man is
M. M. Nicholson, who resides at the
corner of Anderson and Curran Sts.
It was thirty years ago, that he first
noticed a tiny scale, like a piece of
wheat bran, on his lip. He at first
thought it only a fever blister, but it
was not long before his cheeks became
diseased and painful to the touch, and
he soon realized that he had fallen a
victim to that most dreadful disease—
Cancer. It rapidly increased in size
and severity, and remembering that
his father had cancer when he died,
and that his uncle also lost his life by
this terrible disease, which destroyed
his tongue, throat and left eye, Mr.
Nicholson became thoroughly alarmed,
and realized that his condition was
more than serious.

Couple.
.1. Claud Jefferies was united in the

NOT
LIKE
OTHERS
There is a difference between medi
cines and medicines. .
• Those of to-day. as a rule, differ from
those of the past in many respects.
Fully as great is the difference be
tween Dr. King's
ROYAL GERMETUER
and the ordinary medicines of today.
It is unlike them in
THESE FIVE THINGS:
1. It does not taste like a medi
cine. It is as pleasant to take. as
lemonade and makes a most refreshing
drink.
2. It never nauseates the most
delicate stomach.
3. It does not swap off one dis
ease for anot her. It docs not set up
one form of disease in order to relieve
another as is so often the case.
4. It contains no alcohol or
opium in any form and is always
harmless even when given to a babe
one day old.
5. It docs not patch simply, it
cures. It reaches as nothing else
docs to the hidden sources of disease
in the blood and removes the cause. It
does this with an case and power that
have never been equaled.
For all troubles of the Blood, Stomach.
Bowels. Kidnevs and Nerves, and for all forms
of MAUlilAL COISOX it stands pre-eminent—
without a rival or a peer.

M. M. NICHOLSON.
Giving up entirely his business, he
went to Cincinnati and remained for j
several months under treatment of a
celebrated specialist. He was after
wards treated in Elmira. New York,
where the cancer was twice removed,
but he declares that death was prefer
able to such treatment It returned,
howeve r, and the disease seemed to be
of a most virulent type; the doctors af
forded absolutely no relief, the cancer
spreading all the time, eating out en
tirely the partition in the nose, as well
as the upper lip and gums.
“Some months ago,” he says, “I be
gan to use S. S. S., though I admit with
little faith that it could cure me, but to
my surprise, a few bottles afforded
some relief. Thus encouraged, I de
termined to give the medicine a thor
ough trial, and it was not long before
the progress of the disease seemed
checked. I continued the medicine,
and remarkable as it may seem, I am
cured and feel like I have new life. I
can talk more distinctly, for the flesh
has begun to grow back around my
teeth, where it has been literally eaten
away. S. S. S. is the most wonderful
remedy in the world, and as my condi
tion is pretty generally known, every
body will agree that the cure is indeed
a most remarkable one. S. S. S. has
given me a new hold on life, and I
shall certainly sing its praises the re
mainder of my days.”
The above is but one of many re
markable cures being daily made by
S. S. S. Cancer is becoming alarm
ingly prevalent, and manifests itself
in such a variety of forms, that any
sore or scab, it matters not how small,
which does not readily heal up and
disappear, may well he regarded with
suspicion. We will gladly send to any
address, full accounts of several other
cures fully as remarkable as this one.
For real blood troubles, S. S. S. has
no equal. It wipes out completely the
