Under this treatment, it is bat a short step from vigor and health to a n P a ’ r of crutches. With tld wreck or the system often comes falling' of the hair and eyebrows, loss ot ingcr nails, and decay of the bones—a condition most horrible. This is'O overdrawn picture, for the world to-day is full of these hobbling mercurial wrecks. Contagious Blood T’oison is the most horrible o 1 " all diseases, and has been appropriately called the cur e of man kind. Until the discovery of S. S. S., it was incurable. It has always baf fled the doctors, and it is in this dis ease that the evils of mercury and potash are most common, because these drugs are given in such large doses in an effort to counteract the poison. While they succeed in bottling up the poison in the system, it always breaks forth again, attacking some delicate organ, frequently the mouth and throat, filling them with eating sores. S. S. S. is the only known cure for this terrible disease. It is the same in other diseases of the blood. Scrofula, Eczema, Cancer, Rheumatism, all are given the same treatment by the physicians—mercury and potash, and the result as above set forth is always the same. We offer a remedy purely vegetable, powerful in its effect, yet harmless in every way. For fifty years S. S. S. has been curing blood diseases, from the most violent to the mildest case, after all other treatment failed. It is guaranteed purely vegetable, and one thousand dollars reward is offered for proof to the contrary. It b. a real blood remedy for real blood troubles, and never fails to cure Contagious Blood Poison, Scrofula, Eczema, Rheu matism, Cancer, or any other disease of the blood. If you have a blood dis ease, take a remedy which will not injure you. Beware of mercury ; don’t do violence to your system. Don’t get bottled up!

Fully as great is the difference be tween Dr. King’s Glucose Imitation of Honey. “How much adulterated honey is sold in Chicago? That is hard to tell,” said Dr. C. C. Butler, president of the State Beekeepers’ association, “but there is a great deal of glucose which is sold for honey. “It is said that since August Chicago has received 500 tons of honey. Some and the ordinary medicines of to-day people say over 1,000 tons have been T * ^ 41 s - sold. The increase is all glucose. Adul teration is confined wholly to strained honey. It is impossible for human art to produce real honey in the comb which is not a bungling affair. I once saw an attempt by a celebrated German to imi- I tato the bee, and the work looked fairly well until it was placed alongside of real honeycomb, when it was evident it was a bad job.

Frank Dalton, of the Snow Lumber Co., was in the city Tuesday. Con- “Beekeepers feel‘sore’over the sale of glucose for the real article, and we will go before the legislature at its next ■essinn and ask that it bo made a crim inal offense. The adulteration lowers the price of honest honey and injures its sale sit any price.”—Chicago Tribune. < iinVK't. Knrnpcd.

It does 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 does not patch simply, it cures. It reaches as nothing else does to the hidden sources of disease in the blood and removes the cause. It does this with an ease and power that have never been equaled. For all troubles of the Blood, Stomach, Bowels, Kidneys and Nerves, and for all forms of MALARIAL POISON it stands pre-eminent— without a rival or a peer. tV Sold by druggists, new package, largo bot tle. 108 Doses, One Dollar.
