aally bends, the bones ache, while de
crepitude and liclples uc prema
turely take possession of the body.
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!

eases, will be mailed free to any ad'

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
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.

“Beekeepers feel‘sore’over the sale

inal offense. The adulteration lowers
the price of honest honey and injures its
sale sit any price.”—Chicago Tribune.

3. It does not swap off oue dis

one form of disease in order to relieve
another as is so often the case.
4. It contains no alcohol or

harmless even when given to a babe

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
