THE LEIiCiEK: GAFFNEY, S. MAY 27, 1897.
Is a blood disease and oniy a blood reme
dy can cure it. So many people make
the mistake of taking remedies which
at best are only tonics and cannot possi
bly reach their trouble. Mr. Asa Smith,
Greeacastle, Indiana, says: “For years
I have suffered with Sciatic Rheuma
tism, which thebest physicians were un
able to relieve. I took many patent
medicines but they did not seem tc
reach my trouble. I gradually grew
worse until I was un
able to take my food
or handle myself in
any way; I was abso
lutely helpless. Three
bottles of S.S.5. re
lieved me so that I
jwas soon able to move
my right arm;, before
long I could walk
across the room, and
when I had finished one dozen bottles
was cured completely and am as well as
ever. I now weigh 170.”
A Real Blood Remedy.
S.S.S. cures Scrofula, Cancer, Eczema,
and any form of blood troubles. If you
have a blood disease, take a blood medi
cine—S.S.S. (guaiantcedpurely vegeta-
table) is exclusively for the blood and
is recommended for nothing else. It
forces out the poison matter permanent
ly. We will
send to anyone

Piedmont Textile Club Meeting.
The Piedmont. B. Textile Club
held an interesting meeting on May 7
Five new members were elected and
papers were read on. ‘ Selection of
Stock.” by J. O. Haynes; ‘ How to
Mix Cotton.” by Jos.Bates; “Howto
Make an Even Lap.” by G. W. Mc-
Ab^e. Each of t hese papers was dis
cussed by tire club and many inter
esting point- were brought out. R.
i>. ‘Sloan also gave a practical demon
stration of the method of proving
problems in multiplication and divis
ion by "casting out nines.” One im
portant point brought out concerning
the selection of stock was the grading
of tho cotton as the bales are pul into
tire warehouses, the party making tin
point claiming that unless this was
• lone it would be impossible to obtain
an even mixture, for sometimes the
mixtures will run good stuek for a
week and then next week, likely a>
not, it will be of an inferior grade.
