t'-T'-i 1 ' i THE LEDGER: GAFFNEY, S. AITGUST iO. 1897. Patchwork! One of the tr.ost encouraging fentures of a cure m:ule by S.S.S.(Swift’s bpecific) is its permanency. Of all diseases, it is well known that those of the blood are the most obstinate, and therefore the most difficult to cure. The medical profession, in fact, have virtually ad mitted that a real, deepseated blood disease is beyond their skill. Of course, their admission is not made in so many words, but actions speak louder than words, and their inability to cure, after months and often years of treatment, is sufficient evidence that dis eases of the blood cannot be cured by doctors. Their mercurial mixtures, al though taken faithfully, only cover up the symptoms of the disease, inducing the patient to feel that he is being cured; but when he is sooner or later seized with stiff joints, pain in the bones, etc., the evidence of the doctor’s patchwork is conclusive. Such results cannot be ex pected from the use of S. S. S. Being purely vegetable, containing no harm ful mineral ingredients, it is the only blood remedy which acts on the true principle of forcing the disease from the system, building up rather than tearing down the health. No loss of hair, no stiff joints, no decrepit mercu rial wrecks result from the use of S.S.S. CONGLOMERATED CHEROKEE ITEMS OF INTEREST TERSELY TOLD. The News from Town and Conntry Boiled Down for the Special Benefit of Busy Led ger Readers. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. People You H. L. MYERS. Mr. II. L. Myers,of 100 Mulberry street, Newark, N.J., made the mistake of re lying upou remedies based upon mineral ingredients, and for the hundreds of dollars which he invested received only disappointment in return. He says : * 4 I was aillieted with a terrible blood disease, which was in spots at first, hut afterwards spread all over my body. These soon broke out into sores, and it j is easy to imagine the suffering I en dured. “Before I became com iced that the doctors could do no goo ’ I had spent a hundred dollars, which was really thrown away. I then tried vari ous patent medicines, hut they did not reach the disease. When I had finished my first bottle of S.S.S., I was greatly improved and was delighted with the result. The large red splotches on my /hest began to grow paler and smaller, ✓A'ld before long disappeared entirely. 1 regained my lost weight, became strong er, and my appetite greatly improved. 1 was soon entirely well, and my skin as clear as a piece of glass.” S.S.S. is a sure cure for all mannei of blood diseases, and disappointment never results from its use. It is Purely Vegetable;: and one thousand dollars will be paid for proof that it contains a particle of mercury, potash.or other mineral. S.S.S. is sold by all druggists. Valuable books on blood and skin dis eases will he mailed free to all who ad dress Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga. Who of our people will open up the 1 fine marble quarries in GalTn^y.

I* • DceWtlo:) of the Supreme Court Death liloir to Irrigation. A decision has been handed down by the supreme court of Nebraska that is considered by Senator Akers a death blow to irrigation in that state.

It is impossible to get water from any stream where there are owners of riparian rights who object.’’ The concluding paragraph in the court's opinion says: “The provision of the irrigation law of IS SO and the act of 18&:* amendatory thereof, abol ishing riparian riphts in all streams over 20 feet in width, is a clear inva sion of private property, and within tlie prohibitive feature of the constitu tion.” To Benefit Others.
