I V- RAW AS BEEF "t A GODLY WOMAN GONE TO HER GOD. FROM ECZEMA! No Torture Equal to the Itching and Burning ot This Fearful Disease. Not much attention it often paid to the first symptoms of Eczema, but it is not long before the little redness begins to itch and burn. This is but the beginning, and will lead to suffering and torture almost unen durable. It is a common mistake to regard a roughness and redness of the as merely a local irritation ; it is but an indica tion of a humor in the blood—of terrible Eczema—which is more than skin-deep, and can not be reached by loeal appli cations of ointments, salves, etc., applied to the surface. The disease itself, the real cause of the trouble, is in the Hood, although all suffering is produced through the skin; the only way to reach the disease, therefore, is through the blood. Mr. Phil T. Jones, of Mixcrsville, Ind., writes: “I had Eczema thirty years, and after a great deal of treatment my leg was ho raw and sore that it gave me constant pain. It finally broke into a running sore, and began to spread and grow worse. For the past five or six years I have suffered untold agony and had given up all hope of ever being free from the disease, as I have been treated by some of the best physicians and have taken many blood medicines, all in vain. With little faith left I began to take S. S. S., and it apparently made the Eczema worse, but I knew that this was the way the remedy got rid of the poison. Continuing 8. 8. S., the sore healed up entirely, the skin became clear and smooth, and I was cured perfectly.” Eczema is an obstinate disease and can not be cured by a remedy which ia only a tonic. Swift’s Specific— S. S. S. FOR THE BLOOD —is superior to other blood remedies because it cures diseases which they oan not reach. It goes to the bottom—to the cause of the disease—and will cura the worst case of Eczema, no matter what other treatment has failed. It is the only blood remedy guaranteed to be free from potash, mercury or any other mineral, and never fails to cure Eczema, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison, Cancer, Tetter, Rheumat ism. Open Sores, Ulcers, Boils, etc. Insist upon S. S. S.; nothing can take its place. * 9 Books on these diseases will be mailed free to any address by Swift Spe- ciric Company, Atlanta, Georgia. - w.

R, TOLLESON & CO., So!e Agents tor Gaffney, Tlie AiikcI of Death Casts .Gloom a of De spair Over Our Little City by Taking One of tho llriglitest and Purest of Our Christian Workers Loved by All. The orb of day war fast approaching tbe western horizon, the torrid heat was giving way to a pleasant breeze fromjtlie BlueKidge range, the birds of the air were flittering from bough to bough and from their tiny throats sweet melody issued, the tlowers and setirubbery were taking 011 a fresher hue, but Gaffney was shadowed with an inexpressible gloom on Tuesday afternoon when the announcement was made that Mrs. C. K. Robertson, tbe wife of Rev. C. K. Robertson, pastor of the Tresbyterian Church, was dead. The death angle thus cast a gloom of despair over our little city by summoning to her etirnal lu in t one of the puriest and best women this community has ever known. When the shades of evening had fallen the moon shown forth in all its splendor and u million stars seemed to twinkle at each other in approval of the calling home by the Father of one of bis grandest and noblest workers. The news fell like a thunderbolt upon the community. Only a very few of the intimate friends of the family was aware of her illness. Deceased wus sick but a few days. The day she was taken ill she was out on a mission of charitj. Thursday night Mrs. Robertson was at tlie home of her friends, Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Thompson, where she had been spending a few days with her daughter, Miss Eddie, while Mr. Robinson was conducting a meeting at Spartanburg. She was taken ill and her symtoms become so alarming that Mr. Robertson was notified, lie arrived Friday evening. Mrs. Robert son continued to grow worse and it was determined that an operation ! would have to be performed to relieve | her. Dr. Chas. Jefferies, the alien- i ding physical), culled in Dr. Ed. T. Nutt, Jr., of Spartanburg, and the op eration was performed by Dr. Nutt in tlie presi nee of Drs. Jefferies. Little-i John and Griffith. The patient seemed to stmd the operat on remarkably well and hopes were entertained of j her surviving hut about twelve hours later she began to grow weaker and the decline was gradual until the end came on Tuesday afternoon about 5 ; o’clock. The patient was perfectly 1 conscious of her condition and met i the inevitable fate that awaited tier with perfect resignation, dying as she j had lived, in the full promise of her ) Saviour. | Mrs. Robertson was a Mies Ligon. She wus from Montgomery, Ala., and was forty years of age. About live years ago deceased came to this city with her husband, who bad accepted pastorate of the Presbyterian church at tliis place. During her stay here she has done much good work for tlie Master’s cause. She was a most valu able assistant to her husband in the work of the church. Her sweet and amiable disposition had won for her a legion of warm friends. No woman in Gaffney did more charity work than ■he. Ever thoughtful of the poor and needy, she wus constantly denying herself of the comforts and pleasures of this life that she might minister to the wants of tho unfortu nate. Truly she was a Godly woman. And what she did was without pre- teuse of show. Simply and Christ- like she performed her Christian duties. Is there any wonder that she wus loved by all? During her illness everything was done that skilled physicians and loving friends could do for her relief. Not only was she loved by those of her own church but by all those of other churches who know her. Her mother, Mrs. Dillard, of Montgomery, Ala., arrived just before the end came. 'The remains were taken to Mont- gomey for interment Wednesday on the vestibule. The large concourse of friends that accompanied the re mains to the depot wus but a slight token of the esteem in which she was held. (’apt. Jas B. Bell accompanied the gr'n,f stricken mother, husband and daughter on their sad mission. In the death of Mrs. Robertson the world loses one of its most consecra ted Christian workers, Gaffney one of tier lust and moat loyal citizens, the Presbyterian church one of itsmo<t devout members, the husband a most valuable and loving help-mate, the daughter a tender, loving and devoted mother, and each and all of is a friend indeed. We all morn her de parture and accept the example she left uh tbe one that God himself would honor. May her reward be an elerinal peace in the mansion not made with hands.
