There is not the slightest doubt that the doctors do more harm than good in treating Contagious Blood Poison; many victims of this loathsome disease would be much better off to-day if they had never allowed them selves to lie dosed on mercury and potash, the only remedies which the doctors ever give for blood poison. The doctors are wholly unable to get rid of are in good health and doing good! work. J. M. Simpson, of Warwick, Geor gia, lias accepted a position in the office of the Carpet .Mill.

Mr. H. L. Myers, 100 Mulberry St., Newark, X. J., says: “I hud spent a hundred dollars with the doctors, when I realized that they could do me no good.
