The Seat of Life Is in the nervous system, the most delicate and important part of the whole body. When the nerves become weakened or diseased, the head aches, the circulation is retarded and the digestion is deranged. Little things irritate the temper and worry the mind, which only aggravates the disease until the whole sys tem breaks down, and nervous prostration is followed by insanity or death. Strengthen and build up the nerves and stop this downward course before it is too late. “My wife had a serious nervous affection which troubled her for a long time. Her arms &nd legs would get numb and a peculiar stinging sensation would appear in her hands ana fingers. She worried a great deal, as nothing the doctors gave seemed to do her any good. But the first few doses of Dr. Miles’ Nervine brought relief; and in a few weeks she was as well and strong as ever.” J. H. Ritchie, Cherry vale, Kans. Dr. Miles' Nervine strengthens the weakened nerves, rests ttie tired brain, gives zest to the appetite and puts new vim and vigor into the whole system.

Says a Rock Hill special of Satur day to the Charlotte Observer: A bad accident occurred this afternoon at about 4 ::i0 on the South Carolina and Georgia Extension railroad at Catawba. Mr. Ernest L. Adams, formerly of this place, was riding on the cow-catcher of the freight engine, when lie slipped in some way and was instantly killed. The pony trucks and driving wheels passed over his body and his mangled form, lifeless, was drawn from under the engine. This death is a particularly sad one. It has been less than three weeks since Mr. Adams was happily married to Miss Lillian Starr, of Blacksbnrg. He was 27 years old, weighed 175 pounds, and was a very picture of health. He leaves a young wife, a widowed mother and three sisters. Mr. Adams was second ser geant in company C, of the First South Carolina Volunteers, in the Spanish-American war. He was a splendid young man and the sympa thy of the entire community goes out to his family, so sadly bereaved. His body, crushed and mangled, was brought to Rock Hill on a special train at about 7:30 p.m. His wife will come via. Charlotte tonight and the body will bo interred tomorrow.

In onr last issue, Friday, we pub lished a request for a few copies of The Ledger of Nov. 18th. Friday af ternoon we received three or four copies in response to that request; on Saturday several more were brought in, and up to today (Tues day) we have been presented with eleven copies of that date. This is proof conclusive that peo ple read the advertisements in The Ledger, no matter how small they may be. iS JP**Cannot^ be Cut Out or MW ^mmM M Removed with Plasters Surgical operations and flesh destroying plasters are useless, painful and dangerous, and besides, never cure Cancer. No matter how often a cancerous sore is removed, another conies at or near the same point, and always in a worse form. Does not this nrove conclusively that Cancer is a blood disease, and that it is folly to attempt to cure this deep-seated, dangerous blood trouble by cutting or burning out the sore, which, after all, is only an outward sign of the disease—a place of exit for the poison ? Cancer runs in families through many genermtiona, and those whose ancestors have been afflicted with it are liable at any time to lie stneken with the deadly malady. Only Blood Diseases can be Transmitted from One Generation to Another —further proof that Cancer is a disease of the blood. 1 o cuie a blood disease like this you must cure the entire blood svatem—remove every trace of the poison. Nothing cures Cancer effectually and permanently but S. S. S. S. S. S. enters the circulation, searches out and removes all taint, and stops the formation of cancerous cells. No mere tonic or ordinary blood medicine can do this. S. S. S. goes down to the very roots of the disease, and forces out the deadly poison allowing the sore tt> heal naturally and permanently. S. S. S. at the same time purifies the blood and builds up the general health. A little pimple, a harmless looking wart or mole, a lump in the breast, a cut or bruise that refuses to heal under ordinary treatment, should all be looked upon with suspicion, as this is often the beginning of a bail form of cancer. ° Mrs. Sarah M. Ketalinfr, 941 Windsor Ave.. Bristol, Teun., writes: “I am 41 years old. and for three years had suffered with a severe form of Cancer on my >aw, which the doctor* in this city *aid was incurable and that I could not live more than six months 1 accepted their statement as true, and had given up all hope of ever being wella or imormatiou . , - ... - - . again, when my drug- f 'lst, knowing of my condition, recommended S. S. S. After taking a few Kittle* the sore began to heal, much to the surprise of the physicians and in a short time made a complete cure. I have gained in flesh, my appetite is splendid, sleep is refreshing —in fact, am enjoying perfect health.' 1 Our medical department is in charge of physicians of long experience, who are especially skilled in treating Cancer and other blood diseases.
