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. Begin to-day to get new life.

Itmlceman AiIhiiih Killed.
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
