Hall Martin, of Mount Paran, one young an ap- No remedy ever yet discovered has rfiet with such popular favor as S. S. S. The people everywhere indorse it, and there are few homes where S. S. S. for the blood is not known and used. It is superior in many ways to the ordi nary blood medicines. In the first place S. S. S. is a guaranteed purely vegetable compound, made exclusively of medicinal roots selected for their wonderful purifying and tonic properties that act upon the blood, purging it of impurities and restoring it to a healthy, natural condition. At the same time, under its tonic effects the gen eral system improves, the sluggish organs are toned up, and renewed strength and vigor and better health is the result. No bad after-effects follow the use of S. S. S., as so often happens with blood medicines i containing strong minerals, which derange the stomach and digestion < and in other ways damage the system. For diseases of the blood, l/ such as Chronic Sores, Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, Boils and Pirn- f always KEEPS s. s. s. on hand. P' 06 ’, ® c ? e m Tetter, Blood Poisons, and other troubles due to impure or bad condition of the blood, no remedy acts so promptly and thoroughly as S. S. S. It reaches deep-seated, long-standing cases, upon which the ordinary potash and sarsaparilla compounds have no effect. Even where there is an hereditary predisposition to disease, S. S. S will search out and remove from the blood the fixed poison and build up the health; it enriches and purifies weak, thin blood and stim ulates the circulation. Pure blood is essential to health. You can exist without good blood, but can never be robust and strong; for every jorgan, tissue and nerve in the body looks to the blood for nourishment, and unless this vital fluid is kept in a pure, healthy state, the rest of the body suffers and the system soon breaks down. Nature has pro vided in S. S. S. a remedy for diseases of the blood which long experience and a thorough test have proven superior to all others, and the acknowledged “ King of Blood Purifiers.” OUR MEDICAL DEPARTMENT, in charge of graduated physicians, is an important part of our business, maintained for the benefit of those who need advice or special information in regard to their case. Write US, and our physicians will advise you without charge. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA. ALWAYS KEEPS S. 8. S. ON HAND. Monticello, Ark., May 21,1903. Gentlamen:—For aoout twelve years I have been using 1 your S. S. S. as a household remedy. I have taken it as a tonic and appetiser, and be lieve there is none better.

GEORGIA JUDGE WAS ALARMINGLY AFFLICTED WITH CATARRH OF THE LUNGS. CURED BY PE-RU-NA. u"L_j;:LJi R rnyrr Mil rrrn JUDGE DURHAM, OP GREENSBORO, GEORGIA. Catarrh of the Lungs the First Stage* of Consumption. So All Medical Authorities Agree. Judge Durham, a well-known local Jndgoof Greensboro, Ga., had an expe rience with Peruna well worth reciting. A report had become current among the Judge’s friends that ho was threatened With consumption. It was feared for a time that Georgia was to lose one of its most prominent and influential citizens. It was also reported that the judge had failed to pet any relief from any of tho medical aid at his command, that he had made use of tho now world famous remedy, Peruna, and made a prompt re covery. The affair created quite a sensa tion in medical circles especially, and tho many friends of Judge Durham were notonly exceedingly gratified at his re covery, but were enthusiastic in their praises of tho remedy that had brought him relief. Tho following written statement from the judge himself set forth the facts: Greensboro, Ga., March 3, 1900. “ Some time ago I contracted a severe cold which settled on my lungs and In my head. / tried many remedies, all of which gave me no relief. I con cluded that my case was catarrh of the head and lungs, and seeing Peruna so highly recommended 1 began using It, experiencing the very best results from the first bottle. /\ i Hi I Tn H" r HTT “/ continued using Peruna for a short while, and have never felt the least symptoms of catarrh since. Pe runa Is certainly a good medicine, ana deserves the highest praise which Is given it by the general public. ” Judge Durham has been Secretary and Treasurer of the city of Greensboro, Ga., for the past three years, and has been a local judge for ten years. Dread Consumption. There are three roads which lead from health to consumption. Over one of these roads pass all of that great multi tude of people who die every year of consumption. EacU route begins with health and happiness and ends with dis ease and death. First road: a slight cold—neglected— settles in tho head or throat—chronic catarrh—extends to the lungs—consump tion—death. Second road: a slight cold—neglected cough—settles in the lungs—cough grad ually growing worse—consumption — death. Third road: a cold—neglected—settler in the throat—hoarseness—short breath —consumption—death. Thousands have just started on one of these roads, all of whom could be easily cured by Peruna. Thousands more are half way to the fatal end of one of these roads who are still curable by a course of treatment by Peruna. Yet other thousands are near the end whose last days could be made bearable and hope of recovery more probable by commenc ing Peruna without delay. A reward of $10,000 has been deposited in the Market Exchange Bank, Colum bus, Ohio, as a guarantee that the above testimonial is genuine ; that we hold in our possession authentic letters certifying to the same. Every one of our tes timonials are genuine and in the words of the one whose name is appended. Freight Train Jumped the Track. Yesterday as a freight train en tered the city, a box car loaded with : fertilizer jumped the track between Buford and Meadow streets and tore up the track and crossties for several hundred feet and wrenched one of the trucks from under the car. Aside from the derailed car and the damage to the track little loss was sustained. Trains were not delayed any consid- 5 enable time. Lawton Alexander Dead. Lawton Alexander, a son of Mr. Summie Alexander, of Love Springs, died at the home of his father on Monday the 21st inst, at 11 o’clock. Lawton was a bright and promis ing young man, about nineteen years of age, and was night operator for the Southern at Blacksburg at the time he was taken sick. The remains were interred in the cemetery at Shelby, N. C\, Tuesday. A Card of Thanks.
