This is perfectly natural, be cause their blood is not so vigorous, nor their powers of resistance so great, and troubles that a younger, healthy constitu tion could resist c f ten afflict them. Durinff the civil war I contracted Ca» tarrh and suffered with its effects for many years. I tried various remedies and doctors, but with no good result. One day I found one of your pamphlets and read it carefully. I decided S. 8. B. was the medicine I was in need of and I beg-an its use at once. My health was dreadful, and as I was getting along in years, I had most of the pains and ail. ments incident to that time of life; but after taking this great remedy for awhile I betran to improve and soon found my self a strong, well man. I am now more than 75 years of age, but my health is good, because I take an occasional bottle of 8 S. S. Nothing equals it as atonic ana blood purifier, and I recommend it to those needing such a medicine. Pordyce, Ark. L. S. LOOKRIDGE. Rheumatic pains, sleepless nights, ficlje appetites, etc., are not imaginary with old people, as is sometimes thought. They need a medicine that will supply their blood with its lost vigor and build up and strengthen their constitutions. S. S. S. is the ideal remedy for Old Peo ple. It is made entirely from roots, herbs and barks, and does not injure the system in the least as do those medicines containing mineral ingredients. S. S. S. is gentle in its actipu, purifying the blood of all poisons discomforts by WjP supplying a ro- '^nJSP r bust, healthy PURELY VEGETABLE. constitution. It is the greatest of all tonics for increasing the appetite, toning up the stomach, promoting the di gest ion and building up the entire system. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., Atlanta. Ga.

It was presented by the people of Irri- gou in token of the high esteem in' which Ging Is held and bore this in scription: “To Ging Yiek from his Ore gon friends, Aug. 5, 1005.’’ Ging Yiek has left us and gone to China, the laud of his birth, where a loving wife and family yearn for his coming.

Inevitable delays occur in such com* Npnndenee, but the response has boon in general so prompt and hearty as to indicate a strong interest in the move ment all over the country for a change of inauguration day. All the governors never posed for more than he was, but there is not a person in the state of Oregon who did his duty better, more honorably and honestly or in a pleas anter, gentler way than did Ging. The editor of the Irrigator is not a worshiper of the yellow man. He be lieves that for many reasons they will never, can never, assimilate with the great English speaking family. But we do believe in giving yellow men, brown or blaek men credit—full credit—when C.

He did it always cheerfully, always promptly, and he had the intuition to do the right thing at the right time.
