T t b. BLOOD POISON ^9^ The black flag is an emblem of horror and dread. When it is hoisted by an army, the order has gone forth that “ no quarter ” will be given, ev erything must be destroyed. Helpless women and children, as well as oppos ing soldiers, meet the same fate, and a trail of desolation, suffering and death is left behind. Contagious Blood Poison is the black flag of the great army of disease. This vile disorder is known as the blackest and most hide ous of all human afflictions, overthrowing its victims and crushing out the life. It is no respecter of persons; no matter how pure the blood may be or how innocently the disease is contracted, when this awful virus enters the circulation the hideous, hateful and humiliating symptoms begin to appear, and the sufferer feels that his very presence is polluting and contaminating. Usually the first sign of the disease is a little sore or ulcer, but as the blood becomes more deeply poisoned the severer symptoms are manifested, the mouth and throat ulcerate, the glands in the groins swell, a red rash breaks out on the body, the hair "nd eyebrows come ®ut, and often the body is cov ered with copper-colored spots, pustular eruptions and sores. In its worst stages the disease affects the nerves, attacks the bones and sometimes causes tumors to form on the brain, produc- • • .• • .

Not only thoso'who contract the poison suffer, but unless the virus is driven from the blood the awful taint is handed down to offspring, and they are its innocent victims. Blood Poison is in deed a “black flag.” Mercury and Potash, so often used, never can cure the trouble. These minerals merely drive the symptoms away for awhile and shut the disease up in the system, and when they are left off it returns worse than before. This treatment not only fails to cure blood poison p° and my flesh was in an awful condition. Great sores would break out and noth ing-1 put on them would do any good. My hair and eyebrows fell out and I was “a fright.” My mouth was so sore I had to live on milk and water. I took Mercury for a long time and instead of getting better I continued to grow worse and my arms and hands became solid sores. My legs were drawn so I could not walk and I felt that my time was short here if I did not get some re lief. I began to use your S. S. S. and it helped me from the start. After taking it awhile the sores all healed, my rheu matism was cured and to-day I am a strong, well man. It got all the mer cury out of my system and it cured me sound and well.

S. S. S., the great vegetable medicine, is the conqueror of this vile disease. It goes down to the very root of the trouble and cures by cleansing the blood of every particle of the poison. S. S.

Jan. 3.—The contro- I vers-y between the city of Knoxville, I Term , ad its water company as to the ' right of the city to establish its own j waterworks has been decided by the ■preme court of the United States in favor of the city The opinion was delivered by Jus tice Harlan. This action originated in an effort by the water company to se cure an Injunction prohibiting the city His of Knoxville from constructing water works of its own under an act passed by the Tennessee legislature In 1903, authorizing such action on the part of the city. The city was based on the claim that the water company’s rights were being violated, the company elaimina the exclusive privilege of supplying wa. ter to the city until under a con tract made in 1883. Hence the claim was set up that Tennessee state stat ute was a violation of the clause in the constitution rrohiibting the taking of property without due process of law and protecting contracts. The circuit court dismissed the bill and that de cision was affirmed. ♦ FLEET LEAVES CHARLESTON. REMAINS WILL BE EXHUMED. PURELY VEGETABLE.
