ROOSEVELT MOVED TO MERCY. CATARRH Severn! years ago my blood was bad and I had in addition a dreadful case of Catarrh. My nose was stopped up. I had headaches, ringing noises in my ears and felt unfit for work. I com menced the use of S. S. S. on the recom mendation of a friend, and in a short time it cured me sound and well. Itput my blood in good condition and I have never had the slightest return of the Catarrh since that time. GEO. D. CARR, No. 209 Edgar St. Evansville, Ind. DANGEROUS Catarrh is usually regarded as nothing more serious than a bad cold or •li*ht inflammation of the inner skin and tissues of the head and throat, when it is, in fact, not only a vexatious and troublesome disease, but a com plicated and dangerous one. It is true that Catarrh usually begins with a cold in the head, but when the poisons, which are thrown off through the secretions, find their way into the blood, it becomes a constitutional trouble thai'affects all parts of the body. It has more annoying and disgusting symp- tortb than any other disease. There is a sickening and offensive discharge frotp the nostrils, a constant buzzing noise in the ears, headaches and pains in the eyes are frequent, while filthy, tenacious matter drops back into the throat requiring continual hawking and spitting, and in certain stages of the disease the breath has an odor that is very offensive. Catarrh is worse in Winter, because the cold weather closes the pores and glands, and the pois ons and unhealthy vapors which should pass off that way are thrown back on the tender linings and tissues, causing the inflammation which starts the unhealthy secretions to be ab sorbed by the blood. When the blood .becomes diseased with this catarrhal matter all kinds of complications may 'be looked for. As the blood circu- jlates through the body the foul mat ter finds its way into the stomach, (ruining the digestion and producing (Chronic Dyspepsia, or Catarrh of the jptomach. It also affects the Kidneys, Bladder and other members of the body, while the general health is weak- S ied, appetite lost and the patient feels despondent and half sick all the time. ut worst of all, if the trouble is not checked the lungs become diseased from the constant passage of poisoned blood through them, and Catarrh terminates in Consumption, the most fatal of all diseases. You cannot get rid of Ca tarrh by treating it with sprays, washes, inhalations, etc., because they only reach the membranes and tissues, while the real cause of the trouble is in the blood. These relieve the annoying symptoms for a time, but the poison is all the while getting a stronger hold on the system and when they are left off will manifest itself in worse form than before. S. S. S. is the greatest of all blood purifiers, and when it has cleansed the blood, thimpure, rich stream circulates through the body, canying healthful properties to the diseased 'parts. Then the inflamed membranes and tissues begin to heal, the dis charges cease, the general condition of the system is strengthened, everyone of the annoying and disgusting symp toms pass away, and the patient is left in perfect health. S. S. S. is the best remedy for Catarrh. It goes right into the blood and removes all effete matter and catarrhal poison and cures the dis- |ease permanently, and at the same time builds up the entire system by its fine tonic eflect. S. S. S. is a purely vegetable remedy—non-injurious to the sys tem and a certain, reliable cure for Catarrh.

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA, Three Things to Consider In Buying a Stove or Range annoying- NEGRO ASSAULTS GIRL AND CUTS HER THROAT Found Lving In House In Pool Of Blood. ARMED POSSE IS IN PURSUIT PURELY VEGETABLE. Quality, Economy, Price. First—A Range or Stove that isn’t made of the very best material will soon crack —it no longer cooks well, your money was wasted and yoa are diss tisfied. Second—The Range or Stove that is built so that the heat escapes through un necessary apertures, consumes twice as much fuel as the one properly built, then your fuel bill is too heavy and you are uot satisfied. Third—Don’t yield to the common fallacy that the article sold for the fewest dollars is the cheapest. If a cooking apparatus isn’t built for a long life, it isn’t ! cheap at any price. Its not what you pav fo'- a thing that counts, its what you j^eHoi^om^uone^ Fourth—Our celebrated Leader Stoves and Matchless Ranges are especially st.ong on these points—in fact, all points pertaining to stove perfection—made of the best material, don’t crack, will cut your fuel bill to half, consequently the most economi- ; cal. They are worth every dollar you pay for one. It is quality that’s considered —not cheapness. Come let us sell you one, as the present price is a very small consideration, but they are sure to go higher, as you well know, everything is advancing. v Yours for business, Slmford & I^elVEasterr Hurniture, Stoves and Undertaking. Negro Escapes, But Party'of Enraged Citizens is Organized to Search for Him—Bloodhounds Are Put on the Trail. Atlanta, Jan. 31.—At noon Wednes day neither the city nor the county police nor tiie posse of armed men and dogs who hud set out Tuesday night on the a ail oi the negro assailant of Mrs. Nina May Dupree, on the Mc Donough road, had struck any trail. At 3 o’clock Wednesday morning Marshal Ryan, of Oakland City, who had got hold of bloodhounds from Fort McPiierson, told the family of W. H. Grogan, with whom the young woman was staying, that he had struck a trail near Lakewood. Since then nothing has been heard from him. Dr. Charles A. Henson, who is at- tendinig .Mrs. Dupree, said Wednesday that she would recover from the wound on her throat. She was cut in front of the throat a id the gash went to the windpipe, causing a painful wound. Mrs. Dupree, who is 19 years old, formerly lived in Tallassee, Ala., and her mother is Mrs Mattie Collum. Three years ago while an operative in the mills at t’olur.ibus, the girl mar ried Melton Dupree, one of the bosses. Subsequently they went to Texas and lived on a ranch, in August, 1904, the girl returned home, and learning later that the Grogans needed a housekeep er, she went to work for them four weeks ago. For the past two or three days the girl had he* n ill. Tuesday Mr. Gro- -a was in town on the jury, and Mrs. Grogan and her .daughter, Mrs J. F. Baggett, had also gone to town. About 1:30 o’clock neighbors saw Mrs. Dupree go to a mail box on the road. At 3 o’clock Grogan returned home, and found Mrs. Dupree lying on the dining room floor in a pool of blood. He thought she was dead. According to the story that Mrs. Dupree tells, she returned from the mall box to the house and started through the kitchen to the dining room to get some sugar. Just as she start ed into the dining room and stood on the threshold of the door, a negro sud denly appeared before her. Mrs. Dupree has no distinct recol lection of the appearance of the negro. He was tall and black, and she thinks he wore a dirty white shirt. She remembers that he dealt her a blow on the forehead, whether with his fist or something else, she does not remember. She fell and became unconscious. She doesn’t remember what she was cut with. She saw no knife in the negro’s hand, although she remembers a stinging sensation at her throat. County and city police and citizens, with dogs, soon got on the trail, and scoured the woods all night for the culprit. Tuesday night Mrs. Dupree thought that she was going to die, and she asked Rev. F. Daniel, of the Orchard Knob Baptist church, who had called, to pray for her. Shadow of the Stork Causes Presideni To Pardon Woman.
