BLOOD POISON
The black flag is an emblem of horror and dread. When it is hoisted
an army, the order has gone forth that “no quarter ” will be given, ev-
srything 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
kle. It is narespecter 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,
sod 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 and eyebrows come sut, 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
ing insanity and death. Not only
those who contract the poison suffer,
but unless the virus is driven from
(he blood the awful taint is handed
down to offspring, and they are its
htnoceet 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
but eats out the delicate lining of the
stomach and bowels, produoes chronic dyspepsia, loosens the teeth and fre
quently causes mercurial rheumatism to add to the patient’s suffering.
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. S. does not hide or cover up anything
hut clears the entire circulation of the
virus and puts tSie system in good
healthy condition. It cures safely as
well as certainly, because there is not a
A A Hfednw a particle of mineral in it. We offer a re-
B w W ward of $1,000.00 for proof that S. S. S.
piipr I V VPPFTARI F * s not P ure b' vegetable. When the blood
ftuulMDLu. j g purified and strengthened with this
great remedy the symptoms all pass away and no sign of the disease is ever
seen again ; nor is there left the least trace to be handed down to posterity.

Will Dispose of the Following Judgments:
Several ye&ra ago I bad blood poiaon
and my fiesb was in an awful condition.
Great sores would break out and noth'
ing I 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 ao 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 1 am a
strong, well man. It got all the mer
cury out of my system and it cured me
sound and well. ADAM SCHNABEL,

Negro Employee Shoots Farmer.
Americus, Ga., March 14.—Jared Da
vis, a prominent planter ; here, was
shot down in the field by Jonah Hicks
a negro employee, and his condition
is regarded serious. Hicks came to
the field armed with a pistol, contra
ry to plantation rule* and when Da
vis reprimanded him therefor, and de
manded the pistol, Hicks shot him
through the abdomen. Hicks imme
diately fled from the scene and soon
a posse was in pursuit. Fearing cap
ture and summary execution, Hicks
came to Americus and surrendered,
and was promptly jailed. The shoot
ing of Davis aroused great indignation.
Brock Placed on Trial.
Philadelphia, March 14.—George P.
Brock, former cashier of the Doyles-
town, Pa., national bank, which failed
some time ago, was placed on trial
Wednesday before Judge McPherson
in the United States district court,

mis-application of the funds of the fn
stitution. Brock and Henry Lear,

shortly after its failure. The latter,
after three trials, was found guilty,

DRANK POISON ON STAQB.
But the Show Did Not Stop On Ac
count of Deed.
Washington, March 14.—William
Thomas, of Saginaw, Mich., a membei
of the chorus of “The Wonderland'
company performing at the Columbia
theater here, committed suicide by
drinking carbolic acid while the play
was in progress. Thomas was an ad
mirer of Ida Gordon, a 16-year-old girl
also a member of the company’, and
who is said to live in New York. The
suicide was caused by disappointment
because she would not reciprocate
his attentions. After the show was
over Miss Gordon went to the hospita’
to which Thomas had been removed
and, on seeing his body, said:
“I did not know he thought so mueft
of me. I did not mean to break his
heart. He misjudged me.”
Thomas was 22 years old. The
couple were in the property room ol
the theater at 8:45. Thomas had
sat with a goblet in one hand and a
bottle in the other. Pouring out the
poison he accused her of playing with
his affections and saying, “Goodby, old
girl,” drank the poison before she
could stop him. The play continued
uninterruptedly, the audience not be
mg aware of what had transpired.

Lumber Dealers in Session.
Jackson, Miss., March 14.—The re
tail lumber dealer* of Ixmisiana and |
Mississippi are holding their annual i
convention here, 150 delegates being
present. Oae of the first resolutions
adopted was to exclude all newspaper
men from the hall, and, in view’ oi
the fact that the legislature recently
declared the organization a trust, this
is taken to mean the public is not to
be advfbed of action taken by the
convention. The lumber men deny,
however, being in a trust.
