ELLIOTT ESTES. Jr., General Agent Immense Sum Realized at Mass M There is no surer evidence of a poisonous, polluted condition of the blood than that ee ing. manifested by a sore that refuses to heal. Every symptom suggests pollution; the discharge, the red, angry flesh, the inflammation and discoloration of surrounding parts all show that subscriptions came in fast ] ^ u | cer j s k e pt open by a constant draiuage through it, of impurities from the blood. When the blood is pure and healthy any cut, bruise or wound will heal readily; when from any cause, however, the blood has Ixecome infected with germs or poisons the place becomes a sore or ulcer, sometimes scabbing over, but never fully healing, because it is kept irritated and inflamed by the impurities in this vital fluid. Often the rough handling of a wart, mole or pimple which has never shown any sign of trouble, a slight scratch or abrasion of the skin or insignificant hurt of any character will become a Great Throng Packed Grand Opera House—Eloquent Speeches Were Made, Which Were Enthusiastically Cheered by the Audk-nce. i>r. j. xi. nxnvTTici*, = =— Oi Rock Hill, South Carolina Atlanta, May 9.—With a magnifi cent outburst of the old-fashioned At lanta spirit, the 2,t>00 Atlantans who packed the Grand opera house Tues day night, went into their packets for the splendid sum of more than $52,000, put at rest forever the thought of in difference to the exposition of 1910, and sent out to the world the glad tidings that Atlanta, following in the footsteps of Chicago, Buffalo, St. Jxjuis and Portland, will open her gates in 1910 with the biggest exposition the south ha. 1 ever seen. The splendid meeting of Tuesday nighi proved the wisdom of its organ izers. The people, the real people of the city they all love so well, swarmed the big auditorium, and every seat on the ground floor held an interested lis tener to the patriotic speeches. The corridors behind the rear seats were filled and nu. .y were forced to go into the galleries. A number of la dies added brilliancy to the imposing spectacle, and as each speaker would make a catching point the applause which swept the audience actually Shook the rafters of the massive build ing. The crowd represented all phases of Atlanta's life. The capitalists aad the carpenter, the lawyer and the printer, the doctor, the preacher, the manufacturer, the merchant and the man from every walk and station clasped hands in the determination to make the movement a success. And the contributions came from all classes of people and in all amounts. Ten thousand dollars was the largest sum contributed, and this came from the Southern Bell Telephone compa ny. Five dollars was the smallest, and Joe Stewart, an employe of 1 opera house was the giver. The small contribution was received with ap plause as generous as the large one, as it represented an offering made in keeping with the ability of the donor. The result of the splendid meeting Tuesday night seems to insure the success of the exposition. It was thought by some of the committee of 25 that the slowness with which con tributions had been recently coming in, might possibly Indicate that the people of Atlanta did not want the ex position. This thought was the mo tive for calling the mass meeting. It was to see if the people did, or did not, want the exposition. Some of the committee have always contended that the question had only to be brought to the people in a direct man ner and that they would show in no uncertain way their approval of the movement. Others sincerely believed that in the midst of the prevailing general prosperity, the masses of the people were Indifferent, and that the movement had best be dropped at this time. The gentlemen who took the latter view were in no sense decrying the exposition, but interpreted the apparent lack of interest as direct op position. The movement lagged for a time. Then the suggestion to submit the matter to the people was made and adopted. The result of the refer- rendum has been told above. All doubt seems to have been removed by the enthusiastic revival of the old Atlanta spirit, and it is now believed that the exposition is a certainty. Sev eral members of the committee of 25 expressed themselves after the meet ing as being certain that the people of Atlanta wanted the exposition, and stated that they would at once bend every energy to complete the guaran tee fund, which they believe can be done in a short time. I want to recommend your S. S. S. to any who are in need of a remedy for an old core.

But whatever the cause the vitality and pur ity of the blfxxd is so weakened ' and polluted that it cannot properly nourish the system, and 1 Those most usually afflicted with chronic sores and ulcers or passed middle life; the vitality of the blood and strength begun to weaken and the poisons in the blood which perhaps have been inherited and lain dormant in the system for years cannot be as effectually held'in check as in early life when the system was strong and vigorous. While the old or middle-aged are the usual sufferers, the young are not exempt if the blood becomes infected with the germs. Salves, plasters, lotions, etc., cannot cure old sores and ulcers because they do not reach the neat of the trouble. Such treatment keeps the place clean, relieves pain and ' erhaps reduces the inflammation, and in this way is beneficial, but can never permanently heal them. The only treatment that can do any permanent good is a competent blood purfier, one that goes to the very root of the trouble and re moves the cause, and for this purpose nothing has ever been found to equal S. S. S. It goes down to the very fountain-head of tb* disease, drives out all poison and morbid matter, builds ^ ' up the weak, sluggish blood, gives energy and strength to the entire system, and allows the sore PURELY VEGETABLE to Da turally and permanently. S. S. S. is purely vegetable, being made oi roots, herbs and barks possessing cleansing, healing properties, and is not only the King of blood purifiers, but the greatest of all tonics. If you have a sore that is slow in healing do not waste time with external treatment nor experiment with unknown medicines, but begin the use of S. S- S. and by removing every vestige of the cause, cure the trouble permanently. Special book on sores and ulcers and any medical advice desired furnished without charge to all who write.
