Death from poisined gas arising from the lungs was given as the cause. “Although all animation and res piration had ceased, his affianced wife. Miss Godfrey, ”’ould have it that he was not dead. She wept and moaned, took the death watch upon herself and would not leave the casket until it was placed on a marble slab next to the casket of his father and aunt in the family’s tightly closed vault. “For four months Mr. Harvey lay In the camp of his dead ancestors un til Miss Godfrey, crazed by the feel ing which grew upon her that her beloved was not dead, returned to Kansas City and begged especially wMth the family to accompany her to the vault. “The mother who was devoted to her son. eagerly accompanied her and the two went together to the family plot. Entering the vault for the first time since the burial, they stood as tounded at the door. The casket was open. Sinister fears crept over them. “That a tragedy had occurred neither doubted. But the puzzling question was. ‘Who had opened the casket?’ Trembling Miss Godfrey •approached it. to learn the worst. Astonished beyond expression, she found Mr. Harvey just as he was the day of the burial. The lips and An ger nails were still pink, the body was still limber, and there was not a sign of decay in the entire body. Later the fact developed that the undertaker understood that the pall bearers were to have put the lid on •and that the pallbearers thought the undertaker would attend to it. “Mrs. Harvey and Miss Godfrey had the body taken to the family home, where they visited it daily from May until September, wh%i Harvey came to life, and the wed ding followed.” CA1YI7 C iMMEFUsm 3 UK 113 TO HE A Lr There is no surer evidence of a poisonous, polluted condition of the blood than that 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 the ulcer is kept open by a constant drainage 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 become 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 uever shown any sign of trouble, a slight scratch or abrasion of * the skin or insignificant hurt of any character will become a sore that refuses to heal, and remains for years, eating into the surrounding flesh, resist ing treatment and sometimes terminating in Cancer. The poison in the blood may be the remains of some constitutional disease, the ef fects of a long spell of sickness leaving disease germs in the system, or the absorption of refuse matters of the body which have not been properly expelled through the channels of bodily •waste. But whatever the cause the vitality and pur ity of the blood is so weakened and polluted that it cannot properly nourish the system, and the sore or ulcer is kept up. Those most usually afflicted with chronic sores and ulcers are persons who have reached or passed middle life; the vitality of the blood and strength of the system have naturally 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 effectualiy 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 seat of the trouble. Such treatment keeps the place clean, relieves pain and pexhapa reduces tlie inflammation, and in this way is beneficial, but can never permanently hod them. The only treatment that can do any permanent good is a competent bleod purifier, 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. to any who are in need of a remedy for an old sore. In 1877 I had my leg badly cut by a barrel hoop and having on a blue woolen stocking my leg was badly poisoned from the dye. A great sore formed and for years no one knows what I suf fered with the place. Nothing would heal the ul cer and I thought I would have togo through life with a discharging, an gry sore on my leg. A short while ago I commenced to use S. S. S. and I soon saw that the place was im proving. I continued the use of it until my leg was entirely healed and I am now a well man. JNO. ELLIS. 250 Navy St., Brooklyn, N. Y. the itching was terrible. At first it discharged a watery fluid which changed to a thicker compo sition and the pain was very se- v ere. It was near ly as largo as a dollar and terri bly inflamed in all the surrounding parts. It had been there so long and growing worse all. the time, I became very much dis- eouragfd and alarmed. At last I be gan the use of S. S. S. At first the ulcer seemed to get worse, but soon I noted an improvement and contin ued its use until it was entirely cured. MRS. W. A. WRIGHT. Gary, Fla. PAY OF EUROPEAN STATESMEN. Denmark j s Stingiest of A|| Coun tries to Her Legislators. The Norweigan member of Parli ament. gets only thirteen shillings a day. ami if the hard worked legislator take^- a day off loses his pay. The same is the ease with members of the Swiss Diet. They are rewarded with sixteen shillings a day, on condition that they do not absent themselves from work. To go further east, we find that Roumania thinks her lawmakers worth Cl a day. Sixteen shillings a day is the salary of those who compose the Bul garian Sobranje, but members who live in the capital get only twelve shillings daily. Denmark is about the stingiest of all European countries, so far as re munerating her lawmakers is con cerned. Danish members of parlia ment get but six shillings eight pence per day; but. on the other hand, they have the odd privilege of a free seat in the royal theatre in Copenhagen. While the members of the German Reichstag are not salaried, yet the lawmakers of the various German States do not work for nothing. Saxe-Coburg members of parliament are paid thirteen shillings, of Bavaria ten and of Hesse nine. At first sight Hungary seems to do her lawmaking on the cheap plan, for her members get £200 a year in cash. But they are not so badly off. after all, for a liberal allowance is made into the bargain for house rent. AustriaHungary’s two legisla tive assemblies cost the country about £130,000 a year in all. Both in Aus tria and Hungary legislators can trav el first class with second class tick ets. Besides the United Kingdom, Italy and Spain are the only countries which pay nothing to their members of parliament. Nevertheless, the cost of the Italian parliament is estimated at 285,000 a year. In Portgual also the State does not remunerate legislators, but they re ceive free railway passes, and their constituents are legally permitted to pay those who represent them a_ sum of about fifteen shillings for each day of the session.
