(New York Sun.) It was proved by Peary, in his long journey westward, along the coast of Greenland last spring, that the Paleo- crystic Sea does not exist. It was thirty years ago that the world first heard of it. When Nares sailed up i through the Smith Sound Channels to j the Acrtic Ocean he saw, instead of | the open sea that Kane had reported, an ocean blanketed with floe ice deep ly covered with snow. Hising here and there above the general level were huge masses of Ice, not all like the Greenland Icebergs with sharp points and irregular domes, but pre senting vertical walls and flat upper surfaces like the enormous cubic blocks of ice that are in Antarctic wa ters. Nares, therefore, changed the name of this part of the Arctic Ocean from the Open Sea to the Paleocrystic Sea, or in other words, the sea of ancient ice. Greely found later that w r hile th« pack ice rarely exceeds seven or eight feet in thickness many of tluse erratic blocks were from ninety to nine hundred feet thick. Greely also discovered that these masses were not composed of frozen sea water, but that they originated on the land. The theory was adduc ed that they were formed on com paratively level plains and were push ed forward into the sea and set adrift as ice rafts. For many years there was much speculation as to their place of origin and their distribution over this part of the Arctic Ocean. Peary has now shown that, the place of origin of these prodigious, flat-topped masses of ice is not far to se(>k. As he went westward on his journey to complete the survey of the Grant Land coast he discovered that to the west of Cape Hecla all the shores are covered with a continu ous glacial mass having a width of from one to fifteen miles. This ex tensive ice formation has no enor mous elevation, hut every headland is buried under it and all the bays are filled with it: and from its outer edge in summer huge fields of ice break off. forming the so-called paleocrystic floes. As the current is to the east they are floated away to the Lincoln Sea, where Nares and Greely saw such numbers of them. Peary’s discovery increases the probability that, as has been conject ured. the higher masses of this gla- eial ice are formed by enormous ice pressure which crushes some of the blocks together and forces them un der the mass. At any rate they are not of ancient, origin, and the name Paleocrystic Sea is a misnomer. THE KING OF BLOOD PURIFIERS SWIFT'S SPECIFIC, the great BLOQQ PURIFIER ru- k* - T Gentlemen:—S. S. S. is used as a family medicine in our home. I myself have taken and always found it what It Is claimed to be. It thoroughly cleanses the system of Im purities, increases the appetite, improves the digestion, and builds up the general health. I have given it to my ohiklren with fine results. It promptly restores the apps- tite and clears the skin of all eruptions. It is a very 6na blood tonic and has my hearty endorsement. 124 S. 0th St., Lebanon, Pa. P. H. THOMPSON White House Messages. (I’hiladt ?lphia L* ■dger.) Mr. Loeb came into the executive office with a handful of messages ready for signature. “Lot me r^ac 1 them.” said the nre- sident. . adding 1 iis name to each ; ifter he ha< 1 glanced at it. “Ah, , a fine lot,” he > ejaculn ted; “don’t von thin!

Can ’t afford to have cri rs No other remedy has given such perfect satisfaction as a blood purifier and tonic or is so reliable in the cure of blood dis eases of every character as S. S. S. It is known as “The King of Blood Purifiers,” and the secret of its success and its right to this title is because “IT CURES DISEASE.” It is an honest medicine, made entirely of purifying, healing roots, herbs and barks, which are acknowledged to be specifics for diseases arising from an impure or poisoned condition of the blood and possessing tonic properties that act gently and admirably in the up-building of a run down, weakened or disordered condition of the system. One of the greatest points in favor of S. S. S. is that it is the only blood remedy on the market which does not contain a mineral ingredient of some kind to derange or damage the system. It is the one medicine that can be taken with absolute safety by the youngest child or the oldest member of the family, and persons who have allowed their systems to get in such condition that most medicines are repulsive to the stomach will find that S. S. S., while thorough, is gentle and pleasant in its action, and has none of the nauseating effect! of the different mineral mixtures and concoctions offered as blood purifiers. As every part of the body is dependent on the blood for nourishment and strength, it is necessary that this vital fluid be kept free from germs and poisons. So long as it remains uncontaminated we are fortified against dis ease, and health is assured; but any impurity, humor or poison acts injuriously on the sys tem and affects the general health. Pus tular eruptions, pimples, rashes and the different skin affections show that the blood is in a feverish and diseased condition as a result of too much acid or the presence of some irritating humor. Sores and Ulcers are the result of morbid, unhealthy matter in tht blood, and Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison etc., are all deep-seated blood disorders that continue to grow worse as long as the poison remains. But all blood diseases are not acquired; some persons are born with an hereditary taint in the blood and we see this great affliction manifested in many ways. The skin has a waxy, pallid appearance, the eyes are often weak, glands of the neck enlarged, and as tha taint has been in the blood since birth the entire health is usually affected. In all blood troubles S. S. S. has proved itself a perfect remedy and has well earned the title of “KING OF BLOOD PURIFIERS.” It goes down into the circulation and removes all poisons, humors, waste or foreign matter, and makes this stream of life pure and health- sustaining. Nothing reaches inherited blood troubles like S. S. S.; it removes every particle of the taint, purities and strengthens the weak, deteriorated blood, and supplies it with the healthful properties it needs and establishes the foundation for good health. As a tonic this great medicine lias no equal, and it will be found especially bracing to weak, anaemic persons. Rheumatism, Catarrh, Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison and all other blood troubles are cured perma nently by S. S. S., and so thorough is the cleansing of the blood that no trace of the dis ease is left to break out in future years or to be transmitted to offspring. If you are in need of a blood purifier get “THE KING” of them all, S. S. S.—and good results are assured. Book on the blood and any medical advice desired furnished without charge to all who write.
