Scrofula Is a ilt:ep-seatc<l Mood disease which all the mineral mixtures in the world cannot cure. S.S.S. (guaranteedpurely vegetable ) is a real blood remedy for blood diseases and has no equal. Mrs. Y. T. buck, of Delancy, Ark., had Scrofula for twenty-five years and most of the time was under the care of the doctors who could not relieve her. A t specialist said he could cure her, but he filled her with arsenic and potash which almost ruined her constitution. She .j. then took nearly js/ every so-called blood medicine and drank jA them bv the wholesale, ^Sbut they did not reach g?her trouble. Some ?' one advised her to try S.S.S. and she very soon found that she had a real blood remedy at last. She says: "After taking one dozen bottles of S.S.S. I am perfectly well, my skin is clear and healthy and I would not be in my former condition for two thousand uuuurs. insitruu ui urymg upmcpoison in my system, like the potash and arsenic, S.S.S. drove the disease out through the skin, and I was permanently rid of it." A Real Blood Remedy* S.S.S. never fails to cure Scrofula, Eczema, Rheumatism Contagious Blood Poison, or any disorder of the blood. Do not rely upon a simple tonic to cure a deep-seated blood disease, but take a real blood remedy. Our books UK lUvVL. ItV SOF.ON ||. UK VAN.

That, for the protection of self, we must be what we are not. Ila, ha, it makes me laugh ! I admit it is not always wise to put our feelings on street parade, but we can lie what we are, instead of what we are not, and still retain the respect of every one. I can but laugh some times when I see a dame or a damsel, a sire or a son, whipping the devil around the stump, when they ought to em brace him openly and above board. It amounts to the same tiling. So in the beginning of this new year let us resolve to be what we are, and no longer live what we are not. A Cure for Small-Pox. Mr. I). Keeves, who has been | with Kccles *V Bryan since '71, hands the Observer a clipping which he culled from a newspa per some twelve years ago. He believes in the recipe and as small pyx talk is in the country now, the Observer produces it for what it is worth. A correspondent of the Liverpool Mercury writes to that journal as follows : "1 am willing to risk my reputation as a public man, if the worst case ot small tWlV (VI 11 VI f 11 1 o niVniH llil It' <?tt l*<ol i?? three days, simply with cream oltartar.

Th?fw- /} m 1 ^aCvmsxT \ About Sinall-l'ox. It is not known where small ' |?ox originated, but it is said to | have existed in China many eon 11uries before Christ. It prevailed in the sixth eenturv and was wide , spread at t he time of t he Crusades. It was brought to America by the Spaniards early in the sixteenth j century. Inoculation was introduced in Kurope bv Ladv Mary Wort ley Montairu in I 7 I and vaccination was liscovorod* I?y .burner in I 70S. Small pox is oneol the most eon (anions diseases; persons exposed .ire almost invariably attacked, tiionjrli a lew per-ons seem to be in meoptilile to the disease. All ii^'is are subject Jo it. but it is particularly lata! to children. \n ?)11: ; bori in d r - mail pox is terribly fatal. When the disease was tirst introduced into America the Mexicans died by thousands, and the North American Indians have frequently been dicimated by the plague. The negro is especially susceptible, and the mortality is greater ?about 42 percent in the black, against 2b per cent in the white race. The disease is not believed to be contagious until the eruption develops. The poison clings tenaciously to every thing it touches. One of the worst epidemics in modern times was in Montreal in 1885. It was carried there from Chicago by a Pullman-car conductor, and in nine months 3,1 fi4 persons died of the disease in the city. The people were largely unprotected, as many of the French Canadians were opposed to vaccination. Virus from an eruptive disease of the cow and inoculated into man produce* a local pock with consuiuiionat <tisturhances, which affords protection, more or loss permanent, against the small pox. The vaccine is taken either directly from the calf, or from poisons vaccinated. The duration of the immunity is extremely variable. In some instances it is permanent, but a majority of persons become again susceptible to the disease within ten or twelve years, though the disease is usually milder and the mortality much less. This mild form is called varioloid. The mortality in persons who have been vaccinated is lrom iG to 8 per cent, whereas in the j unvaccinated it is at least 85 per cent. Statistics of 5,000 cases give, with good marks. 8 percent; with fuirmnrks, 11 percent; with poor marks. *27 per cent ; postvaccinal cases, 10 per cent ; unvaceinated cases, 58 per cent.

The bladder was created for one purpose, namely, a receptacle for the urine, and as such it is . * i:. it ^ c ? urn niiui?" 10 any 11>i'111 <?i disease except l>y one of two ways. The !ir*t way is from imperfect action of the kidneys. The second way i- from careless local treatment of other diseases. <1111:1' < U NI:. I nhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys isthechiel cause jot bladder troubles. So the womb, like the bladder, was created for one purpose, and if not doctored too much is not liable to weakness or disease, except in rare cases. It is situated back of and very close to the bladder, therefore any pain or inconvenience manifested in the kidneys, back, bladder or urinary passage is often, by mistake, attributed to female weakness or womb trouble of some sort. The error is easily made and may be as easily avoided. To find out correctly, sot your urine aside for twenty ; four hours ; a sediment or settling ; indicates kidney or bladder trouble.
