Medicine did not help me any until a comrade who had been helped by I'c runa advised me to try it. I bought some at once, and soon found blessed relief.

The Innocent Suffer With The world to-day S3 full of innocent sufferers from that most loathsome disease, Contagious Blood Poison. People know in a general way that it is a bad disease, but if all its horrors could be brought before them they would 6hun it as they do the Leprosy. Net only the person who contracts it suffers, but the awful taint is transmitted to children, and the fearful cores and eruptions, weak eyes, Catarrh, and other evidences of poisoned blood show these little innocents are suffering the awful consequences of some body's sin. So highly contagious is this form of blood poison that one may be contaminated by handling the clothing or other articles in use by a person afflicted with this miserable disease. There is danger even in drink ing from the same vessel or eating out of the same tableware, as many pure and innocent men and women have found to their sorrow. The virus of Contagious Blood Poison is so iauI?iil,32?&t!S BLOOD POISON IS NO first 1 ittlc sore appears the whole Eft WfTJtCT RESPECTER OF PERSONS tainted with the poison, and the ekin is soon covered with u red rash, ulcers break out in the mouth and throat, swellings appear in the groins, the hair and eyebrows fall out, and unless the ravages of the disease are checked at this stage, more violent and dangerous symptoms appear in the fonn of deep and offcnslvn sores, copper colored splotches, terrible pains in bones and muscles, and general breaking down of the system. S. S. S. is a specific for Contagious Blood Poison and the only remedy that antidotes this peculiar virus and makes a radical and complete cure of the disease. Mercury and Potash hold it in check so long as the system is under their influence, but when the medicine is left off the poison breaks out again as bad or worse than ever. Besides, the use of these minerals bring on Rheumatism and stomach troubles of the worst kind, and frequently pro duce bleediug and sponginess of the gums and decay of the teeth. 8. S.

Hetty admitted this to herself, mid It wouldn't bo n bit hard to lovo him, but lloy was only a captain, nml nothing but n colonel wnnhl do.

The colonels are youngir over there," said Hetty to herself, "and they are nil of aristocratic family, and, oh well, Englishmen are Just too lovely for anything." The summer colony nt Lowlnnd fllon wan unusually large that season. Thoru wero bundles of swell doings, as the slangy Ynlo couimlu of Hetty would put It. The army oUlcers from Port Khennnn were much In evidence, mid one young captain In particular was very much in evidence In tho vicinity of Miss Hetty Itawllns. Hetty buw the evidence clearly, and how she did wish that tho priMldent would retire koiiiu few hundreds of superior oMcern ho that Itoy Lanyard could tack tho nln brovlatlon "CoL" to tho front purt of his name. Ono day there was oxcltemwit at Lowlund Glen. Jlrs. Calumet had In vited two Kngllshmen, one of them nu nrmy olllecr, to spend tho month with them nt their summer home. Tho news reached Hetty tho morning after the arrival of tho Calumet's two guests. Twenty young women had told her alwut It. Lot tho girl nlone for spreading nows of this kind. "And Hetty," ald ono of her Informant, "ono of tho KugllHhmni l r. colonel In his majesty's service, und young und good looking at that." Hetty's heart uvo a tkump.

Her heart fluttered a Ilttlo na tho younger of the two men tho other was old und out of tho rvjmlng was Introduced to her. Colonel Ueglnuld Bouthcoto was bis mimo.

Captain Itoy Lanyard looked on and was miserable. ' Betty gave him two I EPISODE daiicca and about three words during the entire week, "No show for ono of Uncb Hani' poor artillerymen when there's one of King Kdwnrd'a men with it drawl mid a monocle about," sighed poor Captain Itoy. Colonel iteglnald Bouthcote was not long In tliidlug out that Hetty Haw Htm had a pot of money mul that she ailored the military. Hetty naked hint one day what bin regiment was, mid lie replhd promptly: "I mu the colonel of tho lto)al Yorlckshlre Iteglliieiit," he said. Hetty had heard tales alnuit IluglUh men pretending to he whnt they were not, but tho colonel looked hoiivst enough, and the girl was half iiNhauiid of herself when she went to n library In the city mid took down it Hrltlsh military gusette from the shelf nml looktd for Itoynl Yorlckshlre Itegl incut. Nlie found It nit right, mid with tho name of Iteglunld Houthcoto sit down as colonel thereof. From that time Hetty was very cor dial to the colonel. Khe turned the converrntlun occasionally on the Hovr wnr, expivtlng to henr some deils of dating mmlestly told, hut tho eoloiiel was strniigely silent on the subject ot Held service, and Hetty put It down to n brave man's reticence wh.il It enmo to speaking of his own acts on the.

Kh filt n pang, buwever, every tlmo sh saw Captain Ijinyanl ami saw how miserable ho looked, though ho tried to put n brave face on the matter. II tho truth lx told, Hetty cried n llttlt In the prhacy of her room when slit looked at the glorious old ling llantlua In the sunshine nt the flagstaff peak In the fort beyond, and sighed nnS slglud ngnln. One day Lawyer Coke, who looked after Hetty Itawlln' estate, heard from n closo friend that a certain Eng lishman hsd been lniulrlug nlmut lift ty's flnaticlal stniidlng. "Fortune hunt cr If not a fraud," said old Coke t himself, and then, as tuck would havi It, he hnppemd to pick up n copy of the Ilroad Arrow, tho Jouninl of th united sitvIccs of (I rent Hrltnlu. Lawyer Coko looketl at It. Ilia eyn fell on n paragraph and he chuckled. Ho folded the paper up, put It In till pocket and took the first, train fot Lowland (Hen. Ho marked the para graph In the paper and put It where h know Hetty would bo Mire to pick It up, and from the nature of the publica tion he knew she would be sure to read It from start to llnlsh. Hetty Hawllns felt that the hour wns coming when she would have to nil awer n question put to her by Colonel Iteglnald Bouthcote. Bho was think. Ing of" this when she picked up the Hroad Arrow, Hhe knew whnt the paper wns, for she had heard of It. Bho read It eagerly. Tho date of tho paper was three months back. Tho mnrktd paragraph caught her eye. Bho rosd this; "(Jenenil Powcll-Badeu Inspected tho Itoyal Yorlckshlre Iteglliieiit last Thursday. It was the llrst training day of this mllltla organization for n year. The new men wero In toor trim, mid Colonel Iteglnald Houthcote, who has seen no foreign service and very little at home, had hard work to glvo commanibi and to sit his horse prop erly. Tho regiment will need overhaul ing to bring It up to oven mllltla Htiiud ards." Tho paper dropped from Hetty's ling ers. "Militiaman; never miw a daj's real service; couldn't sit on his horse;" mid then Hetty gasped. Her thoughts turned to another paragraph that sho had read In an American Journal. It told how one Captain Hoy Landynrd had received tho Congressional modal of honor for personal gallantry In tho saving of the Ufa of a comrade under llerco flro In tho Philippine Island. Hotty knew that night nt tho bull at tho hotel that Colonel Ueglnuld Boiith coto was Kecking her out, hut she avoided him. Captain Itoy Lnnynnl met her mid sho mull d on him, mid the.ro was a look In her eyes that madu tho young soldier's heart leap. "Won't you go for a walk with mo?" ho snld, "Yes," sho answered Hoftly, As they pinoied down tho hotel steps the mo6ullght fell full upon them, and Lawyer Coke, who was standing on tho veranda, smiled, and, being a bit of a wag, ho turned to a friend who had been watching tho cotirso of events for a month past and said: "Alasi Poor Yorlckshlro."
