? A SAFE MD BELI&BLE BLOOD PURIFIEB
In the time of our forefathers the forests and fields were the only labor
atories from which they could procure their medicines. They searched out
and compounded the different roots, herbs and barks into remedies, many of
waicu have been banded down to succeeding generations, and continuously
used with satisfactory results. Among the very bestof these old time prep-
arations is S. S. S., a medicine made entirely from roots, herbs and barks,
in such combination as to make it the greatest of all blood purifiers. This
absolute vegetable purity of S. S. S. makes it the one medicine that may be
used without fear of harmful results In any way. Most blood medicines on
the market contain mercury, potash, or some other strong mineral. These
act with bad effect on the system, upsetting the stomach, interfering with
the digestion, affecting the bowels, and when used for a prolonged period of
time often cause salivation. No such effects ever result from the use of
S. S. S , and it may be taken by children as safely as by older people. For
Rheumatism. Catarrh, Sores and Ulcers, Malaria. Scrofula, Skin Diseases,
and all other troubles caused by impure or poisoned blood, S. S. S. is a per
fect remedy. It goes down into the circulation and removes all poisons,
impurities, humors or unhealthy matter, and makes the blood pure and rich.
It eliminates every particle of the taint of inherited blood trouble, purifies and

attention of the court that the defend'
ant asked for the change to be in
Umatilla, whereas It was the most ex
pensive place of any of the three
counties Wallowa, Baker or Umatil-
.. that might naturally be selected.
Judge Smith, at the conclusion of the
arguments by the attorneys carefully
reviewed the showing that had been
made and decided that he was firmly
of the opinion that the defendant could
receive a fair and impartial trial by a
Union county jury, and denied the
motion.
Immediately following the court's
decision, Attorney White filed an af
fidavit subscribed to by E. W. Bart
lett, asking for some other presiding
Judge at the trial than Judge Smith.
This the Judge Immediately denied,
but recalled It In the next sentence,
awaiting whatever arguments that the
attorneys might wish to make later l
on the motion.
The exact date of trial has not yet
been set. The jury was excused sev
eral days ago, until next Monday, the
24th, and as several cases were set
for the first few days of the week, it
is not expected that the case will come
to trial until the latter part of the
week or at such time which the at
torneys may agree upon.
