A SAFE HOME TRiixMEKT
jn 'S S" n?ture has Prov!deJ a certain, safe. iome cure for Contagions
Blood Poison. It is a medicine made entirely of roots and herbs of recojj
nized blood-purifying value, and is the one medicine which is able to get
down to the root of the trouble and remove every particle of the virus, and
at the same time benefit and build up the system and general health. No
harmful effects ever follow its use, as is so often the case when strong min
eral medicines are used. As soon as the system gets under the influence of
b S. S the disease begins to improve, and when the remedy has thoroughly
purified the blood and driven out every trace of the poison, no signs of the
trouble are ever seen again. The general manifestations of Contagious
Blood Poison such as falling hair, copper-colored spots, ulcerated mouth and
throat, sores and ulcers, etc.. are merelv svmntnma nt th nnionnH mnHi.
tion of the blood, and in most cases respond quickly to local treatment,
while S. S. S. is doing the necessary work of cleansing the blood. Our
Home Treatment " book is of great assistance along this line. It is a
complete guide for treating the trouble, containing instructions for the
different stages of the disease, and also valuable suggestions about the local
treatment, that will be most helpful in effecting a cure. We will be glad
to send a copy of this book,' free of charge,' to any who desire it, and if
special medical advice is wanted our physicians will take pleasure in sup
plying it without cost to the patient. If von are suffering with Conta-
f iona Blood Poison you can cure yourself in the privacy of vour own home
y the use of S. S. 8., an absolutely safe remedy.

Washington, Feb. 24. "If we are
to have war instead of seeking peace,
our lack of colliers, manned, might
fatally aelay or absolutely prevent
the transfer of one battleship from the
Atlantic ocean to meet an enemy
sweeping upon us from the Pacific,'
said Senator Galllnger of New Hamp
shire today, In a speech advocating
the American merchant marine.
He predicted a great falling off In
American merchants marine, and that
during last year the American mer
chant ships on the Pacific had been
reduced to eight
"The American merchant marine
does not contain enough ocean-going
collelra to provide fuel for a battle
ship fleet sailing between American
ports. Need we wonder that despite
the Monroe doctrine we are being
shouldered out of South America and
other governments?"
