'A fair exchange to no robbery." So
the text-books iiave taught us, and
now another Instance, quoted by the
New York Tribune, arises to illustrate
the proverb anew. An American, well
known for his wealth, receives inua-
mersble letters asking him to sub­
scribe to charities, and often, when
the credentials of the project -seem du-
blous, he has to refuse.
Not long ago he bad a letter from
London, Bignad by an unfamiliar
name. “Knowing as -J do yonr gener*
oslty,” the stranger wrote, “I have put
you down for a two-hundred-dollar sub­
scription to our miners’ widows’ fund.
Christmas is approaching, and we pro­
pose to give a fowl and a Christmas
podding to each miner’s widow, on
Christmas eve.”
The millionaire replied: “Though I
know nothing of you or your fund, I
respond gladly to the call you make
upon me. I, too, am Interested in a
charity similar to your*. It to an
American charity, and since It stands
in need of funds for a Christmas treat
I have not hesitated to put you down
for a subscription of two hundred dol­
lars. Thus no money need pass bo-
tween us.”

humiliate life, is Contagious Blood Poison. Sorrow, shame and s
hand in hand with this great enemy, and man has always hated
it as he has no other disease. It it the most powerful of all poisons; no mat­
ter how pure the blood may be, when its virus enters, the entire circulation
becomes poisoned and its chain of horrible symptoms begin to show. Usu­
ally the first sign is a small sore or ulcer, not at all alarming in appearance,
but the blood is being saturated with the deadly poison, and soon the mouth
and throat begin to ulcerate, the hair and eyebrows drop out, a red eruption
breaks out on the body, copper-colored splotches and sores make theif
Spearance and the poison even works down into the bones and attacks
e nerves.. Not only is the disease hereditary, being transmitted from
parent to child, in the form ot scrofula, weak eyes, soft bones, weak, puny
constitutions, etc., but is also so highly contagious that many a life has
been ruined by a friendly baud shake, or from using the toilet articles of
one infected with the poison. To cure this blighting, deadly curse the
blood must be purified, and nothing will do it so
quickly and surely as S. S. S. It goes down to the
very bottom of the trouble, drives out every particle
of the poison and makes the blood clean and strong.
It does not hide or cover up anything, but from the
first begins to expel the poison snd build up and strengthen the system.
