an ordinarj' renting piano. They are
artistic instruments, built to meet the
requirements of fine musicians and cnl

Nothing in the world is the matter with
the pianos; the matter is with Reed he
wants the money. He wants it this week,

prove the biggest money-saving home in

three different styles, standard pianos, for
J190. 1210 and $i respectively. Ask for

A SAFE HOME TREATMENT
. In S. S. S. nature lias provided a certain, safe, home cure for Contagious
Wlnorl PnisoTi. Tr is a tnerlir-ine made entirelv of roots) and herbs of reCOST-
faized blood-purifying value, and is
flown to the root ol tne trouble ana remove every pariicie 01 tue virus, ana
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
S. 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 merely symptoms of the poisoned condi
tion of the blood, and in most cases respond quickly to focal 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 hook, 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 you are suffering with Conta
gious Blood Poison you can cure yourself in the privacy of your own home
by the use of S. S. S., an absolutely safe remedy. '

Young Man Witfy New
ingly Successful
The remarkable success that has at
tended L. T. Cooper during the past
year has not been confined to any one
locality; but is so widespread that the
young man Is now .a well-known figure
in, most of the leading cities of the
country.
Mr. Cooper believes that the stom
ach is the foundation- for most ill
health, and claims that his prepara
tion, by regulating the stomach, is a
true specific for most diseases. The
following extract from the Tribune of
Minneapolis gives an idea of the sur
prising number of people who are ac
cepting Cooper's theory. The article
was one of many that appeared during
Cooper's stay in Minneapolis, and is as
follows: '
"The sale of Cooper's preparation is

You Need
A Weak Man
Do you- get up in the morning tired, a weighty
feeling deep in your head, with heavy eyes, a
general sense of weakness all oer you? Does
your back ach? Haveyou a dull, never-ceasing
headache that when you. move suddenly Increases
to a violent, throbbing pain for a few moments?
Are yo.u perpetually tired, with disinclination for
either mental or physical activity? Are you
tortured by an extreme hunger that, when you
attempt to eat turns toa loathing of food? - Do
you experience hot and cold flashes up and dowa
the spinal column,- palpitation of the heart,
sleeplessness, extreme nervousness, and a con
stant craving for something that you are unable
to Identify? Are you oppressed at times with a
nameless dread as If of some impending danger?

wrought on by an excessive waste of nervous en
ergy. The cause of your condition may be due to
a congested, enlarged or inflamed Prostate Gland.

Don't Delay Treatment
Many a man. suffering right on the verge of nervous ruin, attempts to cure
himself with some patent medicine, and advertised "Tonic or a nrivate for
mula hei has heard about. Ofttimes he tries a drug store treatment. or he ex
periments with such worthless devices as electric belts, or some other electric
device which almost invariably tears down instead of building up.
The Scientific Treatment of Weakness
Dosmg the system with powerful stimulants and tonics in an effort to
restore functional vigor can have but one final result: The condition is ren
dered worse than before. "Weakness" Is merely an indication of a low form
of inflammation in the prostate gland, and this Inflammation is but aggravated
by atimulating remedies that excite temporary activity. I employ the only
scientific and fully effective treatment for "weakness," which effects a perma
nent cure by restoring the prostate gland to a sound and healthy state. I" ob
tain complete results In every case I treat.
