Lucien O. Appleby Turns His Slate

Lucien O. Appleby announces that he
is through as a layer of odds and has
transferred his interest in the ring to
William Connor. As a bookmaker Ap
pleby has probably had greater experi

He saw racing at Secaucus, in New Jer

Civil War had hardly died away.
When the modern system of bookmak
ink was in its infancy, in the middle 70s,
Henry Stanford having introduced it,
Appleby was one of the first to offer
odds, and he has been interested in hav
ing the public guess about the results
in all the years that have gone by since
then. Trie Secaucus race course is only
a memory now.

THE RIVER.
Telegraphic reports from points along the
Bad blood 13 responsible for most of the ailments of mankind. When
from any cause this vital fluid becomes infected with impurities, humors or
poisons, disease in some form is sure to follow. Eczema, Acne, Tetter,
Boils, Pimples, etc., while they show on the skin, have an underlying' cause
which is far deeper an impure, humor-infected blood supply, and until this
is corrected, and the blood purified, the distressing itching and burning
symptoms will remain. Rheumatism, Catarrh, Sores and Ulcers, Scrofula,
Blood Poison and all other blood disorders, are the result of a vitiated, pol-.,
luted circulation, and will continue to grow worse unless the poison is re
moved from the blood. In all blood and skin diseases S. S. S. has proved
itself a perfect remedy. It goes down into the circulation and removes all
waste matter, humors or poisons, and makes the blood pure and health-sus-.
taining. Nothing reaches Inherited taints and old chronic troubles like
S. S. S.; it cures because it purifies the blood and restores lost properties to
the impoverished circulation. Not only i3 S. S. S. a blood purifier of the
highest order, but a tonic and appetizer without an equal. Book on the
blood and any medical advice desired sent free to all who write.
