Too Much Knife 1
The use of the surgeon's knife is be
coming so general, resulting fatally
in such a large number of cases, as to
occasion general alarm. The press al
most daily announces the death of some
unfortunate whose system could sot
withstand the shock of as operation,
and whose life was cruelly sacrificed to
the keen blade of the surgeon.
Of course, in some instances an
operation is necessary, and is the
only means of saving life, but such cases
are exceedingly rare. So many deaths
occur under these conditions, however,
that the public is beginning to realize
that the doctors are too hasty in resort
ing to the knife, and if such a state of
affairs continues, there will before long
be a general uprising against such meas
ures It is but reasonable to believe
that the majority of operations are
unnecessary, but when the fatal mistake
is discovered too late, only the doctors
ever know of their error, and though a
precious life is given up, the public is
assured that death would have resulted
in spite of the operation, and who is
ever the wiser ?
The folly of resorting to the knife in
cases of cancer, is demonstrated every
time it is undertaken. The disease is
in the blood and the cancer or sore is
but the outward manifestation of a
terrible condition of the entire circula
tion. To cut out this sore, therefore,
does not in any way effect the disease,
and it can easily be seen that the only
correct treatment is to get at the seat of
the disease, and purify the blood; the
sore will then heal up naturally. S.S.S.
is the most powerful Blood remedy made,
and is the only cure for cancer.

Mr. William Walpole, is a wealthy
planter residing at Walshtown, South
Dakota, and is well known all over the
state. Under date of January 20th, 1896,
he writes; "About three years ago, there
came under my left eye a little blotch
about the size of a small pea. It grew
rapidly, and for the past year, shooting
pains ran in every direction. I became
alarmed and consulted a good doctor,
who pronounced it cancer, and said that
it must be cut out. This I would not
consent to, having little faith in the in
discriminate use of the knife, though I
was alarmed at my condition. Reading
of the many cures made by S.S.S., I
determined to give that medicine a trial,
and after I had taken it a few days, the
cancer became irritated and began to dis
charge. This after awhile ceased, leaving
a small scab, which finally dropped off,
and only a healthy looking little
scar remained to mark the place where
the destroyer had held full sway .Words
are inadequate to express my gratitude to
the great blood purifier, S. S. S., and I
write this hoping that it may be the means
of leading other sufferers to a cure."
Cancer is not incurable, but the only
means of curing it is to rid the blood of
the disease. S.S.S. never fails to do
this, but it is the only remedy to be re
lied upon. It is guaranteed purely
vegetable, and cures Cancer, Scrofula,
Eczema, Catarrh, Rheumatism and any
other disease of the blood. Other blood
diseases often develop into such alarm,
ing conditions that the doctors think an
operation necessary. Scrofula, for in
stance, often diseases the glands of the
neck to such an extent that an operation
is looked upon as absolutely the only
- relief. This is also a grave error, as the
disease is in the blood and a real blo.'l
remedy is the only cure.
An operation never did cure blood
disease. Beware of the knife I

A Frightened Cadet.
Last winter. In a time of sudden
thaws and wide extremes of tempera
ture, the authorities at West Point
Issued a daily order denning the limits
on the river within which the cadets
were allowed to skate. So says the
Illustrated American, which goes on
to relate an adventure of a second-class
man, who found himself one afternoon
far outside the limits.
He first became aware of his trans
gression when he saw an officer on
skates bearing down upon him. Anx
ious to conceal his Identity, and to save
! himself punishment and demerits, he
A glance over his shoulder showed
the officer striking out after him iu real
earnest. Never did cadet skate faster,
but the officer drew steadily nearer.
Happily, as the cadet thought, an out
stretching point of land was Jv.st ahead.
Straight up on the roeky shore dashed
the cadet, behind the little lighthouse,
and ran up through the woods, with his
skates still on his feet. Breathless,
he reached cadet limits, and. a quick
glance around told him that he bad
eluded his pursuer.
Then he took off his skates and has
tened to the barracks, to be ready for
the roll-call that would most likely be
ordered for the purpose of detecting
the guilty skater. No such roll-call
was ordered, however, and at parade
that night an order was read extending
the skating limits, and during the even-
ring the pursuing officer called at the
cadet's door to say:
"You are a very good skater, Mr. A.
If I could have overtaken you, I would
have told, you that the limits were ex
tended, and that you might skate even
farther than you did. But then, I dare
say yon found the exercise you had
quite sufficient.'
How "The Bells" Was Written.
John Sartaln, well known as the first
great American engraver, and, more
over, as a man of letters, the half-owner
and managing editor, in the forties, of.
Sartain's Magazine, the friend of all
the great literary men of his time, still
lives quietly In Philadelphia. Mr. Sar
taln was .a firm friend of Poe. In bis
wild moods, frequently, It was Mr.
Sartaln only who could control the out
burst. Mr. Sartaln used to buy Poe's
hasty lines and thus furnish the poet
with a dinner sometimes sadly need
ed. It was in this way that he bought
"The Bells." One day Poe, very ragged,
rushed Into the office of the magazine,
with a bit of verse that he wished to
sell. Out of compassion for his ap
parent suffering, the editor bought the
poem. After the writer had rushed
out, he read it, without much admira
tion; and filed It away. This Is the
poem:
The bells, hear the bells,
The merry wedding bells,
The little silver bells,
How fairy-like a monody there swells
From the silver-tinkling cells of the bells.
The bells, ah, the bells! -
The heavy iron bells,
Hear the tolling of the bells;
Hear the knells;
How horrible a monody there floats
From their throats!
From their deep-toned throats;
How I shudder at the notes
From the melancholy throats -
Of the bells, of the bells!
Presently Poe, very wroth, asked
why the poem had not been published.
Being informed; he wrote a second,
more elaborate version, and when that
too had been refused he wrote a third.
This was the form in which the poem
at last appeared. Boston Common

A Small Fortune for Medicine
Mrs. Leek Spends $4,000 in the
Effort to Regain Health.
Mr. Shulty's Experience With Nervous
Prostration and Its Attend-ing-
Kvlls.
From the Examluer, San Francisco, CaL
"Why everybody knows the good
that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills did me,"
was the cheerful generality with which
Mrs. Francis Leek, of room 29, 1206
Market street, San Francisco, Cal.,
auswered the question whether she had
taken Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People. As she looks the picture
of health her story was the more sur
prising. '. - :
"Yon would hardly believe it," she
continued, "but I was an invalid for
ten years. I spent $4,000 being treated
iu hospitals in Chicago for rheuina-:
tism, neuralgia, nervous prostration;
and fibrous tumors, and then to think;
that I spent only $3 in Pink Pills and,
am a well woman. It makes me mad,
to think I spent so much and then got'
well for $6, still I am glad I did get
well. No one could ever guess how I
came to take the pills. I have a little
granddaughter, at least she - calls me
'grandma,' though I am not really her
grandmother. One day we were rid
ing in the cars in Chicago and she be
gan to read, 'Pink Pills for Pale Peo
ple. ' It seemed to tickle her and she
would rattle it off just as if she had
learned a line of poetry, and sometimes
she would get it turned about and say,
'grandma, what is Pale Pills for Pink
People for?'
"Well, you see I got familiarized
with the name of Pink Pills and one
day when I got a little book about
them I sat down and read it all
through. I was not good for much
else but sitting down or lying down,
and I thought I'd give them a triaLv I
guess there is not much more to say.
Look at me. I don't look much like
an invalid today, do I ? "
It was perfectly true that Mrs. Leek
did not look much like an invalid, and
it is no secret that she was married only
about six months ago. She said that
she always keeps the pills by her bed
side, and produced a handful of the
little round boxes as evidence of her
faith in them. "I have had it on my
mind to write to Dr. Williams direct
and thank him for all the good they
have done me; but one thing and then
another oame up and I have not writ
ten yet. 1 have recommended them to
scores of people and probably that did
more good than writing. Oh! yon can
put me down for the Pink Pills every
time. I believe in them and I can tell
the genuine pills, too, right off. There
is nothing that is 'just as good' for me
I want the real pills every time."
Mr. Francis Shnlty, of 712 Taylor
street, said: "Yes, the Pink Pills did
for me all that was claimed for them.
I used them for about five months.
They were recommended to me by a
druggist on the corner of Oak and
Oough streets, the Eagle drag store is
the name, I think. I was run down,
very nervous, and suffered from indigestion.-
The doctor said my blood
was thin and that I needed change of
air and all that kind of thing. Well,
I couldn't do that, and this frienJ of
mine just told me kind of off hand to
try the Pink Pills. 1 have tried pills
before that were supposed to cure ev
erything and I did not have much con
fidence, but when a man is sick he
don't care what he tries if there is a
chance to get welL I got the pills
one box, that is. It did me good, I
began to feel better right away and I
kept on with them. I have got over
all my nervousness and I must say they
did me a world of good. "

CIGAR WRAPPERS FROM MEXICO
Their Use Not let Increased by the
Present Tronbles in Cuba.
There Is a growing idea among smok
ers that, owing to the trobules in Cuba,
there will be a scarcity of Cuban leaf
tobacco, which will soon affect both the
quality and quantity of domestic clear
Havana cigars, and a rumor Is preval
ent that already many of the so-called
clear Havanas are covered with Mexi
can tobacco, and that it cannot be de
tected by experts. The best-informed
persons in the trade deny this rumor,
and state that most of the large Ameri
can firms have enough Cuban tobacco
to last them for a year or more, and
that there is little or no tobacco In
Mexico suitable for the fastitdious
smoker. They say, also, that Mexican i
tobacco Is detected easily at sight, and
while it may be possible in,f uture years
to produce tobacco for wrappers which
will compete with the Cuban article, it
will be a long time coming, as up to
date no effort has been made by the
Mexican growers to cater to this mar
ket. The Mexican leaf is thicker and
duller In appearance, without the rich
gloss of the Cuban variety so attrac
tive to American smokers. What Is
still more to the point, it rapidly de
teriorates in appearance after, being
worked np Into cigars. Still another
reason is that al the available Mexi
can wrappers worth anything are
called for by the Mexican trade, one
firm of which Is said to be under' con
tract with Englishmen for 500,000
cigars every two weeks.
The government statistics also give
an important hint In this matter. . The
total export of filler tobacco from
Mexico for 1S93 was only 48,451 pounds,
of a value of $11,456; in 1894, 57,840
pounds, valued at $18,507, while the
total amount of wrapper tobacco for
1895 was but thirteen pounds, valued
at $7. This country Imported from
Cuba in 1893 21,694,891 pounds, valued
at $8,940,058; In 1894, some 14,57S,000
pounds, valued at $5,838,964, and in
1895 some 20,147,000 pounds, valued at
$7,233,474. The total amount of Im
ported wrapper tobacco from Cuba
paying duty Into the United States
treasury during 1895 was. 28,130
pounds, valued at $38,320. These are
the facts In the matter, and as soon as
Mexican tobacco begins to come in for
use on domestic-made clear Havana
cigars Its arrival will be shown in the
weekly tables of Imports published In
trade and shipping organs. What is
very likely is that the consumer of Hav

Early Paper Making.
. For the art of paper making, the
world Is indebted to the Chinese, who,
with their usual liberality when deal
ing with their own historical dates, as
sign its invention to a Chinese king
about 12,000 years ago. As a matter
of fact, it was probably made in China
before the Christian era. The inven
tion was taken to Samarcand, whence
it was introduced into Europe in the
seventh century. In 712 the Saracens
were making paper in Spain from cot
ton fiber. Its use became general a
little later, and most of the bulls of the
pope In the eighth and ninth centuries
were written on cotton paper. Linen
and cotton rags Instead of raw cotton
were first used by-the Saracens, and
the earliest dated document on linen
paper is a treaty between the kings of
Aragon and Castile, in 1177. '
