But nature never intended that poisons of an irritating or acid character should be eliminated through the skin, the Liver and Kidneys being their lustura' outlets, and it is when these important organs fail to perform their functions that these ack: poisons are absorbed into the blood and find their way to the surface of the IkkIv through the i pores and glands of the skin, producing intense itchiug and burning, inflammation and j swelling, and eruptions of every conceivable sie, shape and character. bkm Diseases diiler greatly in their general characteristics and degrees or intensity, of enterprise. newspaper to keep up i -vlth is . and what they are going to do.

Tht Doctors treated me for abcut toe yean without giving relief. I nrxl tried various ointments, soaps and washes, but these did me no gutd I finally quit taking medicine, as the physician said the disease had become chronic and Incurable. Having endured this tormenting tmiludv for about 16 years, I determined to make another effort to get rid of It and began S. S. S. In July, 1900, and continued It until November, when I discovered, to my surprise and Joy, that not a spot could be found on my body, which before had been almost covered with the eruption. It has now been nearly a year since the disease disappeared, but not a sign of It has ever returned, and I an satisfied the cure is permanent. F. C. NORFOLK, 1017 Nackberry Street.

A mere local " so.uib" that your friend cannot compete with the stranger you will trade with the stran ger. If your friend and Jolly associ ate does not furnish you an up to date newspaper in your city, you will pat ronise the :her fellow if he rills the bill. The days of vanity are passing. The people no longer take a paper to see their names In print. They no longer take a newspaper because its columns are filled. They no longer take it be cause of its politics, except, possibly at short periods In politcal campaigns. The newspaper nowadays is taken for news. News means a great deal. In I such an event happened, they already knew, and the item is therefore not news. The modern newspaper heads its ar ticles, if they are worth a head. The public does not wish to " wade through" a paste of mixed up Perns, some of them a half column In length, to find if there is any news in the paper. News items properly headed enables the busy reader at a i lance to cull out what he desires to read and what he does not care to read. The duty of th? newspaper .'s plain. The public may be humbued lor a I long time, but it will gralually make the same treatment, which must be constitutional and not external. Nothing applied locally to the inflamed surface can bring much relief. The disfiguring eruptions will continue to annoy and pain you in spite of soaps, washes or powders. There is no hope of getting rid of a skin disease except through the purification of the depreciated blood and neutralizing aud filtering out of the circulation all poisonous substances aud acids. The purifying and tonic properties of S. S. S. sooa manifest their influence iu skin affections; the debilitated system is invigorated and toned up, and the gradual disappearance of the eruptions show that the polluted blood is being brougnt back to its natural purity and strength. Old chronic skin disorders, which have resisted all the ordinary methods of treatment, readily yield to the curative powers of S. S. S., and there is no reason why the long time sufferer should feel resigned to his fate under the mistaken idea that some skin diseases are incura ble, for S. S. S. has cured aud is still curing cases perhaps far more desperate than yours. S. S. S. is a purely vegetable remedy, containing no Potash, .rsei.n or any of the poisonous drugs which constitute the basis of so many so-called skin cures Our Medical Department has been of the greatest assistance to thousands seeking Yw.l from blood and skin'troubles.

Mr. Edward Jacobs, of Marengo, Crawford Co., Indiana, writes : "After three years of suf fering with liver trouble and malaria I gave up 11 hopes of ever getting stout again, the last chance was to try your medicine. I had tried all the home doctor and received but little relief. After taking three bottlea of Dr. Pierce a Golden Medical Discovery and one vial of his 'Pleasant Pellets' I am stout and hearty.
