Sleeping Volcanoes A thin, vapory smoke, lazily ascending from its crater may be the only visible sign of lift in the sleeping volcano, but Is a raging sea 01 nre, molten rock ana sul phurous gases. Those who make their homes in the peaceful valleys below know the danger and, though frequently warned by the rumblings and quakings, these r ; . ' . . 1 , , Signs OI unpenning eruption go ouuecucu. They are living in fancied security when the giant awakes with deafening roars and they are lost beneath a downpour of heated rock and scalding ashes. Thousands of blood poison sufferers are living upon a sleeping volcano and are taking desperate chances, for under the Mercury and Potash treat ment the external symptoms ot tne disease disappear, and the deluded victim is happy in the belief of a complete cure, but the fires of conta gion have only been smothered in the system, and as soon as these min erals are left off will blaze tip again. Occasional sores break out in the mouth, ared rash appears on the body, and these warning symptoms, if not heeded, are soon followed by fearful eruptions, sores, copper colored splotches, swollen glands, loss of hair and other sickening symptoms. Mercury and Potash not only fail to curt blood poison, but cause Mer curial Rheumatism, necrosis of the bones, offensive ulcers and inflamma tion of the Stomach and Bowels. ; The use of S. S, S. is never followed by any bad results. It cures without th slightest injury to the system. We offer $1,000.00 for proof We will mail free our special book on Contagious Blood Poison, which gives all the symptoms of the disease with full directions for home treat tnent. Medical advice is furnished by our physicians without charge, Th party was one of the most pteoa ant aff.tr ot the kind Indulged by the local you8 people thl winter, everything combining to make It en joyable.
