Catarrh is
Not Incurable
But it can not be cured by sprays,
washes and inhaling mixtures which
reach only the surface. The disease is
in the blood, and can only be reached
through the blood. S. 8. B. is the only
remedy which can have any effect upon
Uatarrn ; it cures tiie disease perma
nently and forever rids the system of
every trace of the vile complaint.
Miss Joilo Owen, of Montpelter. Ohio,
write: "I wag af
flicted from infancy
with Catarrh, and nn
one onn know the
fluttering it produces
better than I. The
sprays and washes
prescribed by the doc
tor! relieved me only
temporarily, and
though I used them
constantly for ten years, the disease had a
firmer hold than ever, I tried a number of
blood remedies, but their mineral ingredients
nettled in ray bones and gave me rheumatism.
I wa in u lamentable condition, and after ex
hausting all treatment, was declared incurable.
Seeing S. S. 8. advertised as a cure for blood
diseases, I decided to try it. As soon as my
system vas under the effcot of the medicine,
I began to improve, and after taking It for
two months I was cured completely, the
dreadful disease w9 eradicated from jay sys
tem, and I have had no return of It."
Many have been taking local Jreat
ment for years, and find themselves
worse now than over. A trial of

will prove it to be the right remedy
for Catarrh. It will cure the most ob

A Capital Crime Among the San
Bias Indians.
Marriage with While Men Forbidden
Under Tlielr Lnwi-Strange"
Arc Excluded After
Nightfall.
A strange rncc of people, with mnn
ncrs nnd customs stronger still, lives
near the coast nt San lllus, Colombia,
South America. To the few traders who
visit the spot for coccmnuts and vege
table ivory they nrc known us the San
Itlas Indians. Of their origin nnd his
tory but little can be discovered.
One thing is certain, that although
friendly to the government of the Unit
ed Stntesnnd to foreigners who may en
ter or lind themselves wcnthcr-liound
in the harbor of San Itlaa, there is no
record of their having ever been con
quered or subjugated by any other tribe
or power.
It is quite probable that they hit vedc
scended from the ancient Toltccs, but
what vicissitudes of tribal life they may
have passed through will probably
never bo known.
Although inclined to be friendly they
look with most jealous eyes upon any
effort to cultivate i; closer acquaintance
than the necessities of trade require.
No mutter how tunny teasels may lie at
nnchorin the harbor, or how much trad
ing mtiy have been carried on (luring the
day, every white man nt sundown must
go on board his ship, orat least quit the
territory of the tribe until the follow
ing morning. This is n tribe law,
ngainst which protest is useless.
The maidens of this peculiar tribe nrc
quite attractive, nnd many n jack tur
hns risked his life in the effort to win
or capture a dusky bride. Love, ns in
other lauds, occasionally overcomes nil
obstacles, but if the unfortunate girl is
caught or returns to her people tiie
punishment is dcatlu
The young mate of nn English bark
lying in the harbor became enamored
of agirl wlicne home was near the beach.
The mate's attentions were persistent
and his love was secretly returned.
I One night, just before the ship was to
sail, the 1 ml inn maiden secreted her
I sailor boy in the thickets until nfter
dark, when they stole a canoe and sturt
j cd to paddle out to the vessel, lint an
( awful tropica! storm came up which
caused the eloping couple to lose their
i bearings, and only with difficulty did
they manage to lsccp nlloat. When
morning dawned they were washed
ashore, almost exhausted. The enraged
Indians seized both nnd made them cap
tives, condemning the girl to imme
diate death.
The enptnin of the bark, anticipating
trouble, sent n boat's cretv ashore with
n rescue party. A demand was made
for the prisoner, whereupon the mate
was released, but the girl was held for
the deatli sentence.
Finding argument useless, the desper
ate youth, with a few sailors at his
back, made n rush to rescue his sweet
heart, and hud almost iiecoinplished it,
when he was struck down by n Hjiear
thrust from the hand of the pirl's
father. She broke from her eaptors,
crazed tvithgrief, and, seizing the spear,
drove the head of it into her own breast.
The sailors managed to carry away
their wounded mate, but were driven
into their boat and away from the
shore.
The territory held by the tribe is quite
extensive, although its boundaries arc
not very accurately defined. It oxtemls
from cape San lilas far back into the
mountains.
Coeoanuta are the aourec of tiie na
tion's wealth, which is considerable.
Probably the largest groves in the
world nrc just back of San Bias, and
belong to these Indians.

erative HVstem seems to exist nnmmr

collects nnd carries eacli day bin share
of the coeoanuts nnd nddn it to tiie
enormous pyramid of them near tha
shore, which is the tribe's treasury.
Millions of nuts are thus stored and in
, waiting for a profitable market. The
average price for tlictn is from eight to
ten dollars per thousand in Colombian
. silver, or about 55 per cent, of that
amount in gold. One-half of tiie pay is
I taken in cash nnd the other half in mer
chandise. The nuts arc carried from the "great
pile" to the bench in palmetto hags.
The natives with these loads, each
i weighing 5(1 pounds, travel ut a brisk
j trot all day long nnd seemingly without
fatigue. Although a slender, wiry nice,
they will accomplish with case a task
that would 1(111 or prostrate Anglo-Saxons.
The Indians are excellent sailors, and
even in the rough weather make the
trip from cape San lilna to Aspintvnll
in bouts hollowed out of logs.
A cocoa nut grove is a source of never
failing revenue to its owners, ns the
tree from the fourth yeur of its exist
euce benra indefinitely and has few if
nny enemies. The nuts intended for
commerce nrc allowed to ripen itnd
drop to the ground. Kvery one that
fallB is worth ubout half a cent where it
lies.
