every part of the body, make it he greatest of
remedy PURELY VEGETABLE nnd. while
tite, overcoming that tired, run-down feeling, and other ailments common to Spring, which
warn us that it is necessary to take a tonic, it is purifying the blood of all poisons and waste
matters so that it can supply to the system the strength and nourishment it needs to keep it
in perfect condition during the depressing summer months that are to follow.
Spring is the season when most every
one needs a tonic. It is nature's time for
renewing and changing ; and as everything
puts on new life, the sap rises in vegetation,
the earth thaws out from its winter freezes,
and all respond to Spring's call to purge
and purify themselves, there is a great
change also takes place in our bodies. The
blood endeavors to throw off the poisons and
accumulations which have formed in the
system, and been absorbed by it, from the
inactive winter life, and calls upon every
member to assist in the elimination. The
system is often unequal to the struggle, the
appetite grows fickle, the energies give way,
the spirits are depressed, and a general run
down condition is the result.
' Then the body must have assistance
it must be strengthened and aided by a tonic,
and S. S. S. is the ideal one. Being: made
entirely from roots, herbs and barks, it does
not disagreeably affect the system in any way as do most of the so-called tonics on the market,
which contain Potash or some other harmful mineral ingredient to derange the stomach and
digestion, unfavorably affect the bowels, or otherwise damage the health. S. S- S. tones up
the stomach and digestion and assists in the assimilation of food; it rids the system of that
always-tired, worn-out feeling, and imparts vigor and tone to every part of the body. It re
establishes the healthy circulation of the blood, stimulates the sluggish organs, and calms
the unstrung nerves which make one feel that he is on the verge of prostration. S. S. S.
gives an appetite and relish for food that nothing else does, and by its use we can find our
selves with as hearty, hungry an appetite in Spring as at any other season.
It acts more promptly and gives better and more lasting results than any other remedy,
and is absolutely safe because of its vegetable purity. Dyspeptic, irritable, nervous, debili
tated people will find S. S. S. is just the medicine that is needed for the purification of
the blood, which, from its diseased or impure condition, is causing their trouble, as well as
for toning up and helping the entire system. When you take your tonic this Spring do not
experiment, but get the best the tonic with forty years of success behind it, and the one
endorsed by the best people all over the country S. S, S., THE GREATEST OF ALL
TONICS It is necessary at this time, when the system is depleted and weakened at every
point, that the right remedy be used one that is especially adapted to the condition, and
S. S. S. has proved itself to be this remedy for many years. If it is taken at the first sign
of Spring the system will be so

KEEP CHINESE OUT
COMMISSIONER OF IMMI
GRATION IS HEARD.
Would Enforce Present Exclusion Law
and In Addition Would Plnce Amer
ican Agents at All Chinese Ports
to Examine Certificates of Return
ing Chinese Sargent Wonld Also
Re-rcglstcr AH Chinese Now In the
lulled States.
Commissioner General Sargent, of
the immigration service, was heard
by the house committee recently on
foreign affairs relative to the propos
ed amendments to the Chinese exclu
sion act. The commissioner reviewed
at length the difficulties in the way
of enforcing the present law.
The greatest cause of complaint
nrose, in his opinion, from the fact
that what are known as "section six
certificates," which are In reality
passports of Chinese privileged to
land in this country, were made out
in blank by United States consular
officers In China, nnd were sold for
a consideration. The remedy, he sug
gested, was to have officers in China
who should Investigate the certificate
Issued to every Chinese and who
should send with the steamship in
which he sailed proper papers to the
Immigration authorities at tho port
of destination, the means of readily
Identifying the Chinese and the certi
ficate. Sargent declared that today Mexico
Is flooded with Chinese who are
schooling themselves for fraudulent
entry Into the I'nlted States. The sit
uation as to Canada Is very much bet
ter than It was several years ago, be
cause of an agreement with the Cana
dian railroads.
Sargent also advocated an amend

AN EFFORT TO PULL THROUGH THE DAY.
I have used 8. S. S, quite extensively and unhesitatingly
recommend It as the best blood purifier and tonlo made.
I am a maohinlst by trade and at one time my system was
so run down that by 10 o'olook every day I would be com
pletely exhausted, and it was with the greatest effort that
I oould pull through the balance of the day. Slnoe taking
8. 8 8., however, all this has disappeared. I am a strong,
vlgorons man, abundantly able to do my day's work, my
appetite has been whetted cp so that I oan eat anything,
my sleep Is sweet and refreshing, and I know further that
it has purified my blood and put It In good condition. I
oannot speak too highly of your great remedy, 8. 8. 8.

On two occasions I have nsed S. S. 8. In the spring with
fine results. I can heartily recommend it as a tonlo and
blood purifier. I was troubled with headaohe, indigestion
and liver troubles, which all disappeared under the use of
8. 8. 8. My appetite, which was poor, was greatly
helped. I oan eat anything I want now without fear of in
digestion, and my blood has been thoroughly oleansed of
all Impurities and made Hon and strong again. As a tonlo

He said the country Is full
of Chinese who are here in violation
of the law. After the re-reglstratlon
he would then send out of the coun
try all Chinese who did not have prop
er certificates.
The difficulty of enforcing the Chi
nese exclusion act, Sargent said, is
because of the dishonesty of Ameri
can attorneys. The Chinese Six com
panies in San Francisco, as well as
other Interested parties, he said are
the interests now actively engaged In
efforts to get the law broken down
by lax amendments.
He denied that the Immigration bu
