upon the blood, purging it of impurities and restoring it to a healthy,

strength and vigor and better health is the result. No bad after-effects
follow the use of S. S. S., as so often happens with blood medicines
containing strong minerals, which derange the stomach and digestion
and in other ways damage the system. For diseases of the blood,

S. S. S will search out and remove from the blood the fixed poison and
build up the health ; it enriches and purines weak, thin blood and stim
ulates the circulation. Pure blood is essential to health. You can
exist without good blood, but can never be robust and strong ; for every
organ, tissue and nerve in the body looks to the blood for nourishment,
and unless this vital fluid is kept in a pure, healthy state, the rest of
the body suffers and the system soon breaks down. Nature has pro
vided in S. S. S. a remedy for diseases of the blood which long
experience and a thorough test have proven superior to all others, and
the acknowledged King of Blood Purifiers."

"Why Fruit Tree Fail.
Country Life 'In America points out
that the dropping off t young fruit la

The Preacher's Evidence.
: Koland, 111., June 27. Diabetes has
eo long been looked upon as an uncur
able form of Kidney Disease that a sure
cure for it must rank as one of the
most valuable medical discoveries of
the age. And every day, brings forth
fresh evidence that Dodd's Kidney
Pills will cuie Diabetes. Important
evidence in their favor is given by Rev.
ThoB. B. Norman, the well known Bap
tist minister here. Mr. Norman says:
"I had all the symptoms of a bad
case of Diabetes and received so much
benefit from the use of Dodd's Kidney
Pills that I cheerfully recommend
them to anyone suffering from that
dread disease. Dodd's Kidney Pills
will cure the worst form of Diabetes."
Dodd's Kidney Pills always pure Dia
betes, one of the final stages of Kidney
Diseaee. All the earlier stages from
Backache to Rheumatism are naturally
much more easily cured by the same
remedy.

A NATURAL ROMAN CANDLE.
Something: of the New Metal Radinm
and Its Wonderful Properties.
The new metal, radium, which has
been so much talked and written about
during the last few months, turns out
to be a sort of natural Roman candle,
since, in addition to giving light, It
also shoots off bodies of two different
sizes. The light itself from this mys
terious substance is not like ordinary
light Even a small fragment sealed
up In a glass tube shines with a weird
glow like a firefly, but bright enough
to read by. Moreover, if these rays
fall on certain other substances, as,
for example, diamonds, it causes them
also to glow with a similar unearth
ly radiance; and like the "X-rays.
which enable one to see his own bones.
they will go through a plank or a dic
tionary. We never use metallic radi
um, because it hasTiever been entire
ly separated from other material. We
haven't it to use. We are therefore
compelled to be content with some
salt (a mixture) of the metal. One
experimenter consequently placed the
least pinch of radium bromide in a
glass tube, and screwed It tightly in
side of a rubber thermometer case.
This he put in an Iron box, with a sil
ver soup tureen and four sheets of cop
per above it yet In some way the rays
got out After all, I don't know that
It is any more difficult to understand
why this light goes through Iron than
why the light of a candle goes through
glass.
But a piece of radium, in addition to
giving off these peculiar rays, sends
out such a shower of little particles
that it is like a sort of exploding bat
tery of tiny rapid-fire guns. These,
as I said at the beginning, are of two
sizes. The smallest are the smallest
particles known to science. Indeed, as
they travel some two hundred times
faster than a bullet from a rifle, they
must needs be pretty small not to
wipe out everything within range. The
others are much larger, perhaps by a
thousand times-, and they do not travel
so fast But even these are so small
that after millions upon millions of
them have been shot off, the most care
ful weighing with a balance for which
a hair Is a heavy weight cannot de
tect any loss. Now these smaller
bodies are the mysterious "electrons
which as they stream against the
walls of a Crookes tube, produce the
X-rays. So they seem quite like old
friends. The- larger ones come still
nearer home. They are like the mi
nute particles of vapor which are al
ways being sent off by any substance,
such as water, or alcohol, or cam
phor, or ice, which is drying up or
wasting away. But the remarkable
thing about radium is that, while the
gas which goes off into the air from
these familiar substances Is still wa
ter or alcohol or what not the gas
from radium is not radium at all, but
helium. St Nicholas.
The Magnolia.
The magnolia, so called from Pierre
MagnoL professor of botany at Mont
pelier La the seventeenth century, is
a genus embracing fourteen species of
remarkably handsome shrubs deli
clously scented and far more hardy
than is commonly supposed. They are
very widely distributed in China,
Japan and the Himalayas and in Mex
ico and the United States.
The old world species seem to have
been the earliest cultivated, the Chi
nese preserving the buds as well as
using them medicinally and to season
their rice. The purple flowered Jap-'
anese plant was discovered by Koemp-
fer in 1680 and introduced into Eng
land in 1709. The Himalayas possess
three varieties, among them the most
magnificent of all, Magnolia Camp-
belli, a conspicuous object in the scen
ery of Darjeeling, eighty feet high.
twelve feet in girth, with flowers ten
Inches across.
North America has given many dis
tinct varieties, among them the cucum
ber or umbrella tree, the beaver tree
and the favorite Magnolia grandiflora.

Suggestions by Dr. Hartraan. How
to Combat the Nervous Depression
Incident to Warm Weather.
Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is due to anae
mic nerve centers. The nerve centers
are the reservoir for nerve vitality.
These centers become bloodless for the ""
want of proper nutrition.
This condition is especially notice
able during the warm season. Every
duced ae a direct result of weak nerv
ous systems.
- This could be easily overcome by the
use of Peruna. Peruna strikes at the
root of the trouble by correcting the
digestion. Perfpnt rliroatirtn fnraiahaa'
increased nutrition for the nerve cent
ers. Perfectly digested food gives these
reservoirs of life a vitality which cre
ates strong, steady nerves, and in this
manner fortifies and nourishes life.

woman whose nervous force is often
taxed-to the utmost from lack of rest
and irregular meals, I know of nothing
which is of so much benefit as Peruna.
I took it a few months ago when I
felt my strength giving way, and
it soon made Itself manifest in giving
me new strength and health." Miss
Blanche Grey.
Pe-ru-na (Contains no Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in so many nomes is
that it contains no -, narcotic of any
kind. Peruna is perfectly harmless.
It can be used any length of time with
out acquiring a drug habit. Peruna
does not ' produce temporary results.
It is permanent in its effect.
It has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re
moving the cause of catarrh. There
are a multitude of homes where Peru
na has been used off and on for twenty
years. Such a thing could not be pos
sible if Peruna contained any drugs of
a narcotic nature.
At this Beason of the year we are pe
culiarly liable to inflammations of the
stomach and bowels. It is the part of
wisdom to learn how to cut them short
and in the easiest and quickest manner.
Peruna does this by its peculiar
power over all forms of catarrhal
troubles.
