The worst disease the world has ever known, and
the greatest scourge to the human race, is Contagious
Blood Poison. One drop of the virus of this most
horrible of all diseases will pollute and vitiate the
purest, healthiest blood, and within a short time after
the first little sore appears the system is filled with the
awful poison and the skin breaks out in a red rash ;
the glands of the groins swell, the throat and mouth become ulcerated,"
the hair and eyebrows drop out, and often the entire surface of the body
s covered with copper-colored splotches and sickening sores and erup
tions. Contagious Blood Poison is as treacherous and elusive as the
serpent. You may be carrying it in your veins with no visible evidences
of its existence ; for while
mercury and potash seem
to cure and all external
signs disappear, the dis
ease .is doing its destruc
tive work within, or the
patient is constantly
harassed by reftfrning
symptoms and unmistaka
ble traces of the blood
poison. Thousands of
physical wrecks and
chronic invalids from the effects of Blood Poison know the uncer
tainty of the mercury and potash treatment that it stifles but does not
kill the serpent. As long as there is life in the serpent there is danger
in its fangs ; and while your blood is tainted there is danger of infec
tion. Safety lies only in crushing out the life of the loathsome disease
and killing the serpent. For many years S. S. S. has been known as
an antidote for Blood Poison. It is a remedy composed entirely of
vegetable ingredients, and we offer $i,oco for proof that it contains

here. That Mis Clawson had Kbeu

did it. Mrs. Clawson tells the story
of her cure as follows:
. "I was an invalid for most five years
caused by- Inflammatory Rheumatism,
helpless two-thirds of the time. The
first year I could not do as much as a
baby could do ; then I rallied a little
bit and then a relapse. Then a year
ago the gout set in my hands and feet.
I suffered untold agony and in August,
1903, when my husband died I could
not ride to the grave.
"I only took two boxes of Dodd's
Kidney Pills and in two weeks I could
wait on myself and saw my own wood
I dug my own potatoes and gathered
my own garden last fall. Dodd s Kid'
ney Pills cured me."
Rheumatism is caused by uric acid
in the blood. Dodd's Kidney Pills put
the Kidneys in shape to take all the
uric acid out of the blood.

I have never had the courage to per

Which Is even worse than the French
point of view concerning literature.
"Just as I am writing I glance
across the street into a bakeshop oppo
site, and I see a woman dusting off a
pile of bread In the window with a
feather duster. They have absolutely
no sense of any difference between
bread and wood and coal, and they de
liver it at one's home accordingly. It
is never wrapped, and in pushcarts
made of slats or In great openwork
baskets it is heaped less carefully than
wood or coal indeed, because bread is
easier to buy than wood or coal in
Paris. The carts or baskets are pushed
or carried by women wearing stout,
blue aprons covering them from neck
to knee, which aprons, like the sheets
on a French bed, are changed perhaps
as often as once a month. Arrived at
a house where bread is to be delivered,

Numbers in Early Days.
In" a paper read before the Philologi
cal Society of the University of Michi
gan recently, Prof. George Hempl
commented upon the forerunners of
our present system of numeration.
Some two years ago. In seeking the
origin of the Runic letters (ihe first let
ters used by the i Germanic races),
Prof. Hempl discovered the primitive
Germanic numeral notations. This
threw new light upon the early Ger
manic numeral system, as well as upon
the primitive Indo-European numerical
system and upon the development of
the Greek alphabet and the Greek nu
merical notation.
The primitive Indo-European numer
ical system was a mixture of the deci
mal and the sexagesimal. The first
large number was the "shock" that
is, sixty and the next large number
was the "hund," or "hundred," that is
320. Between 60 and 120 there were
no numbers like our 70, etc., 70 being
a shock and 10," and 80 being "a
shock and 20." The introduction of our
present numbers between 60 and 320,
arose out of the introduction of the
decimal hund or hundred, that is, 100,
in distinction from which the old hun
dred (120) was called the duodecimal
hundred, or the "great hundred,"
which Is still used In Iceland and parts
of England.
Mistook; tbe Motive.
An old man was sitting in the
street-car. In the aisle near him stood
a young woman. He made a move
ment to rise, says the Detroit News,
as if to give her his seat.
'Never mind, sir," said the young
woman. Imperatively. "Just keep your
seat"
She smiled patronizingly on the old
man, who stared and looked dazed.
Alter two blocks more he again at
tempted to rise, but the young wom
an pushed him back, explaining po
litely, "I've stood so long now I don't
mind it. Please keep your seat"
I say, young lady," cried the old
man In shrill irritation, "I want to git
off! You've made me go half a mile
past my street already." :

Lockjaw," or tetanus, is caused by
the development in the body of the
tetanus bacillus," a germ Hying In the
soli in many places, especially In city
streets, round barns and stables and
in pastures. This bacillus does -not
grow readily when exposed to the air,
so there is usually little danger of
lockjaw following large wounds. The
danger lies in the punctured wounds,
the ragged wounds, and often also the
seemingly trivial wounds "which heal
rapidly, and so seal up the : tetanus
germ away from the air; there it -finds
the conditions most favorable to its
development and the manufacture of
the nerve poison which causes the
symptoms of this terrible disease.
Such being the case, the treatment of
little wounds from pistols, torpedoes
and crackers is to- make them bigger.
This requires" some courage on the
part of the doctor, and the more cour
age the smaller and apparently more
insignificant is, the- wound, and par
ents ought not to increase his trial by
pleading against the necessity of cut
ting deeply into the wound, opening It
widely and washing it out thoroughly
with antiseptic solutions. It is only in
this way that the danger of lockjaw
can be reduced to a minimum, and
even this in exceptional cases does not
prevent the disease.
The modern treatment -for this dis
ease is the injection of tetanus anti
toxin. Even this may fall if injected
simply under the skin or into the mus
cles, and the antitoxin has occasion
ally been injected into the sheath cov
ering the spinal cord, or even beneath
the membranes of the brain, so that it
may the more directly reach the nerve
centers chiefly affected by the poison.

J. McMillin of Rushville, Ind., was
when the County Board of Education

English Bard Was Right.
Dramatic critics and commentators
have long been puzzled to account for
the fact that Shakespeare placed the
scene of "Hamlet" at Elsinore, in the
Island of Zealand, whereas the Dan
ish prince lived and died in Jutland.
But Just recently the municipal au
thorities at Elsinore, or Helsingor,
have discovered In their archives that
an English company was acting in
their town in 1587 or 1588, and among
the names of the actors are several of
those who were acting with Shake
speare in London in 1589.
Obviously, these actors must have
talked about their adventures in Den
mark, and so Shakespeare became well
acquainted with Elsinore, and, when
he wrote "Hamlet" naturally placed
the 6cene in a place which he knew
by description rather than in an island
of which he knew nothing. The poet
was no great stickler for accuracy in
geographical matters and this visit of
the English actors plausibly explains
the reason why the tragedy of "Ham
let" was placed in Zealand and not in
Jutland.
Cure for Indigestion.
Scientific investigation has discov
ered that that troublesome disease,
dyspepsia, can be cured by short in
tervals of exposure to intense cold,
followed by hearty eating. M. Raoul
Pictet a Swiss gentleman, was ex
perimenting with, a low temperature.
He had produced an artificial temper
ature in a sort of pit which caused the
thermometer to sink to 140 or 150 de
grees below zero. Among other ex
periments he - exposed himself for a
brief interval to this temperature by
lowering himself into the pit On
emerging he found himself intensely
hungry and ate freely. ' The process
was "repeated several times, and as a
result he found himself cured of chron
ic indigestion, from which he had suf
fered for years.

Dr. Harbnan, Columbus, O.,
Dear Sir: "I took Peruna last
summer when I was all run down,
and had a headache and back
ache, and no ambition for any
thing. I now feel as well as I
ever did in all my life, and all
thanks is due to your excellent
Peruna.'? Bess F. Healv.
The symptoms of summer ca
tarrh are quite unlike in different
cases, but the most common ones
are general lassitude, played-out,
tired-out, used-up, run-down feel
ings, combined with more or less
heavy, stupid, listless, mental
condition. Relish for food and
the ability to digest food seems
to be lost.
' Skin eruptions, sallow com
plexion, biliousness, coated
tongue, fitful, irregular sleep,
help to complete the picture
which is so common at tins sea
son. -
Peruna so exactly meets all
. these conditions that the demand
is so great for this remedy at this
season oMlie year that it is near
ly impossible to supply it.
Peruna Contains No Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has
found permanent use in so many
homes is that it contains no nar
cotics of any kind. Peruna is
perfectly harmless. " It can be
used any length of time without
acquiring the drug habit.
