Catarrh is teeming! y one of the
most complicated of ailments, and
one which the doctors are absolutely
unable to cure. The reasons for
this are easily explained. Catarrh is
a blood disease, and only a blood
remedy can effect it. The various
sprays, douches and washes which
are employed as a local treatment,
may, for a time, alleviate the
trouble, but no one ever knew of
such treatment producing1 a cure.
They can not reach the seat of the dis
ease, as the experience of many
sufferers will prove ; nothing can do
so except a real blood remedy.
In the treatment of Catarrh, S. S.
S. has demonstrated the fact that it
reaches deep-seated diseases, which
other remedies can not touch.
Mr. Chas. A. Parr, the leading wall
paper dealer, of Athens, Ga.. writes:

symptoms were accompanied by
severe paina in the head. I took sev
eral kinds of medicines recommended
for catarrh, and used various local ap
plication, but the disease had become
so deep-seated that they had no effect
whatever. I was alarmed at my con
dition, as I knew this disease invari
ably descended to the lunirs. endlnir
in consumption. I was induced to take
8. S. S. (Swift's Specific), and after two
months I was perfectly well, and
have never felt any effects of the
disease since."
8. 8. 8. is the only blood remedy
which it is Impossible to imitate. There
is a substitute for most of them, for
they are all alike contain the same
ingredients, and are made in the same
manner. But there is no substitute
for 8. S. 8., as it is in every way dif
ferent from every other blood remedy
offered to the public. It is nature's own
remsdy, being made from roots and
herbs gathered from the forests, and
contains not a particle of mercury
potash or other drug. It is not a drug
store remedy, and not a single Ineredi
ent can be obtained from a chemist's
shop. 8. 8. 8. (Swift's Specific) is the
only blood remedy which is guaran
teed to be
Purely Vegetable
All others are founded on mercury and
potash.
Deep-seated ana obstinate blood
troubles, such as Cancer. Scrofula.
Catarrh, Rheumatism, Eczema, Con

er remedies do not reach, yield readily
to the curative powers of 8. 8. 8.

Visions Claimed to lie Been by Responsi
ble Fersoua in Different l'laces.
We have heard comparatively little
lately from the various societies for
psychical research, and there seems to
be a temporary lull in the activity of
the hypnotists; but the. tlieosophists,
who are far superior in knowledge of
the "unknown" to these people, whose
mahatmas know all that is in creation,
all that has been and pretty much
all that will be, have had some interest
ing proceedings, and the year 1806 has,
thus far, had its full complement of
ghost stories. The unseen but noisy
spooks in Silverton abbey have received
many columns of careful attention in
the English newspapers, anu are still
unlaid. In Seabrooke, N. II., the face
of the first wife of a recently-deceased
farmer appeared suddenJty upon the
tombstone erected to his memory,
much to the annoyance of his second
wife, who was doubtless looking for
ward to a peaceful widowhood. In one
of the many Italian settlements in the
heart of New York city the face oi tne
Virgin Mary, crowned with a halo, ap
pears at an upper window of a partly
deserted house, and the omen thrills
jven the policemen on the beat.
These visions and visitations are ail
authenticated by "responsible per
sons," as ghost stories always are.
But they are still less worthy of
credence than the long and informing
letter dictated to a medium by the
spirit of a physician who was killed in
a street accident. His widow firmly
believes in the authenticity of this
document, and she ought to know.
The letter is as verbose and platitudin
ous as such communications foneially
are, but it is important because of its
direct contradiction of tlio most cher
ished belief of the tht osojihists and
their .mahatmas. They clii.tr to the
Brahma'Duddhlst doctriro of reinenr-
nation. The souls of ir.cn are used
over and over again In th? processes
of creation, and are houred according
to their value. When two members
of the society were recently married
by a veiled mahatma, it was expressly
stated that they had known and loved
each other 5,000 years before; and a
little girl, who delivered an address to
the embassy starting upon an around-the-world
mission of enlightenment,
remarked that while her body was
voung, her noul was very old, indeed.
Now this physician's soul, the mo
ment it realized that it had been sepa
rated from the body, found itself in
company with the aouls of the phy
sician's deceased children, his parents,
his wife's parents, their grandparents
and ancestors for many gt'iic ration.
Here were thene apirits, evidently with
no work on hand, unattached, loiter
ing about on earth for no other pur
pose, as we can see, except to disprove
the doctrine of reincarnation.
The most curious fact about the real
gboit stories those, w mean, in
which a certain nuoiler of sentient hu
man beings are known to believe In
that they are Invariably much loss
thrilling and in Westing than the pure

Over at Trig, England, lives an old
man who is chiefly knowu to the world
because of his immense wealth, but who,
if he were poor, would be fnmous be

entomological specimens. He heurd of
Mr. Dunn some time ago, and has em

A Subterranean City.
The "City of the Salt Mines" is situ
ated several hundred feet below the
surface at Weilicska.Galacia. This won
derful subterranean city has a popula
tion of over 1,000 men, women and chil
dren, scores of whom have never seen
the light of day or the earth's surface.
This remarkable city has its town hall,
a theater and its assembly room, as
well as a beautiful church, decorated
with statues, all being fashioned from
pure crystallized rock salt. It has well
graded streets and spacious squaies,
all well lighted with electricity. There
are isolated cases in this underground
city, where not a single individual in
three or four successive generations
has ever seen the sun or has any idea
of how people live on the outside of the
earth. Their rock salt houses are said
to be perfect sanitariums, and the av

An uptown citizen was awakened
very early on a recent morning by a
chcrus of musical voices. He arose and
went to the window. Dimly in the
shadowy dawn he 6aw a half-dozen
girlish forms grouped before the house
next door. There was a wheel beside
each and he comprehended that this
meant an early outing, s he discreet
ly ducked back his head a shower of
gravel struck the nearest window of
the next door.
Mabel, oh, Mabel 1" aung out a shrill
soprano. ;
"Hush, you'll wake the neighbor
hood," murmured a warning voice.
"Something ought to wake it up once
in awhile," said another voice.
"Who lives next door?" Thla In a
loud whisper.
"Mr. Crimmins." , ; j , -: ;
The man at the window ducked back
bgain.
"Let s serenade him." ;. . ,
"Guess not. He'd throw bootjacks at
us." ,
"Maybe he'd go along if we asked
him." . , 1
Wild chorus of giggles.
"Not much. He loves hi pillow too
well." .
Then the shrill voice rose again.
"Mabel, oh, Mabel!" ;
Then an alto not descended from the
window.
"Say, girls, keep still. You'll wake
papa. Just wait a minute mamma is
going with us."
A few minutes later there was the
sound of footsteps in the gravel drive
way and two more shadowy forms Joined
the group. 1 here were hurried greet
ings and then an older voice asked:
"Where do we go?"
"To Willoughby, don't we, Marie?"
There were more giggles and a little
Reramble of feet on the roadway and
then the party wheeled down the street
into the deepest shadows.
Mr. Crimmins came away from the
window ond sought his pillow ngain.

A NEW
RECORD.
Ocean K early Six
Deepest Spot la the
I : . , Miles. . (. ,
For 20 years or more the deepest spot i n
t!ie ocean has been supposed to be to the !
northeast of Japan, says the New York
Journal. , There the bottom lies 4,055
fathoms down, or more than five miles
beneath the surface of the waves.
Tn the latest hydrographcr's report of ,
admiralty surveys, made by the British
government, this ocean record, which "
has, stood so long, is beaten, for there is ,
ofi'cial information of a deeper sound
ing ithnu has hitherto been made. The,
deepest spot in the ocean, so far as
known tit present, has been found to be ,
in the neighborhood of the Friendly and
Kermudee islands, In the Southern Pa
cific. Here the maximum depth is
5,155 fathoms, or close upon six miles.
The observation, made by the officers
on board the British ship Fengum, is all
the more interesting for the fact that it ,
bears out the result of previous re-.
searches, showing curiously, enough as
it does that the deepest parts of the sea
are not far from land. : , , .
Deep-sea sounding has come of late
years an exact science in itself. One cu
rious feature of it, and one which is lit
tle known, is thnt the "leads" used have .
to be constructed with especial strength
In order to withstand the enormous
pressure of the mass of water which
bears down upon them when they lie
upon the. bottom. So great is this pres
sure that the Bounding apparatus in
ordinary use would be crushed.
