"Does this railroad company allow
passengers to give It advice, if thej do
so In a respectful manner?"

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion o( the ear. There Is only one
way 10 cure deainess, and that Is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an In
flamed condition of the muoous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which ia nothing but an inflamed condition o
the-mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can

Irrigation la going to be a success,
ays the Boston Transcript The third
Inquiry by the House committee on this
enterprise has brought out evidence
that appears to Justify confidence In
the results. The Secretary of the In-
terlor has testified that Including the
Irrigation projects under construction
and those contemplated and approved
but not begun, there will have been
spent In two years from the last of
next June 137,000,000, while the est!
mated receipts from the operations of
the law up to that time will be about
half a million more than that amount
In addition a return of about a million
Is expected from settlers on Irrigated
lands.
Irrigation was one of the forces upon
which the late Prof. Shaler laid empha
sis wnen enumerating tne resources
upon which we could depend to meet tne
needs of- an ever-Increasing population
But It was not tbe only one. We must
utilize tbe dike and drain as well as
the canal. We must fertilize the now
arid desert by giving the moisture that
It requires, but we must not forget that
there are vast reaches of almost ex
haustless fertility now submerged that
will blossom as the rose when the wat
ers that cover them have been drawn
off. It has been estimated that irrlga
tlon will ultimately bring Into cultlva
tlon and generous production 100,000,
000 acres' that are now barren and for
bidding. We have begun reclamation
at this end, and perhaps It Is the nat
ural end; but no sooner is It under
taken than the opposite enterprise is
more strongly suggested. This, If car
ried to Its approximate limit would
free as much more In all parts of the
country of Its watery burden, and open
It up to the service and support of man.
There are in the United States in the
neighborhood of 100,000,000 acres of
swamp .land, of which about 70,000,000
have been surveyed. These are located
east west north and south, or ail over
the country. The weird Everglades of
Florida, If drained, and cleared, as en
gineers now claim they can be, would
give 7,000,000 acres of the finest farm
ing land In the world. New Jersey and
Virginia possess vast swamp lands. 1111
nois has 4,000,000 acres of them ; Min
nesota, 5,000,000; Michigan, 6,000,000,
and Iowa, 2,000,000. In every State
there are swamps of greater or less ex
tent which would be its choicest treas-
ure If once put Into tillable condition.
These suggestive facts are behind the
Steenerson bill, now before Congress,
proposing similar economic treatment ot
the submerged lands that the govern
ment Is now giving to its arid tracts.
Perhaps In some cases the work of
reclamation along these lines would be
more expensive. In others It would
probably be less so. The necessary un
dertakings would be vast but If suc
cessful the rewards would be vaster.
Tbe two enterprises would have the
potential effect of adding to our pro
ductive area, and equal in extent to
more than rIx times that of the State
of New York, or about a tenth of our
entire territory, including Alaska, and
It would be soil of unexampled fertil
ity. With such reclamation many oth
er problems now formidable, like gen
eral sanitation, the mosquito crusade,
and so forth, would be much simplified.
There is hardly a New England farmer
but has one swamp or more that would
be the best part of his holding could
be but bring It Into subjection. It Is a
question of engineering and upon such
questions tbe light Is breaking all over
the country.

THE ITCHING WAS ALMOST UNBEARABLE.
Dear Sirs My body broke out with a rash or eruption
whioh in spite of all efforts to oure oontinued to get worse.
The itching, espeoially at night, was simply terrible, it
would almost disappear at times, only to return worse
than ever. I had tried many highly recommended prepa
rations without benefit, and hearing of S. S. S. determined
to give it a fair trial, and was inexpressibly delighted
when a few bottles cured me entirely, removing every
blemish and pimple from my body. I shall not fail to reo
ommend S. S. S. whenever an opportunity occurs to do so.

There is nothing more distressing than an itching, burn
ing skin disease, and upon the return of warm weather those
who are afflicted with skin troubles find the symptoms appear
ing and know that they will be tormented through the hot
summer months. The blood is heated with humors and acrid matter, and as they are forced
to the surface the skin seems to be on fire. The treatment of skin diseases with exter
nal applications is all wrong, because they do not reach the trouble which is in the blood.
The most such treatment can be expected to do is, allay the itching and burning and cover
up the trouble for awhile, but as soon as it is left off the disease returns.
All food taken into the body contains, in some form, the elements necessary to sustain
tne ainereni parts, une portion is used ror
the making of blood, another for muscle,
one for bone, still another for fat, and so on.
After these different properties are ex
tracted from the food there still remains a
portion that is useless, or waste matter,
which is intended to be disposed of through
the natural channels of bodily waste, the
Liver, Kidneys and Bowels. At this season
of the year, however, . these organs become
torpid, dull and sluggish, and fail to perform this duty, and these accumulations remain in
the system and are absorbed by the blood to ferment and sour, producing burning acids and
acrid humors. The blood cannot properly nourish the system while in this impure condition,
and begins to throw off these acids through the pores and glands of the skin, producing Acne,
Eczema, Tetter, Psoriasis, Salt Rheum and skin diseases of every description.
EOZEMA appears usually with a slight redness of the skin, followed by pustules from
which there flows a sticky fluid that dries and forms a crust, and the itching is intense. It
is generally on the back, breast, arms, legs and face, though other parts of the body may be
afflicted. In TETTER the skin dries, cracks and bleeds, and is often very painful. The acid
in the blood dries up the natural oils of the skin, causing a dry, feverish, hardened condition
and giving it a leathery appearance. AONE makes its appearance on the face in the form of
pimples and black-heads, and is particularly disagreeable because of its unsightly appear
ance, while PSORIASIS, a scaly disease, comes in patches on different parts of the body.
One of the worst forms of skin disease is SALT RHEUM, It discharges a watery fluid, form
ing sores and producing intense itching. The head and face are the parts usually affected,
and sometimes the hair falls out and a mass of sores forms on the scalp.
These and all skin diseases are due to the same cause burning acids and humors in
the blood, and until this vital fluid is cleansed and made pure they will continue. The best
treatment for all skin diseases is S. S. S., a remedy that is purely vegetable, being made en
tirely from roots, herbs and barks, and acts directly on the blood with a cleansing, healing
effect. It neutralizes the acids and purifies the blood so that the skin, instead of being
blistered and burned by the fiery fluids, is nourished by a supply of cooling, healthy blood.
It goes down into the circulation and forces out every particle . of waste or foreign matter,
builds up the blood and cures all skm diseases promptly
and permanently. S. S. S. does not leave the least par
ticle of the poison for future outbreaks, but entirely rids
the blood of the cause for all skin diseases.
S. S. S. tones up the system and regulates the
Liver, Kidneys and Bowels so that they will carry off
the natural waste and refuse matter through the proper
channels, instead of leaving- it to be absorbed by the
blood. Nothing equals S. S. S. in the treatment of these troubles and for building1 up the
general health. Write for our treatise on skin diseases and any medical advice you wish.
