CONTAGIOUS BLOOD POISON
NO LIMIT TO ITS POWERS FOR EVIL
Contagious Blood Tolson has brought more suffering, misery and humila
tion into the world than all other diseases combined ; there is hardly any
limit to its powers for evil. It is the blackest and vilest of all disorders,
wrecking the lives of those tinfortunate enough to contract it and often being
transmitted to innocent offspring, a blighting legacy of suffering and shame.
So highly contagious is the trouble that innocent persons may contract it
by using the same table ware, toilet articles or clothing of one in whose
blood the treacherous virus has taken root. Not only is it a powerful poison
but a very deceptive one. Only those who have learned by bitter experience
know by the little sore or ulcer, which usually makes its appearance first, of
the suffering which is to follow. It comes in the form of ulcerated mouth
and throat, unsightly copper colored spots, swollen glands in the groin,
falling hair, offensive sores and ulcers on the body, and in severe cases the
Gnger nails drop off, the bones become diseased, the nervous sj stem is shat
tered and the sufferer becomes an object of pity to his fellow man. Especi
ally is the treacherous nature of Contagious Blood Toison, shown when the
Infected person endeavors to combat the poison with mercury and potash.
These minerals will drive away all outward symptoms of the troubles for
a while, and the victim is deceived into the belief that he is cured. When,
however.the treatment is leftoff hefindsthat the poisonhas only been driven
deeper into the blood and the disease reappears, and usually in worse form
because these strong minerals have not only failed to remove the virus from
the blood but have weakened the entire system because of their destructive
action. S. S. S. is she only real and certain cure for Contagious Blood Poi
son. It is made of a combination of healing blood-purifj-ing roots, herbs
and barks, the best in Nature's great laboratory of forest and field. Ve

Siberia a Fertile Land.
Siberia, so far from being a country
of desolation, is In some districts as
green and fertile a land as Australia.
Probably the Ilussins themselves have
no very definite Ideas about the mar
velous fertility of this territory, which
occupies so large a space on the map
of Asia. The soil Is of great richness,
and the crops, wherever the country is
cultivated, are of almost phenomenal
abundance. For the most part It has
lain Idle so long that its productive
power Is almost illimitable. The forest
tracts are luxuriant, and the natural
Irrigation system magnificent. There
is room in Moeria ror minions or colon

Weighing the Daby,

"How

weigh
Itaby who came a month ago?
How many pounds from the crowning
curl
To the rosy point of the restless toe?"
Grandfather ties the kerchief knot,
Tenderly guides the swinging weight,
And carefully over his glasses peers
To read the record, "Only eight."
Softly the echo goes around :
The father laughs at the tiny girl ;
The fair young mother tings the words,
While grandmother smooths the golden
curl.
And stooping above the precious thing,
Nestles a kiss within a prayer,
Murmuring softly, "Little one,
Grandfather did not weigh you fair."
Nobody weighed the baby's smile,
Or the love that came with the helpless
one ;
Nobody weighed the threads of care,
From which a woman's life is spun,
No Index tells the mighty worth
Of a little baby's quiet breath
A soft, unceasing metronome,
Patient and faithful until death.
' Nobody weighed the baby's soul,
For here on earth no weights there be
That could avail ; God only knows
Its value In eternity.
Only eight pounds to bold a soul
'Phut cipflra nn Qnrvpl'fl frilvor vinff

Oh, mother! laugh your merry note,
Be gay and glad, but don't forget

That claims a home in Eden yet.

"I tell you, Maria," said Farmer Ileck,
after the visitor from the city had re
tired for the night, "it's doing Uncle
Henry a power of good to get away from
the city and come out here where he can
breathe the fresh air. He says it's all
right to talk about the comforts and con
veniences of city life, and all that, but
you can't improve on nature."
"I'm glad he thinks so," said Mrs.
Heck, with a sniff. "He must have
changed his' mind since this morning.

whole forenoon in front of the looking
glass up in his room, pulling the hairs out
