Many people complain of having a
bad memory, aa If it were semething
they could not help, like a headache,
or Home similar ailment; yet even that
can be helped nowadays by the appli
cation of a little common sense. After
all, there is no reason why anybody
should have a bad memory. I t l s mere
ly a matter of training and is, more
over, a matter In which it is never too
late to attend to its training.
For
grown-ups many methods are advo
cated, all of them, no doubt, based on
the principle of mental concentration.
In a young child the faculty can be
cultivated by making the child de
scribe everything it has seen In Its
morning walk, taking care that no fact
is exaggerated, but that strict atten
tion is paid to truth in every detail.
In the matter of memorising it is an
excellent plan to let the child learn
one line of poetry a day, which it
should repeat the following morning,
and at the end of a week it will be
able to siy the seven lines. The young
brain should not be overloaded with
knowledge, but allowed to assimilate
a fragment each day.

I am compelled by a sense of gratitude
to tell you the great good your remedy
has done me in acaseof Contagious Blood
Poison. Among other symptoms I was se
verely afflicted with Rheumatism, and got
almost past going. The disease got a firm
hold upon my system; my blood was thor
oughly poisoned with the virus. I lost iu
weight, was run down, had sore throat,
eruptions, splotches and other evidences
of the disease. I was truly in a bad shape
when I began the use of S. S. S., but the
persistent use of it brought me out of my
trouble safe and sound, and I have the
courage to publicly testify to the virtues of
your great blood remedy, S. S. S., and to
recommend it to all blood-poison suffer
ers, sincerely believing if it is taken ac
cording to directions, and given a fair
trial, it will thoroughly eliminate every
particle of the virus. J a m e s C c U L A X .
