Booth Tnrkingtou, the author o f “The

lar novels, Is known among hig friends
as somewhat of a practical joker. A
good story o f his Princeton days is re­
lated In the Bookman. The managing
editor o f the Nassau Literary Magazine
at that time was a person who took
himself and his literary responsibilities
with portentious seriousness. He was
wont to deplore the lack o f suitable
material at his disposal, and to speak
In accents o f emphatic scorn of the
quality o f the submitted contributions
from which he was supposed to make a
periodical worthy of the senior class.
One day he found In his letter box a
poem which moved him to more than
usual disgust. “ See here,” he snorted,
contemptuously, to a group o f which
Tarkiugton was on e; "this is what
some fool freshman sends in aud calls
poetry. How am I going to make a
magazine out o f stuff like this! How
am I, I ask?” “Oh, th at!” spoke up
Tarkiugton. “ Yes, I sent that in my­
self.”
“ So you wrote it, did you?”
growled the managing editor. “ No,”
said Tarkiugton, sweetly, “ I didn’t
write it, I only copied it. It was writ­
ten by Tennyson.”

The very name, Contagious Blood Poison, suggests contamination and dread. I t is tho
worst disease the world has ever known; responsible for more unhappiness and sorrow than
all others combined. Nobody knows anything about the origin of this loathsome trouble^
but as far back as history goes it has been regarded tbe greatest curse of mankind.
No part of tbe body is beyond the reach of this powerful poison. No matter liow pure
the blood may be, when the virus of Contagious Blood Poison enters, the entire circulation
becomes corrupted, the humiliating symptoms begin to appear, aud the sufferer finds himself
diseased from head to foot with the vilest and most destructive of all poisous.

But no matter how tbe disease is contracted, tlie sufferer feels the
humiliation and degradation that accompany the vile disorder.
Mercury and Potash are commonly used in the treatment of Contagious Blood Poison,
but these minerals cannot cure the disease— they merely mask it in the system.
A ll ex­
ternal evidences m ay disappear for awhile, but the treacherous poison is at work on the internal
members and tissues, and when these minerals are left off the disease returns worse than
before, because the entire system has been weakened and damaged by the strong action of the
Mercury and Potash. There is but one certain, reliable cure for Contagious Blood Poison,
and that is S. S. S., tlie great vegetable blood purifier. It attacks the disease in the righ t
way by going down into the blood, neutralizing and forcing out every particle of the poison.
It makes the blood pure and rich, strengthens the different parts of the body, tones up the
system, and cures this humiliating and destructive disorder permanently.
T h e improvement commences as soon as the patient gets under the influence of S . S . S .
and continues until every vestige of the poison is driven from the blood and the sufferer
is completely restored to health. S. S. S . is not
an experiment; it is a success.
It has cured
thousands of cases of Contagious Blood Poison,
m any of which had given the M ercury and
Potash treatment, Hot Springs, etc., a thor­
ough trial, and had almost despaired of ever
being well again. S. S. S. is made entirely
of roots, herbs and barks, and does not in­
jure the system in the least. W e offer a
reward of $1,0 0 0 for proof that it contains a particle of mineral of any kind.
If you
are suffering with this despicable and debasing disease, get it out of your blood with S . S . S .
before it does further damage. W e will gladly send our book with instructions for self­
treatment and any medical advice, without charge, to all who write.
