A Good Beginning
If the blood is in good condition at the beginning of the warm season,
won are prepared to resist disease and are not apt to be troubled with boils,
pimples, blackheads and blotches, or the itching and burning skin eruptions
that make one's life a veritable torment and misery.
Now is the time to begin the work of cleansing and building up the
blood and strengthening the weat
places in your constitution. During the
cold winter months we are compelled
to live indoors and breathe the impure
air of badly ventilated rooms and of
fices. We over-work and over-eat, and
get too little out-door exercise, and onr
systems become clogged with impuri
ties and the blood a hot-bed of germs
and humors of every kind, and warm
weather is sure to bring a reaction,
and the poisonous matter in the blood
and system will break out in boils and
pustules or scaly eruptions and red,
disfiguring bumps and pimples. Make
good beginning this season by taking
t course of S. S. S. in time ; it will not
only purify your blood and destroy the
germs and poisons, but promote healthy
action of the Liver and Kidneys and
give yon a good appetite at a time
when you need it most.
S. S. S. improves the digestion and
tones up the Stomach, and you are not
coninually haunted by the fear of
indigestion every time you eat, or
troubled with dizziness, nervousness
and sleeolessness. There is no reason
to dread the coming of warm weather if you have your system well fortified
and the blood in a normal, health condition. It is the polluted, sluggish
blood that invites disease germs, microbes and poisons of every kind and
bring on a long train of spring and summer ailments, break down the con
stitution, and produce weakness, lassitude, and other debilitating disorders.
Eczema, Acne, Nettle-rash, Poison Oak and Ivy, and other irritating skin
troubles are sure to make their appearance unless the humors and poisons
are antidoted and the thin, acid, blood
made rich and strong before the coming
of warm weather.
A course of S. S. S. now would be
a safe precaution and a good beginning
and enable you to pass in comfort
through the hot, sultry months and
escape the diseases common to spring and summer. S. S. S. is guaranteed
purely vegetable and is recognized as the best blood purifier and the most in
vigorating and pleasant of all tonics. Write for our book on "The Blood and
its Diseases. " THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO A TLANTAs CA.

adds that In the blue-grass region of
Kentucky, long noted for the beauty

cially of Its thoroughbred horses, the
soil hns lieen formed largely by the
disintegration of a limestone very rich
In phosphates. But even, in that fa

of the animals may not be improved

Census Work la Esrope.
To the American observer of Euro
pean census method, one of the most
striking characteristics is the decen
tralization of census work. In the
United States the census is completely j
'centralized: every person engaged In
the work acts a an officer or employe
I of the federal government, and all ex
penditure for census purpose are
I inmle from the Vntted State treasury.
In most countries of continental Ku
rope, on the contrary, both the lalmr
and the expense of collecting the orig
inal censu tlata devolve upon the mu
nicipalities, township or commune.

Miss Agnes Miller, of Chicago, speaks
to young women about dangers of the
Menstrual Periqd how to avoid pain &nd
suffering and remove the cause by using
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
"To Yopno Wombs: I suffered for six yrars with dysmenor
rhea (painful periods), so much so that I dreaded every month, as I
knew it meant three or four days of intense pain. The doctor said
this was due to an inflamed condition of the uterine appendages caused
by repeated anil neglected colds.
"If young girls only realised how dangmus it is to take cold at
this critical time, much suffering would lie spared them. Thank God
for LydU K. Plnkliam's Veg-etable) Cont!M.und, that was the only
mwliciue which helped me any. Within three weeks after I started to
take it, I noticed a marked improvement in my general health, and at
the time of my next monthly period the pain had diminished consider,
ably. I kept up the treatment, snd was cured a month later. I am like
another person since. I am in perfect health, my eyes ai brighter, I have
added 12 pounds to my weight, my color is gxd, ami I feel light and
happy." Miss Agnes Millur, 25 Potomac Ave., t'hi.-ago, I1L
Tlie monthly sickness rejects the rond'tlon of a woman's
health. Anything; luminal nt that time should have prompt
and proper attention. Fifty thousand letters from women prove
that I.ydin K. Plnkliam's Vegetable C."ii pound regulates men
struation and makes th.se periods painless.
