There is nothing more distressing than an itching, burn
ing skin disease, and upon the return pf 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 he 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 he expected to do is, allay the itching and burning and cover
up the trouble for awhile, hut as soon as it is left off the disease returns.
All food taken into the body contains, iq some form, the elements necessary to sustain
the different parts. One portion is used for

of the year, however, these organs become
torpid, dull and sluggish, and mil to perform this duty, and tnese 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.
ECZEMA 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 bodyjmay 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. AOME 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 skih disease is SALT RHEUM* It discharges a watery fluid, form
ing sores and producing intense itching. The head jind 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 harks, and acts directly on the blood with a cleansing, healing
feffect. It neutralizes the acids and purifies the blood so that the skin, instead of being
blistered l and burned by the fiery fluids, is nourished by a supply of cooling, healthy blood.
bl
It goes down into the circulation and forces out every particle of waste or foreign matter,
builds up the blood andcures
res all skin 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 np the system and regulates the

■ays tba~ Boston T ran scrip t The third
Inquiry by ths House committee on this
enterprise has brought out evidence
that appears to Justify confidence In
the results. The Secretary of the In
terior has testified that Including the
Irrigation projects under construction
and those contemplated and approved
but not begun, there will have b
spent in two y e a n from the last of
next June* 187,000,000,’ while the eat!
mated receipts from the operations of

half a million mor* than that amount
In addition a return of about a million
la expected from settlers on irrigated
lands:
Irrigation was one of the forces upon
which the late Prof. 8 haler laid empha
sis when enumerating the resource*
upon which we could depend to meet the
needs of an ever-increasing population.
But it was not the only one. We must

bidding. We have begun reclamation
at this end, and perhaps It Is the nat
ural end; but no aoouer la It under
taken than the opposite enterprise Is
more strongly suggested. This, if c a r
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 locator

the country; The weird Everglades of
Florida, If drained and cleaiWd, as en
glneera now claim they ean be, would

Virginia possess vast swamp lands. 1111
