When there is a natural and healthy circulation of tne blood, the entire
quantity, estimated at one-eighth the weight of the body, passes through the heart
every five minutes. This rapid flow of the blood through the system prevents the
entrance of disease germs ana impurities o every description. It filters out all that
is not necessary or good for the growth and development of the body and nourish
ing and strengthening the muscles, tissues, nerves and bones. But, unfortunately,
few persons can rightly claim an absolutely pure blood supply and perfect and
unpolluted circulation, and in consequence are exposed to innumerable diseases.
Contagious Blood Poison, the greatest enemy to mankind, enters the system
through the blood, and Cancer, Scrofula, Rheumatism, Catarrh, Eczema, Salt

and impoverished blood. Old -
sores, chronic ulcers and rheumatic pains are com- Ci kit StFSISffttl
mon, especially among old people, whose blood -
naturally grows thin and pale because of the lack of the red corpuscles that give
color and strength to youthful blood. Sallow complexions and rough, oily skins
evidence some constitutional or blood trouble, which salves, lotions, powders nor
any external treatment can cure. Diseases that originate in the blood, whether
they manifest themselves as ulcers, tumors, itching eruptions, muscular or bone
pains, require a tonic and blood purifier such as S. S. S., which not only antidotes
and neutralizes blood poisons and humors, but possesses health-giving tonic proper

S. S. S. is the only guaranteed purely vegetable blood purifier, and the purest
and most reliable in all blood diseases. It has been tested in thousands of cases
during the past fifty years and is more popular today than ever. We will be glad

fat TYrlf, itrlaam Oily, Kan.
Rapid as has been the advance of
medical science along many lines, it
is only in recent years that a remedy
has been discoevred for one of the
most dreadful of nervous diseases that
affliced children St. Vitus' dance.
This and other nervous disorders
that cause the pale and wan faces and
peevish, irritable dispositions of so
many children can now be scien
tifically treated by a remedy that
strikes at the root of the disease by
renewing the impoverished blood and
strengthening the nerves.
Words of commendation for this
remedy come from all parts of the
civilized world. This is the interest
ing story told by Mr. and Mrs. Chris
topher Armstrong, of Jefferson, Okla. :
"Our youngest daughter was for
three years afflictetd with St. Vitus,
jaIoe. nd. we
almost despaired of
finding relief in medical treatment.
She was so helpless that she had to be
fed and would fall over at times and
be unable to rise.
"We had heard and read a great
deal about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
for Pale People, and, aa a last resort,
deterimned to try them. The effect
was alomst miraculous. From the
first box there was a noticeable im
provement and by the time she had
taken six boxes she was almost well.
Altogether she took about a dozen
boxes, and by the time she was 13
years of age, was strong and healthy,
weighing 114 pounds."

Frederick the Great once had occa

"Gentlemen, I am entirely dissatisfied
with the cavalry; the regiments are
completely out of hand; there Is no ac
curacy, no order; the men ride like
tailors. I beg that this may not occur
again, and that each of you will pay
more attention to his duty. But I know
how things go on. Yon think I am not
up to your dodges, but I know them all,
and will recapitulate them. When the

says: 'What! the captain will be away?
Then I am off hunting; tell the second
lieutenant to take the men.' And the
second lieutenant, who is probably still
In bed, says: "What! both of them
away? Then I will stay where I am.
I was Dp till three this morning at a

Identifying Uncle Jamea.
Uncle James, from away out West
came to town one day recently to visit
his kinsfolk, who live In 13th stret, just
above Iowa circle. It so happened that
nobody In the family except the second
daughter, Nancy, had seen Uncle
James in years and years, and, as she
was unable to leave her room, Johnnie,
who Ib 12 years old and as ingenious aa
they make them, was told to go to the
station and meet the gentleman. Uncle
James alighted from the train and
walked slowly toward the station en
trance, looking this way and that for
somebody to welcome him. He had
passed through the gate and was enter
ing the waiting room when Johnnie ran
up behind him and touched him on the
arm.
"Lemme carry your traveling bag,
Uncle James?" be said. "I'm Johnny."
.Uncle James was delighted. .
"Why, how In the world did you
know me, my boy?" he asked.
"I wasn't sure until I saw your back,"
Johnnie made answer. "Nancy told me
how you looked, and as soon as I got
behind you I knew It must be you.
Nancy said you was a water-melon-shaped
man with a double chin on the
