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 Rheum, Psoriasis, Tetter in fact the majority of human ailments are caused by poisons or humors that are engen- dered and fostered in a sluggish Tho ulcca is tho ZSourco 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 ties that no other blood medicine does. It goes dowa to the very foundation of m - the disease and eliminates from the system every- P&IiUtOO COCCf thing of a poisonous character or that obstructs and clogs the circulation. It builds up and imparts BFGi2Zf3 DiSCSSS new strength and vitality to the old innutritions blood, and when the arteries and veins are once more filled with new rich blood, the general health begins to improve, muscles grow stronger, and sores and eruptions of every kind disappear. 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.

Words fQratltu.ta and r raise from Far ats far the Remedy that Saved tbe Life of Their Child. 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." CHRISTOPHER ARMSTRONG, MARY ARMSTRONG. Subscribed and sworn to before be. W. D. Kramer, Notary Public. The power of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People in the vast num ber of diseases due to impure blood or derangements of the nervous system has been demonstrated in thousands ot instances as remarkable as the one related above.

Giles glvea the following example of Chinese humor In hit "His tory of Chinese Literature": "A man who had beeu condemned to wear a wooden collar was seen by some of his friends. 'What have you been doing? they asked him, to deserve this? On, nothing,' he replied; 'I only picked up an old piece of rope.' 'And you are to be punished thus severely,' they said, 'for merely picking up an end ot rope? WeH.' answered the man, 'the fact is that there was a bullock tied to the other end.'" In his biography of Phillips Brooks, Alexander V. G. Allen of Cambridge tells of a clergyman who was going abroad, and talked In jest of bringing back a new religion with him. "You might have some trouble' In getting It through the custom house," some one remarked. "No," observed Bishop Brooks; "we may take It for granted that a new religion would have no da ties attached. Another person, for the sake, no doubt, of argument, once drew attention to the fact that some men, calling themselves atheists, seem ed to lead moral Uvea, and.

According to "A Hls tary of Frederick the Great," he said: "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 season for rldlng-drlll cornea on. the captain sends for the sergeant major, and says: 'I have an appointment this morning at , tell the first lieutenant to take the rides.' So the sergeant ma jor goes to tbe senior subaltern and gives him the message, and the latter 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 dance; tell the cornet I am 111, and be must take the rides.' Finally, tbe cor net remarks: 'Look here, sergeant ma jor, what is tbe good of my standing out there In the cold? You know all about It much better than I do, you go and take them.' And so It goes, and what must be the end of it all? What can I hope to do with such cavalry be fore the enemy?" 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 back of your neck." Washington Post.
