CONTAGIOUS BLOOD POISON NO LIMIT TO ITS POWERS FOR EVIL Contagious Blood Poison has brought more suffering, misery and humtla tion into the world than all other diseases combined ; there is hardly any limit to its powers for evil. It is the blackest and vilest ol all disorders, wrecking the lives of those unfortunate enough to contract it and often being transmitted to innocent offspring, a blighting legacy of suffering and shame. So highly contagious is the trouble that innocent persons may contract it by using the same table ware, toilet articles or clothing of one in whose blood the treacherous virus has taken root. Not only is it a powerful poison but a very deceptive one. Only those who have learned by bitter experience know by the little sore or ulcer, which usually makes its appearance first, of the Buffering which is to follow. It comes ia the form of ulcerated mouth and throat, unsightly copper colored spots, swollen glands ia the groin, falling hair, offensive sores and ulcers oa the body, and ia severe cases the finger nails drop off, the bones become diseased, the nervous system is shat tered and the sufferer becomes aa object of pity to his fellow man. Especi ally is the treacherous nature of Contagious Blood Poisou, shown whea the infected person endeavors to combat the poison with mercury and potash. These minerals will drive away all outward symptoms of the troubles for a while, and the victim is deceived into the belief that he is cured. When, however, the treatment is left off he finds that the poison has only been driven deeper into the blood and the disease reappears, and usually in worse form because these strong minerals have not only failed to remove the virus from the blood but have weakened the entire system because of their destructive action. S. S. S. is she only real and certain cure for Contagious Blood Poi son. It is made of a combination of healing; blood-purifying roots, herbs and barks, the best in Nature's great laboratory of forest and field. We offer a reward of Jti.ooo for proof that S. S. 8. contains a particle of mineral in any form. H. b. t. goes down to the very bottom of the trouble and by cleansing the blood of every particle of the virus and adding rich, healthful qualities to this vital fluid, forever cures this powerful disorder, , So thoroughly does S. S. S. cleanse the circulation that no signs of the disease are ever seen again, and offspring is protected. Write for our special book on Contagious Blood Poison, which fully ex plains the different stagesof the trouble, and outlines a complete home treat ment for all sufferersof this trouble. No charge is made for this book, and if you wish special medical advice about case or any of its symptoms, out physicians Will be glad to furnish that, too, without harge, the swift trecmo CO., atuutta, ga. PURELY VEGETABLE KKV. ML KltXIS. JUSTICE THE NEED OF THE HOVE. By Rev. Htwll Dwlght Nltll. Among the dark protiktms f life ws mut uink a I'lsoe for the Injus tice that uobls men smiuKIium suf fer. Long ago Jerusalem cruclflud Its Saviour, Athens poisoned Its mas ter, Florence bunted Its hero, but to day every town and village, holds at rttnst one, martyr to cruel and unjust Judgments. Ours Is world In which the clerk suffers In the finan cial failure of his empiovrr; where the officeholder la ruined by the political tulstskes of th party leader; whore the child Is destroyed by th sins of th father. Employers sometime suiter grlevonsly by reason of economic events over which they havs no eonttvl; some times the cltlsen suffers through the aetisntlotia.1 preas; sometimes th author or editor snffers through cruel criticism over events for whose evil consequences lie Is In no wise responsible. This problem, of unjust Judg ment and this bearing of Injustice In silence Is one of the hardest problems that man experiences. Injustice public men have to endure In silence. The need of the hour Is fur Justice and truth In Judg ment The full facta are Hrbsis never twfore any of ns. But In general men are far better than tlwy are believed to be. The good In the world outweighs the III. The prophot saw man as part gold and tmrt cloy, but the proportlou of gold Is more and more and the clay Is leas and less. The world has had too many teachers pois oned unjustly. Too many reformers martyred wltliout cause. Too many heroes who are victims of malignity, Jealousy and hate. There Is too much good In the worst men and too much bad In the beat uteu to leave any place for Injustice, harshness or cruelty. THE MATTES OF FI1E INSTJEAKCE. . , By F. H rittpatrUk.

A PTJTtI FOOD IS GREAT TRIUMPH. By P. M. Hannty. Well and propurly adiululatered, the pure food law cannot full to work an Immense Im provement In the condition of the goners 1 peo ple, to elevate snd dignify the tone of the nation. It Is Indeed high time for It to come, for rkus and pressing Is the need of It. If there Is one thing In the world that needs loosing after and repairing It Is the American stomach. It has lona been the most abused and outraged of orgsns, with the result that we have almost become a nation of dyiepttc. It has boeu the victim of legalised wholeawls poisoners before whom the Jlorglns of Itsly and all other Infamous toxlcoluglst of history fade Into utter liialgultlcnnce. There Is no more ominous and appslllng sight In the world limn the In numerable red lights that flash from the drug stores of American cities; tltoy are the dnngur signals that toll every cltlaen of the continual menace to health and life that lurks In bis dally food. Tlte world keeps moving, and the march of science and civilisation goes on over shams, frauds, snd humbugs of every kind. Without reviving the days when every man smoked his own bacon and grow his own cabbage, we are getting so that every man may obtain geuulne ami "wholeeomo diet, be he carnivorous or vegetarian, that every man msy know what he Is sitting, oven If he be newly msrrled and his wife does the cooking. The era of the wooden nutmeg Is gone, the era of the psluted strawberry Is going. The clouds of gnstmnomlc doubt snd danger drift away behind; Die sun of health ami dtgeatton glows In front; and soon, according to the signs, we niay reach the happy period when the food color artists cease from troubling and the adulterators are at rest gold Mnmro nr sibsbia.

A curious feature Is the way tits ground la prospected and opened up by the peasant "trtbutors," as ttiey are called. Ponulnskm is readily granted to sink shafts wherever tliey like, subject to the conditions that tls-y can ouly go down as far as water-level, usually about sixty feet, snd that all the rjunrts extrnct1 must be treated at the mill of the ground landlord, and all gold extracted sold to him at a rate previously de cided upon, leaving a fair profit for tlie peasant and an extra good one for the landlord. There Is no philanthropy about the transaction, ami tlie peasant Is in no way bound to accept the terms. No chargo wluitever Is made for tlie use of mill. The field Is thus practically developed for nothing rich reefs which would probably remain undiscovered are opened by up "trlbu tors," who frequently make fortunes out of rich strikes. Tlie mine owner Is thus continually In touch with all that is going on, and duly records tlie results of the operations for bis own benefit In tlte mining oieratloiis women as well as men do their share of the work.

Very nwny of our readers will b interested In the ultimate fate of the unfortunate snoring policeman who has been banished from his fellow sleepors and caged at night in sound-proof quar ters. Perhaps the dreadful Infirmity, now that it has tho official recognition of his superiors, may call for some suitable scientific treatment If so the great nrmy of suorers can covertly watch the outcome with all the cunning and complacency of undiscovered trans gressors.

The culprit must be caught with the snore on him and In the prceenco of reliable ear witnesses. No one has ever been known to ac knowledge his fault ooluntarllr. On the contrary, one of the surest signs of the confirmed iniilnrty Is his persistent denial of its 'existence. He is not satis fied to plond lack of premeditation and absence of acconntublllty, but openly Impugns the motives of his clamorous accusers. The worst of it Is that on all other mutters he is perfectly reason able. This makes It extremely diffi cult to obtain his consent for treatment of any sort We speak now of suorers as a class. The only easy way Is to tackle them when they cannot roslst There are various approved methods not only In genious but effective for temporarily arresting the sonorous, rasping and vi brating respiratory spasms.
