ood's Sarsaparilla
Wc arc often asked, Why docs Hood's Sarsaparilla
effect so many cures of cases that seem to be almost
beyond the reach of medicine?
The answer is this, that this great medicine is enabled
by the peculiarity of its formula to produce results unap
proached by any other medicine, this peculiarity consist
ing in the balanced combination of the very best specifics

for the blood, Sarsaparilla, Stillingia, Yellow Dock; for
the liver, Mandrake, Dandelion; for the kidneys, Uva
Ursi, Juniper Berries, Pipsissewa; for the stomach,
Gentian, Wild Cherry Bark, Bitter Orange Peel; for the
bowels, Senna, Mandrake and Dandelion. .

MOTHER BIRD'S 8TRATEGEM.
I la Clever Method of Benching; Her
Neat Unobserved.
While strolling on' the tmnks of
French Creek, near Clayton, In com
pany with my wife and n friend, we
started a wood-cock, which feigned
being wounded and gave utterance to
the most plaintive squeaks, from wijjch
we Inferred the nest must be ti?,ir,
says a writer In Forest and .Stream.
A short search discovered It among
small bushes on the ground In a com
paratively exposed position. The nest
contained three eggs, which we, of
course, did not disturb. Leaving the
nest for over an hour, I cautiously re
turned, and getting on my bunds and
knees crept within ten feet of It with
out disturbing the old bird. After
watching her for about 10 minutes I
saw her stand up In the nest, and with
her bill and one foot change the posi
tion of two of the eggs, after which she
settled back on the nest
She then evidently saw me, for she
gave a sudden twist sideways with her
head and then slowly and cautiously
stretched out as flat as possible, her
bill resting flat on the ground. She re
mained thus for fully Ave minutes.
Presently I arose from my position and
stepped forward, when the bird quietly
sneaked away from the nest, seeming to
crouch as near the ground as possible,
until about 20 feet away, when she arose
with the usual cry, but immediately fell
to the ground, fluttered up and down
and finally turned over on her back,
fluttering her wings as If In the last
agony, but as I approached she scram
bled away, dragging one wing on the
ground until she had led me fully two
hundred yards from the nest, when sud
denly she bade me au revolr nnd darted
away like a rocket. Secreting myself
some distance from the nest, In fourteen
minutes I was surprised to see her sit
ting oit It as before being disturbed,
but how she reached there I am un
able to say, as I did not see her ap
proach, and half a " minute before her
appearance on the nest nothing was to
bo seen or , heard. As the woods were
open I had an excellent opportunity of
watching her Interesting maneuveres
arid had hoped to be able to note the
manner in which the return would be
made. '-. ..

THE BLACK FLAG
The black flag is an emblem of liorror and dread. When it is hoisted
by an army, the order has gone forth that "no quarter " will be given, ev
erything must be destroyed. Helpless women and children, as well as oppos
ing soldiers, meet the same fate, and a trail of desolation, suffering and
death is left behind. Contagious Blood Poison is the black flag of the great
army of disease. This vile disorder is known as the blackest and most hide
ous of all human afflictions, overthrowing its victims and crushing out the
life. It is no respecter of persons ; no matter how pure the blood may be
or how innocently the disease is contracted, when this awful virus enters thq
circulation the hideous, hateful and humiliating symptoms begin to appear,
and the sufferer feels that his very presence i3 polluting and contaminating.
Usually the first sign of the disease is a little sore or ulcer, but as the blood
becomes more deeply poisoned the severer symptoms are manifested, the
mouth and throat ulcerate, the glands in the groins swell, a red rash breaks
out on the body, the hair and eyebrows come out, and often the body is cov
ered with copper-colored spots, pustular eruptions and sores. In its worst
Btages the disease affects the nerves, attacks the bones and sometimes causes
tumors to form on the brain, produc
Several years aero X had blood poison
and my flesh was in an awful condition,
Great sores would break out and noth
ing: I put on them would do any good.
My hair and eyebrows fell out and I was
"a frin-ht." Mv mouth was so sore I
had to live on milk and water. I took
Mercury for a long: time and instead of
setting- Better 1 continued to grow
worse and my arms and hands became
solid sores. My legrs were drawn so I
could not walk tfnd I felt that my time
was short here if I did not set some re
lief. I beg-an to use your S. S. S. and it
helped me from the start. After taking
it awhile the sores all healed, my rheu
matism was cured and to-day I am a
strong-, well man. It not all the mer
cury out of my system and it oured me
sound and well. ADAM BCHNABEL, '

ing insanity and death. Not only
those who contract the poison suffer,
but unless the virus is driven from
the blood the awful taint is handed
down to offspring, and they are its
innocent victims. Blood Poison is in
deed a "black flag." Mercury and
Potash, so often used, never can cure
the trouble. These minerals merely
drive the symptoms away for awhile
end shut the diseaseup in the system,
nnd when they are left off it returns
worse than before. This treatment
hot only fails to cure blood poison
but eats out the delicate lining of the
Stomach and bowels, produces chronic dyspepsia, loosens the teeth and fre
quently causes mercurial rheumatism to add to the patient's suffering.
S. S. S., the great vegetable medicine, is the conqueror of this vile disease. It
goes down to the very root of the trouble and cures by cleansing the blood of
every particle of the poison. S. S. S. does not hide or cover up anything
but clears the entire circulation of the
viru9 and put3 the system in good
healthy condition. It cures, safely as
well as certainly, because there is not a
particle of mineral in it. We offer a re
ward of $1,000.00 for proof that S. S. S.
is not purely vegetable. When the blood
is purified and strengthened with this
great remedy the symptoms all pass away and no sign of the disease is ever
seen again ; nor is there left the least trace to be handed down to posterity.

There, was a. faint little crack, du
biously echoed through, the underbrush,
Tlien the listener ' heard a few high
pitched squawks and 'ft whir of wlns.
The 'park policeman, who 'had ' been
talking leisurely with the visitor starts
ed off on a run. A. wrltef in the New
York Tribune Continues the story as an
illustration of. the difficulties of protect
ing song birds from destruction by ig'
norant foreigners. v
"Yes, they're at It agaltt," explained
the' officer, leadlug the I rapid - pace
through a. by-path; '
( "Was it a shotgun?" pants the visi
tor. .
"No, no; a 22-calIber rifle, short cart
ridges." f. j ., . ;
'"How 'do you know the direction?"
"Heard the gun, and saw those robing
starting -up. Now-; when we come to
,that..open apace beyond the swamp; you
just keepback a, little."'! '.. . ' . .;

a, partla, clearing n a holjow. (.,Anian
in a felt hat,nd. art short overcoat was
walking among 'the trees 200 yards
awny. ! ' " '
The detective was nowhere in sight.
A second look, " however, showed him
close to the trunk of a hickory. Then
he slid forward to another shelter.
Such was the manner of progress un
til reaching a treeless patch of ground
when the figure went to earth, and In
approved Indian style wormed ahead in
the shelter of a few bushes. Finally he
rose behind a tree and leaped forward.
The suspect, a black-browed, mus
tached Italian In velvet coat, had no
chance to tako alarm, escape or fight.
"You were shooting at the birds. I'll
have to arrest you."
"No, no 1 Me no shoot anyt'ing."
"Have you been in the hospital?"
asked the detective.
"No, boss I"
"Then perhaps this explains your
stiff gait I"
The explanation, In fact, was the bar
rel of a 22 caliber rifle which the officer
drew from the Italian's trouser leg.
The .stock, which had been unscrewed
from the barrel a moment after the
shooting, was found under the man's
coat A blood-stained bunch of feath
ers, which was lately a song-sparrow,
came from a back pocket.
These offenders are not only break
ing the law which protects song-birds
but In carrying weapons are punishable
by a heavy fine or Imprisonment
"They are crazy after bird pie," ex
plained the officer, as he walked his
prisoner toward the station-house.

Get What-You Ask For!
T
HERE Is a Reason . '
Why the Good People
America buy Cascarets,
Fast as the Clock Ticks.
of
83
Every second some one, somewhere, .
is Buying a little Ten-Cent Box of Cas
carets. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 660 times to the Minute,
60 Minutes to the Hour, 3600 Boxes an
Hour, 36,000 Boxes a Day of Ten Hours,
1,080,000 Boxes a Month, and then some.
Think of it 220,000 People take a
Cascaret tablet each day. Millions use
Cascarets when necessary.
The Judgment of Millions of Bright
Americans is Infallible. They have been
Buying and Taking Cascarets at that rate
for over Six years
a true, faithful, loyal servant of Mankind.
Over Five Millions of Dollars have
been Spent to make the merits of Cas
carets known, and every cent of It would
be lost, did not sound merit claim and
hold the constant, continued friendship,
Patronage and Endorsement of well
pleased people year after year.
There Is also a Reason
Why there are Parasites who attach)
themselves to the Healthy Body of Casi
caret's success Imitators, Counterfeiters,
Substltutors.
They are Trade Thieves who would
rob Cascarets of the "Good Will" of tha
people, and sneak unearned profits,
earned and paid for by Cascarets.
It is not an Experiment, not an Acci
dent or Incident, but a sound, Honest
Business, based on Time-Tried-and-Tested
Merit, never found wanting.
There is a Reason.
Cascarets are the implacable foe of
All Disease Germs; the incomparable
cleanser, purifier and strengthener of tho
entire Digestive Canal.
They Act like Exercise on the Bowel
Muscles, make them strong and active
able to Help Themselves do their work
keep themselves clean.
Cascarets are the safe-guard of Innocent
Childhood against the Dreadful Death
dealing Dangers that threaten the Llvea
of the Little Ones.
They are Purely Vegetable, absolutely
Harmless, always Reliable and Efflclentf
t A Dishonest Purpose means a Dishonest
Product and a Disregard of the Purchas
ers' Health or Welfare.
Beware of the Slick Salesman and his
ancient "Just as Good" story that com
mon sense refutes.
Cascaret3 are made only by the Sterling
Remedy Company, and the famous little;
Ten Cent "Vest Pocket" box Is her
shown. They are never sold in bulk.
