Apropos of the mushroom growth of
new towns on the Western frontier a
locomotive engineer relates the follow
ing: "One day I was driving my engine
across the prairie when suddenly a con
siderable town loomed up ahead where
nothing had showed up the day before-
"What town's this?' says I to my
fireman.
"'Blamed If I know,' says Bill. 'It
wasn't here when we went over the
road yesterday.' -
"Well, I slowed down, and directly
we pulled into the station, where over
five hundred people were waiting, on.
the platform to see the first train come
in. "The conductor came along up front
and says to me:
" 'Jim, first we know we'll be run
ning by some important place. Get tbl
town down on your list and I'll put a
brakeman out on the rear platform to
watch out for towns that spring up
after the train gets by.' " Minneapolis.

CONTAGIOUS BLOOD POISON
NO LIMIT TO ITS POWERS F0a EVIL
., Contagious Blood Poison has brought more suffering, misery and humilai
Hon into the world than all other diseases combined ; there i3 hardly any
limit to its powers for evil. It is the blackest and vilest of 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 in the form of ulcerated mouth,
and throat, unsightly copper colored spots, swollen glands in, the groin,
falling hair, offensive sores and ulcers on the body, and in severe cases the
finger nails drop off, the bones become diseased, the nervous system is shat
tered and the sufferer becomes an object of pity to his fellow man. Especi
ally is the treacherous nature of Contagious Blood Poison, shown when 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 i3 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 $1,000 for proof that S. S. S. contains a particle of mineral
in anytorm. B. S. S. goes down to the .
very bottom of the trouble and by cleansing;
the blood of every particle of the virus anl
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 ao-ain. and offsorinp is protected-
Write for our special book on Contagious Blood Poison, which fully ex
plains the different stages of the trouble, and outlines a complete home treat
ment for all sufferers of this trouble. No charge is made for this book, anl
if you wish special medical advice about case or any of its symptoms, out
physicians will be glad to furnish that, too, without harge, i
