KOXIffiTTO ITS POWEBS FOS EVIL Contagious Wood Toison lias brought more suffering:, misery and humilaJ i iion into wie worm man an oiner uiweases combined j there is hardly any limit to its powers for evil. It is the blackest and vilest of all disorders, wrcckinir the lives of those tin fortunate cnouirh to contract it and often Initio- pill transmitted to innocent ofTsorinir. a ijlifhtino- lofnrvnf fliifiWino- nnrl 1irimr So highly contagious is the trouble that innocent persons may contract it jiv 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 apnearance first, of the suffering 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 oil, 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 Wood 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 i3 deceived into the belief that he is cured. When, however.the treatment i3 left off hefindsthat the poisonhas 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 $1,000 for proof that S. S. S. contains a particle of mineral in any form. S. S. S. 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 atrain. and ofTsnriner is nrotected. 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 suffercrsof 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 SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, CA, TEBBOB WHEN HE'S CUANX!".

' An article In the Literary Digest de-; scribes how the sensitiveness of a lens was Illustrated by Alvan Clark, the greatest lens-maker America has produced : f Mr. Clark walked down to the lens and held bis band under It about two feet away. Instantaneously a marvel ous spectacle burst Into view. It seemed aa If the great glass disk had become a living volcano, spurting forth . Jets of flame. The display was dazzling. Waving, ' leaping, dancing, the countless tongues of light gleamed and vibrated ; then. ! fitfully, reluctantly, they died away, leaving the lens reflecting only a pure, untroubled light. What Is it? How do you account for the wonder? were the eager ques tions. It Is only the radiation of heat alternately expanding and contracting the glass. If the hand had been put upon tbe lens Itself, the phenomenon would have been more violent. To a person more ignorant of lenses the almost supernatural sensitiveness of a mass of glass weighing several hundred pounds is astonishing, but to the scientist It is an every-day mat ter, for he has instruments that will register with unfaltering nicety the approach of a person fifty or a hun dred feet away.
