I LLUM INATED -POST CARDS.

Tlie extended sale - of illnnilnate!
post cards; which are now made in so
great2 variety, containing illustrations
of notable; local buildings and streets,
and narks end monuments, and so
en. has led to the offering for sale now
of some quaint old letterheads evident
ly made in their day to serve the same
purpose that the illuminated Jiost
cards do now.
The history of the modern illuminat
ed post card is familiar. They were
I'rst made and sold in Germany,- They
itui tallied'' local illustrations In great
variety, ami a stamp being attached
could be Used in the i-orrespondettce of
one friend with another, or by for
eigners in the country In ivriting
home. Soon the custom spread all
over' Germany and It has extended to
Italy and France and elsewhere . . in
Europe so that now it would lie pos
sible for the traveller to send homi
from those countries record of his
journeying.
In due course 'the Illuminated post
enrds stmeired as a local 'production
here: and now though tliy are not m
widely or so commonly made and us
ed here as inf. Europe there are. many
made and sold in this country.: Of
cards printed with New York city
views there are scores, hundreds of
varieties, many of them artistically
prodi'eisl. Foreign travellers buy such
cards to send from here home; local
re.Ment write on them and mail
them to! friends elsewhere In the
country:; collectors gather ihein. Illu
minated s letterheads sitowing present
day scenes have also lieen pnt on the
market, .bnt they hare not been re
ceived with the favor that has met
the illuminated post card.
The quaint old; letterheads of local
scenes that have how been pnt out to
ell show views as the things pictured
were In l.w"i-t. nearly fifty years ago.
long liefore the days of postal cards at
all. when the stationers In one city
and auother might have for sale letter
heads containing an Illustration of
some prominent local feature, histori

The liability- to disease is greatly
lessened when the blood is in good con
dition, and the circulation healthy and
vigorous. For then all refuse matter
is promptly carried out of the system ;
otherwise it would rapidly accumulate
fermentation would take place, the
blood txreome polluted ana the const!
tution so weakened that a simple
malady might result seriously.
A healthy, active circulation means
good digestion and strong, healthy
nerves.
As a blood purifier and tonic S. S. S.
has no equal. It is the safest and best
remedy for old people and children
because it contains no minerals, but ia
made exclusively of roots and herbs.
No other remedy so thoroughly and
effectually cleanses the blood of im
purities. At the
same time it builds
tip the weak and de
bilitated, and reno
vates the entire sys
tem. It cures permanently all manner
of blood and skin troubles.
