Is a deep-seated blood disease which all the mineral mixtures in the world cannot cure. S.S.S. {guaranteedpurely vegetable is a real blood remedy for blood diseases and has no equal.

Mrs. Y. T. Buck, of Delaney, Ark., had Scrofula for twenty-five years and most of the time was under the care of the doctors who could not relieve her. A specialist said he could cure her, but he filled her with arsenic and potash which almost ruined her constitution. She then took nearly iSsU' every so-called blood medicine and drank them by the wholesale, ,but they did not reach ^her trouble. Some one advised her to try

S.S.S. and she very

soon found that she had a real blood remedy at last. She says: "After taking one dozen bottles of S.S.S. I am perfectly well, my skin is clear and healthy and I would not be in my former condition for two thousand dollars. Instead of drying upthepoison in my system, like the potash and arsenic, S.S.S. drove the disease out through the skin, and I was permanently rid of it."

A Real Blood Remedy*

S.S.S. never fails to cure Scrofula, Eczema, Rheumatism Contagious Blood Poison, or any disorder of the blood. Do not rely upon a simple tonic to cure a deep-seated blood disease, but take a real blood remedy.

He says the Conference this year was one of the best he ever attended.

The history of the beginning of the JOUIINAI. correspondents reunion given by G. W. Whittington, of Possum Ridge, is worthy of preservation and should become part of the record of the association. We suggest that it it, be copied into the secretary's book that it may not be lost. In future years it may be of historical importance as well as interest to both Jouii naIJ and correspondence, and this opportunity of putting it on record should not be lost. The last reunion showed signs of permanency and 40 years hence the man who first suggested it may be in demand. We have liad fome experience in searching the history of some old organizations, namely that of Pleasant Hill Christian church which was organized in 1S28, and whose early history is somewhat obscure that of the Western Indiana Christian Conference organized in 1320 or 1830, of which there is no written record of the first ten years of its history also that of Council Grove Minute Men which probably was organized in 1S45, aud whose early records were burned. It took a careful research to arrive at a probable history of this old company. Grand President Mount said when attending the historical meeting of the company, that fifty years hence the history, organization and names of the founders of this, the first horsethief detective association in the State of Indiana would probably be of more interest than at present, and you have done well to put yourselves on record. We have always had a peculiar reverence for antiquated things, places and naires This is one reason we opposed the change of the name Pleasant Hill to Wingate.
