Now ia the time that every one should take a spring tonic to strengthen the system and prepare for the extra
demands of Nature. Every spring the system is thoroughly overhauled—there is a general hoitaecleaning going on within. The impurities that have been accumulating for a year must be gotten rid of and the system renovated and prepared for the siege of summer. Unless Nature is assisted in this task, the strain on the system is too severe, and a breakdown is the result. Some people neglect to supply this assistance, and as a result they are overcome by an enervating, depressed feeling, their energies relax, appetite fails, and they are totally disabled for a season. Everybody just now needs a tonic, and Swift's Specific
SS-S/fheBlood
is logically the best tonic on the market. The general health needs building up, hence a tonic is needed that is entirely harmless. S. S. S. is purely vegetable, and is the only blood remedy that is guaranteed to contain no potash, mercury, or other harmful mineral ingredient. It is Nature's remedy, being made from roots and herbs gathered from Nature's great storehouse. It thoroughly cleanses the blood of all impurities, tones up the general health, renews the appetite and imparts new life, and vigor to the entire system. Dangerous typhoid fever and other prevalent summer diseases seldom attack a person whose system is thoroughly cleansed and toned up with S. S. S. in the spring. Get S.
S. S. and be prepared. Sold by all druggists.

A chain of five links has been broken. She has given away with weaknets here, but will rise in strength in Heaven. O, how the dear parents' ail'fctiuu and sister and little brothers' love hovered about this little one. But bhe has gone to that beautiful land and another chain i6 being woven and soon the chain will be ail linked together once again. Different is this earthly chain from the heavenly chain Here it can be separated, but in Heaven it wiil remain joined l'orever. The death angel has been hovering around the parental door, and when the Lord said enter, it came in and claimed our dear little Blanche for its own, and what is our loss is gain for her. It seems sometimes that the hand of God is cruel, but no, God is merciful. Blanche Hardee was born June 7, 1888, and departed this life April 17, 1S98, aged nine years, 10 months and 12 duys. Her life was like the beautiful sun. In the morning she came up, she cast beauty and sunshine all around her, and as the sun sets in the evening so did she lay down her cross to awake in her Saviour's arms, bear ing a beautiful crown. He has said, "Blessed are the little children, for of such is the kingdom of Heaven." Her little face was bright and full of prom ise and she gave words enough to tell us all that sbe knew death was near.
To see the beautiful expression on her face as she lay in her little white cas ket was enough to tell parents, sister, brother, relatives and friends that her soul was with her Saviour and all was well. She will be there all robed in white, with her Saviour to greet us when we come. May the remaining ones prepare so that they may join hand in band, link with link, around the beautiful throne in Heaven. The funeral was conducted by Rev Williams at the M. E. church in Yountsville. Interment at the New Market cemetery.
Dearest Blanche, how we miss you. Since you left our happy home, But we know that you have gone
To that fair world to roam. Mr. and Mrs. Hardee wishes to extend their heartfelt thanks to the many friends who so kindly helped them through the sickness and death of little Blanche.
