The love of flowers is something to be proud ot. and the cultivation of house plants a pleasant pastime, regardless of their ornamental qualities. The presence of plants in a room improves the quality of the air, as the plants absorb carbolic acid gas and thus purify the air. A room in which plants flourish is just the right place to live, and the air will not be such as to invite head aches and that lassitude that comes from heated air that is kiln dried. Farmers Guide. Story of a Slave. To be bound hand and foot for years by the chains of disease is the worst form of slavery. George D. Williams, of Manchester. Mich., tells how such a slave was made free.

High authorities tell us that often the basis of success in the hot waters is neither the heat nor the minerals, but the water. The water is what the system of the patient was needing, We are taught now that there is no danger of drinking too much water and a good deal of not drinking enough. Os course, that'is not disputing the fact that it is very easy to drink too much ice water when we are warm and too much of any kind with our meals. Remarkable Rescue. Mrs. Michael Curtain. Plainfield, 111., makes the .statement, that she caught cold, which settled on her lungs; she was treated fir amo:ith by her family physician, but grew worse. He told her that she was a hopeless victim of consumption and that no medicine could cure her. Her druggist suggested Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption; she bought a bottle and to her delight found herself benefited from first dose. She continued its use and after taking six bottles, found herself sound and well: now does her own housework, and is as well as she ever was.

HOME COHE FOR BLOOD POISON, Bewaro of ths Doctors aSmaom<>r.>unaum; Contagious Blood Poison; many vi „7* tln ? - . . Vmi Pan this loathsome disease would be mimku Patchwork; ICO 5311 off to-day if they had "ever allowed fc Cure Yoursalf al Home. ’ hic " ,h - The doctors are wholly unable to get rid . this vile poison, and only attempt toheal up the outward appearance of th! disease—the sores and eruptions. Dus they do by driving the poison into ’ svstem and endeavor to keep it shut, in with their constant. doses „ t and mercury The mouth and throat, and other delicate parts then break out into sores, and the fight is continued indefinitely, the drugs doing thesystea more damage than the disease itself. Mr H L Mvers. 100 Mulberry St, Newark, N. J says: “I had spent . hundred dollars with the doctors, when I realized that ” * they could do me no good. I had large spots all over my h-dv and these soon broke out into running sores, and I / > endured all the suffering which this vile disease pro- S• 1 duces. I decided to try S. S S. as a last resort, and was 7 » soon greatly improved. I followed closely your ‘Direc- (La « t?ons for Self-Treatment,’ and the large splotches on my W / chest began to grow paler and smaller, and before long V I , disappeared entirely. I was soon cured perfectly and my jjt\ / g skin has been as clear as glass ever since, I cured myself at home, after the doctors had failed completely.” It is valuable time thrown away to expect the doctors ' 'AV /Mt to cure Contagious Blood Poison, for the disease is be- \ yond their skill. Swifts Specific— S. S. S. FOR THE BLOOD —acts in an entirely different way from potash and mercury—it forces the poison out of the system and gets rid of it entirely. Hence it cutes the disease, while other remedies only shut the poison in where it lurks forever constantly undermining the constitution. Our system of private home treat’ ment places a cure within the reach of all. We give all necet sary medical advice free of charge, and save the patient the embarrassment of publicity Write for full information to Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga.
