HOME CURE FOR BLOOD POM. Dpu/orc sis th® finpfnrQ’ There is not the slightest doubt that the DUnQIU VI lllu UUulUlu doctors do more harm than good in treating Contagious Blood Poison; many victims of Patnhwnrlf • Vnil Pan this loathsome disease would be much better I UlullnUln, lUu UUll off to-day if they had never allowed themselves to be dosed on mercury and potash, ths Cure Yourseil at Home. The doctors are wholly unable to get rid of this vile poison, and only attempt to heal up the outward appearance of the disease —the sores and eruptions. This they do by driving the poison into the system, and endeavor to keep it shut in with their constant doses of potash and mercury. The mouth and throat and other delicate parts then break out into sores, and the fight is continued indefinitely, the drugs doing the system more damage than the disease itself. Mr. H. L. Myers, 100 Mulberry St., Newark, N. J., says: “I had spent a

hundred dollars with the doctors, when I realized that they could do me no good. I had large spots all over my bcdy, and these soon broke out into running sores, and I endured all the suffering which this vile disease produces. I decided to try S. S. S. as a last resort, and was soon greatly improved. I followed closely your ‘Directions for Self-Treatment,’ and the large splotches on my chest began to grow paler and smaller, and before long disappeared entirely. I was soon cured perfectly and my 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 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 cu«es the disease, while other remedies only shut the poison in where it lurks forever, constantly undermining the constitution. Our system of private home treatment places a cure within the reach of all. We give all necessary medical advice, free of charge, and save the patient the embarrassment of publicity.

The new horseless carriage that is to be used by the chief of the New York Hre department will weigh only 400 pounds. It can travel 100 miles with but a single charge of gasoline, and go as high as a speed of forty miles an hour. During the winter of 1897 Mr. James Reed, one of the leading citizens and merchants of Clay, Clay Co,, W. Va., struch his leg against a cake of ice in such a manner as to bruise it severely. It became very much swollen and pained him so badly that he could not walk without aid of crutches. He was treated by physicians, also used several kinds of liniment and two and a half gallons of whiskey in bathing it, but nothing gave any relief until he began using Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. This brought almost a complete cure in a week’s time and he believes that had he not used this remedy his leg would have had to be amputated. Pain Balm is unequaled for sprains, bruises and rheumatism. For sale by Holthouse, Callow & Co. o
