A well moaning, communicative cit izen is a boon to a newspaper reporter and it is a noticeable fact that many good items are lost to the newspaper every day by the modisty of the people who hesitate to tell the editor matter concerning thepaselves. The right way to do is to stop the newspaper man on tho street, or any place you may meet him, and tell him you have been entertaining friends, have been on a visit or anything that is in anyway a matter of news, and if you don’t know anything, tell him something anyway. SORES AND ULCERS. Sores and Ulcers never become chronic ■nless the blood is in poor condition —is sluggish, weak and unable to throw off the poisons that accumulate in it. The system must l>e relieved of the unhealthy matter through the sore, and great danger to life would follow should it heal before the blood has been made pure and healthy and all impurities eliminated from the system. S.S.S. begins the cure by first cleansing and invigorating the blood, building up the general health and removing from Lu' X’k? 4 OONSTANT DRAIN effltematter UPON THE SYSTEM. When this has been accomplished the discharge gradually ceases, and tbe sore or ulcer heals It is the tendency of these old indolent sores to grow worse and worse, and eventually to destroy the bones.
