Polson Oah Polson ivy are among the best known of the many dangerous wild plants and shrubs. To touch or handle them quickly produces swelling and inflammation with intense itching and burning of the skin. The eruption soon disappears, the sufferer hopes forever; but

almost as soon as the little blisters and pustules appeared the poison had reached the blood, and will break out at regular intervals and each time in a more aggravated form. This poison will loiter in the system for years, and every atom of it must be forced out of the blood before you can expect a perfect, permanent cure. A A Nature’s AutKotc WWW Nature’s Polseus, is the only cure for Poison Oak, Poison Ivy, and all noxious plants. It is composed exclusively of roots and herbs. Now is the time to get the poison out of your system, as delay makes your condition worse. Don't experiment longer with salves, washes and soaps—they never cure. Mr. S M Marshall, bookkeeper of the Atlanta (Ga.) Gas Light Co . was poisoned with Poison Oak He took Sulphur, Arsenic and various other drugs, and applied externally nutuetuus lotions and salves with no benefit At times the swelling and inflammation was so severe he was almost blind For eight years the poison would bteak out every season. His condition was much improved after taking one bottle of S. S S , and a few bottles cleared nis blood of the poison, and all evidences of the disease disappeared. People are often poisoned without knowing when or how. Explain your case fully to our physicians, and they will cheerfully give such information and advice as you require, without charge, and we will send at the same time an interesting book on Blood and Skin Diseases.

A meeting of tlw* foreign ministers vas held today, but little was accotn--1 listed. as some of the ministers have not yet received instructions from their home governments. The ministers. commenting uixin the blame attached to them by the people for their slowness, say that as a :uatt“r of fact they are powerless to act without instructions. One of the foreign ministers said that he had been instructed to co-operate heartily with the other minister’s. He found, upon consultation with his colleagues, that their infractions were absolutely different from his. Consequently co-operation was practically impossible.

SUSPICIOUS CASE Father Phillips, Friend of Miners, Found Dead In New York. New York, May 18.—The decomposing body of Father Phillips of Hazleton. Pa„ the great friend of the coal miners, was found iu the room of a massage operator in this city yesterday. Kirk Stanley, the masseur, has been arrested on suspk-lou. Decomposition hud advanced so far when the body was discovered that a cursory examination was not sufficient to reveal the cause of death, and an autopsy was held. At the conclusion of the autopsy Coroner Bausch said: "A complete autopsy was made by Dr. O’Hanlon, and It shows no marks of violence, no fracture of any kind and hemorrhage of the brain. The condition of the organs of the body would indicate that death was due to chronic nephritis and fatty liver. There was about a drain of dark fluid fouud in the stomach, the character of which cannot be determined except by chemical analysis. Owing to the suspicious circumstances attached to the case. It was deemed reasonably just that a chemical analysis should be made of the organs, which will lie scut to Prof. Wltlbaup. The matter now rests with the district attorney, and a Justice of the supreme court to determine whether that analysis shall be made. Without their sanction it cannot be made.” Dr. O'Hanlon said: "The autopsy

It may he ungenerous to dispel a popular delusion, but there is no one among tbe thousands who witness a ship launch who does not believe that the beautifully garlanded bottle of wine broken against the stem of a ship is anything but the choicest brand of champagne drawn from tbe admiral's cellar. Whenever a ship la launched In a dockyard, tbe admiralty generously allow £4O as tbe cost of tbe jubilation, and Included In this sum of £4O Is tbe Item of 3 shillings for wine. Hence It follows that not only is tbe wine not drawn from tbe admiral's cellar, but It certainly Is not champagne of foreign vintage.—English Navy and Military Record. rnderatood at Last. “Hello, Central.

Whooping Cough. A woman who has had experience with this disease, tells how to prevent any dangerous consequences from it. She says: Our three children took whooping cough last summer, our baby boy being only three months old, and owing to our giving them Chamberlain s Cough Remedy, they lost none of their plumpness and came out in much better health than other children whose parents did not use this remedy. Our oldest little girl would call lustily for cough svrup between whoops. Jessie Pinkev Ilall, Springville, Ala. This Remedy is for sale by Holthouse, Callow & Co. m
