Is a blood disease and only a blood reme
dy can cure it. So many people make
the mistake of taking remedies which
at best are only tonics and cannot possi
bly reach their trouble. Mr. Asa Smith,
Greencastle, Indiana, says: "For years
I have suffered with Sciatic Rheuma
tism, which the best physicians were un
able to relieve. I took many patent
medicines but they did not seem to
teach my trouble. I gradually grew
worse nntil I was un
able to take my food
or handle myself in
any way; I was abso
lutely helpless. Three
bottles of S.S.S. re
lieved me so that I
swas soon able to move
my right arm; before
lone I could walk
across the room, and
when I bad finished one dozen bottles
was cured completely and am as well as
ever. I now weigh 170."
A Real Blood Remedy
S.S.S. cures Scrofula, Cancer, Eczema,
and any form of blood troubles. If you
have a blood disease, take a blood medi
cine S.S.S. (guaianteed purely vtgeta
table) is exclusively for the blood and
is recommended for nothing rise. It
forces out the poison matter permanent

NEW WAYS, i
VTO saw still say the light Is good
When nothing lies frees It sewnssUa
When, thrown on living flesh and blood,
ttahews a skeleton revealed'
We aye have loved the eoftaoed fays "
Which will not 1st us ess too muoa,
But wrap, as ia a kindly base,
The things that shrink from aamaa tooea.
We bide ear skeletons sway
When they hare played their living part
And ahat them from the light of day
Within the twilight of the heart.
Aad all the wrongs that shook and Shame
Our tender f ealuga or our pride
The sullied honor, tarnished name
In dim fuiget fulness we hide.
But now we dread lest some Beroe beam
More strong than our reslstaniis prove
And make us look where only sum
TJnlevely relics ef our love.
And yet It may be we were wise
To weloome oaoh new ray of light
And face with frank, counfleema eyes
What now we bnry out of sighs.
Tls not, perchance, true self 00a to)
Nor any part of charity
To shut the wludows ef the soul
'Oelnst all we do not choose to see.
New light which shines on earth may tell
How brighter rays whloh shlaa shore
Can touch the lowest depths of hell,
Tet touch with tender tints of love.

THE DANGER
to which the Expectant Mother is
exposed and the foreboding and
dread with which she looks for
ward to the hour of woman's
severest trial is appreciated by but
few. All effort should be made
to smooth these rugged places
in life's pathway for her, ere she
presses to her bosom her babe.
MOTHER'S FRIEND
allays Nervousness, and so assists
Nature that the change goes for
ward in an easy manner, without
such violent protest in the way of
Nausea, Headache, Etc. Gloomy
forebodings yield to cheerful and
hopeful anticipations she passes
through the ordeal quickly and
without pain is left strong and
vigorous and enabled to joyously
perform the high and holy duties
now devolved upon her. Safety
to life of both is assured by the
use of "Mother's Friend," and
the time of recovery shortened.
"I know one lady, the mother of three
children, who suffered greatly in the
birth of each, who obtained a bottle of
'Mother's Friend' of me before her
fourth confinement, and was relieved
quickly and easily. All agree that their
labor was shorter and less painful,"

Some rears ago, at a acsBion of the
legialatare of Kentucky, an effort to re
peal tbe law offering a bounty on foxes'
scalps was made, bat was defeated by
the appeal of a member from a moun
tainous and sparsely settled region.
"Do the gaiitlomen want to deprive
tay oonstitaenta and me of the benefits
of hearing the gospel preached?" ha de
manded, with indignation in his tone
and overspreading his ragged oonnte
nanco. "We are all Mothodiata np my
way, and onr preachers won't ooms
without we can give 'em chickens, I
know. We can't raise chiokens unless
the foxea are killed by somebody, that's
sure, and there ain't anybody that can
afford to spend their time hunting foxes
and get nothing to pay for it
"So, gentlemen, if yon repeal this
law, you'll be depriving my constituent
of the benefit of hearing the gospel'
preached. That's the way it looks to
me I"
This reasoning was too muoh for the
legislature, and for the time being the
law was not repealed. Youth's Com
