Gentlemen Five years ago I was so un
fortunate " 3 to contract an extremely bad
case of blood poison. My bones ached and
my muscles began to swell and contract. I
was under treatment of the physician from
, the inception of the disease until I found
that he could do me no fjood. Then ,
throujh the advice of a friend I began tak
ing S. S. S. Your medicine seemed to have
an immediate effect. I took six bottles , and
to-day am sound and well. That was two or
three ye rs ago , but I have seen no evidence
of the return of the disease , and I take this
opportunity to thank you for what it has done
for me. It saved mv life. You can refer
any one to mc. R. M. Wall.

TAKE THE HINT.
Whene'er an anxious group is seen But while they smile or praise bestow
Around some monthly magazine And wonder whence ideas flow.
Or paner tint is daily whirled The fact should still be kept in mind
To every quarter of the world , That people of the knowing kind
And merry poals of Iauehtcr rise Will heed the hints or lessons Jaid
A.s this or that attracts the eyes , In rhymes and pictures thus displayed ,
The smiling crowd , you may depend , And let no precious moments fly
Above somi illustrations bend Until the Ivory Soap they try , .
That advertise the strength and scope And prove on garments coarse and fine ,
And purity of Ivorv Soap. The truth of every sketch and line.
A WORD OF WARNING.
There are many wh'ts swds , each represented to be "just a , good as the 'Ivory' ; "
they ARE NOT , but like all counterfeits , lack the peculiar anJ remarkable qualities of
the genuine. Ack for " Ivory " Soap and insist upon getting it.
