In some cases the external signs of Contagious Blood Poison arc so slight that the
victim is firmly within the grasp of the monster before the true nature of the disease
is known. In other cases the blood is quickly filled with this poisonous virus and the
swollen glands, mucus patches in the mouth, sores 011 scalp, ulcers "on tongue, sore
throat, eruptions on skin, copper colored splotches, nnd falling hair and eyebrows
leave no room tor uouui, as tnese are all unmistakable signs ot Contagious llloou Poison.
Doctors still prescribe mercury nnd potash as the only cure for Blood Poison. These poisonous'min-
erals never yet made a complete and permanent cure of Contagious Blood Poison. They drive the disease
back into the system, cover it up for a while, but it breaks out again in worse form. These powerful minerals produce mercurial
rheumatism and the most offensive sores and ulcers, causing the joints to stiffen and finger nails to drop off, Morcury and
potash mako wrooks, not ouros, nnd those who have been dosed with these drugs are never after free from aches and pain.
S. S. S. acts in an entirely different maimer, being a purely vegetable remedy ; it forces the poison out of the system, and
instead of tearing down, builds up nnd invigorates the general health. S. S. S. is the only antidote for this specific virus, and
therefore the only cure for Contagious Mood Poison.' No matter in what stage or how hopeless the case may appear, even
though pronounced incurable by the doctors, S. S. S. can be relied upon to make a rapid, permanent cure. S. S. S. is not a
new, untried rcmcdv ; nn experience of nearly fifty years lias proven it n sure and unfailing cure for this disease. It is the
only purely vegetable blood medicine known.
Mr II. I Myers, 100 Mulberry St., Newark, K J , says : " I was afflicted with n terrible blood diieane. which was In spots at first, but nfterwnrds
spread all over my body. These soon broke out Into sores, nnd It Is easy to Imagine the suffering I endured. Before I became convinced that the
uuciors coum uu inc nu kwn i uati upciii a nunurcu nouars, wmcn was rcauy uirown awav. 1 men
tried various patent medicines, but they did not reach the disease. When I had finished my first
liottle of S. S S. I was greatly Improved, and was delighted with the result. The large, red splotches
on my chest began to grow paler and smaller, and before long disappeared entirely. I regained my
lost weight, became stronger, and my appetite improved. I was soon entirely well, and my skin as
clear as a piece of glass,"

Mayor Moorcs htiB returned from a two
week' outing nnd Is busily engaged In di
minishing tho piles ot mail accumulated dur
ing his absence. Some nt tho letters are
from suppliants for political plumt; many
others contain hearty congratulations on tho
outcome of the election from nil parti ot

The word of tho mayor's return spread
rapidly among tho applicants for favors and
tho executive oillce was booh hcslejed.
Other moro Imperative duties, however,
made It necessary for the executive to deav
himself to nil comers. In regard to th"
offices nt his disposal the mayor says that
all claims aro being given full consideration
and that no Intimation will bo given ui to
Mclaughlin s electric belt.
You feel Its vitalizing warmth as soon as It touchca your
body. Put It cn when you are retiring, set tho regulator Just
ns you llko tho power, and It pumps n gcntlo stream of elec
tricity Into your body while you sleep,
Its touch U the touch of magnetism, the essence of vital
for-c. It soothes pnln, qulet'ti tho nerves, and enlivens the
blcod. It makes nil who use It stronger.
"I would ro' tako $2,000 for my belt " writes a grateful
patient. It is worth moro than money when It brings health.
Aro you a weak man? Aro you nervous,
fretful nnd gloomy? Is your sleep broken?
liavo you pains and aches In different parts
of your body? Is your back weak and
painful? Havo you lost tho vigor of youth?
Aro you Rheumatic and Gouty? Havo you
Varlcocelo? Theso aro all tho result of the
wasto of vital force. The gentle stream of
Klectricity from Dr. McLaughlin's Klectrlc
Belt going Into tho nerves and weak parts
for hours every night soon replaces all the
lest energy and makes every organ perfo t.
It cures permanently In every ense.
To a man whoso vitality Is exhausted and
who finds hlnuelf. whllo still young In years,
a broken-down wreck of what ho ought to
be. the Ur. McLaughlin Klectrlc Holt is
full ot encouragement. It is tho success ot
tho ago In elevating tho condition of men
suffering from a loss of vitality.
It If worn whllo you sleep. For six or
eight hours every night It pours a steady
stream of electricity Into tho nerve center,
saturating tho weakened tlssiutj and organs
with its life. This Is strength. From It
comes tho vim, tho energy, tho flro of por
ted physical and mental action, It renews
the health and happlners of all men.
