ANKLE.
After Six Years of Intense Obstinate sores and ulce.s which
refuse to heal under ordinary treat
Suffering Promptly Cured ment soon become chronic and deep-
, seated , and are a sure sign that the
Dy C 0 C pntire circulation is in a depraved condition. They
UJ Oi Oi Oi are a severe drain upon the system , and are con
stantly sapping away the vitality.In every case the'poison must
be eliminated fr m the blood , and no amount of external treatment
can have any effect.
There is.no uncertainty about the merits of S. S. S. j every claim
made for it is backed up strongly by convincing
testimony of those who have been cured by it
and know of its virtues by experience.
Mr. L. J. Clark , of Orange CourthouseVa. , writes :
" For six years I had an obstinate , running ulcer on my
ankle , which at timrs caused me intense suffering. I was
so disabled for a long while that I was wholly unfit for
business. One of tha best doctors treated mo constantly ,
but did me no good. I then tried various blood remedies ,
without the least benefit. S. S. S was so highly recom
mended that I concluded to try it , and the effect was
wonderful. It seemed to get right at the seat of the
disease and force the poison out , and I was soon com
pletely cured. " Swift's Specific
S. S. S. FOR THE BLOOD
drives out every trace of impurity in the blood , and in this way
cures permanently the most obstinate , deep-seated sore or ulcer , it
is the only blood remedy guaranteed purely vegetable , and con
tains not a particle of potash , mercury , or other mineral. S. S. S

more ol this particular remedy than of all
other makes for the previous five years. As

of persons of the good results they have re
ceived fiom it and know its value from the
use of it in my owiFfamily. It is so pleasant
to take that we have to place the bottle be

ADDITIONAL RAILROAD NEWS.
It is claimed that the fastest regular
trains in the world are now run in
France. The fast train between Paris
and Calais , a distance of 185 miles ,
makes the run in 195 minutes ; and the
express from Lisle to Paris makes the
run of 155 miles in 180 minutes , includ
ing three stops.
Third 76 , a west-bound freight out of
Lincoln , Sunday evening , ran into the
rear end of a Southern division extra
east , causing a considerable loss of prop
ert3' . H. W. Longfellow , a stockman
from Hardy , was slightly injured about
the back. Three cars of grain were
wrecked , engine 208 pulling 76 was re
duced to a scrap pile , and the caboose
of the extra was demolished.
The new tie treating plnnt of the Bur
lington's atEdgeuiont was opened for
operation Tuesday. The plant has cost
$40,000. It was built to treat ties with a
new process , in order that the life of the
tie might be lengthened. Creosote and
zinc are the chemicals used in treating
the ties. When properly treated it is
said that the life of the tie is doubled.
The new plant will handle about 3 ooo
ties daily.
The following marvelous and eming-
ly unbelievable item is taken from the
Connellsville ( Pa. ) Courier one of the
most dependable and the leading news
paper of the famous Coiuirllsville coke
region : "What seems impossible hap
pened one day last ueek on the South
west railroad. While a heav } ' freight
train of 90 cars was coming from Everson
to Watt two cars were swung around a
curve and jumped the track , going over
an embankment and alighting at the
edge of a trestle at Pennsville The cars
had the patent couplers and the balance
of the train went on without any inter
ruption except a severe jolt , the couplers
catching up and connecting the sections
of the train perfectly The two cars
were not known to be lost till the train
got to Watt , where the conductor noticed
the loss. Liter the cars were found at
Pennsville. "
The Burlington is using its dynamo
meter car on the main line in Eastern
Illinois and Western Iowa The purpose
is to determine several matters : What
the company's new engines can do how
many pounds ol coal a-e used per horse
power per hour and how many pounds
of water are evaporated per pounds of
coal used Tl e basis of comparison is
the relative economy of locomotives in
the pounds of coal per horse power per
hour. The car is ued to determine
speed , weight of train and character of
road with respect to road-bed and grades.
It has been deteimined that with trains
up to and including ten cars , the class
"H" engine with " 68" drivers is the
most economical , but that with trains
over ten cars in size , a class "H" with
" 62" drivers is more serviceable. This
car can dett-rmine the extravagant or
economical use of steam as well. In
.fine , it is a little world of wonderful in

Ivory Soap has been analyzed by many of the most noted

of housekeepers who have used Ivory Soap for years is even more
convincing. They say that Ivory Soap will do some work for which ,
