For 20Years Has Led anWo emdes.j9 .Prepared . by JAMES F. BALLARD , St.LOUjS.J McCONNELL & BERRY. fha flnll/ There are dozens of remedies recommended for uu USIijf Scrofula , some of them no doubt being able to , afford temporary relief , but S. S. S. is absolutely kfJ ! 5 ? | if ) InlQ the only remedy which completely cures it. Li { tj l U UIIO Scrofula is one of the most obstinate , deep-seated blood diseases , and is beyond the reach of the Oijsiiiia many so-called purifiers and tonics because some- thingmore than a mere tonic is required. S. S. H. -is equal to any blood trouble , and never fails to cure Scrofula , because it goes down to the seat of the disease , thus permanently eliminating every trace of the taint. The serious consequences to which Scrofula surely leads should impress upon those afflicted with it the vital im portance of wasting no time upon treatment which can not possibly effect a cure. In many cases where the wrong treatment has been relied upon , complicated glandular swellings have resulted , for which the doctors insist that a dangerous surgical operation is necessary. Mr. H. E. Thompson , of Milledgeville , Ga. , writes : "A Imd case of Scrofula broke out on the glands of my neck , -which had to be lanced and caused me much suffering. I was treated for a long while , but .the physicians vrere un able to cure me , and my condition was as bad as when I began their treatment. Many blood remedies were used , but without effect. Some one recommended S. S. S. , and I began to improve as soon as I had taken n , few bottles. Continuing the remedy , I was soon cured permanently , and have never had a sign of the disease to return. " Swift's Specific S. S. FOR THE BLOOD is the onlyremedy hich can promptly reach and cure obstinate , deep-seated blood diseases. By relying upon it , and not experimenting with the various so-called tonics , etc. , all sufferers from blood troubles can oe promptly cured , instead of enduring years of suffering which gradually but surely undermines l the constitution. 3. S. Sris guaranteed purely vegetable , and never fails to r.ure Scrofula , Eczema , Cancer , Rheumatism , Contagious Blood Poison , Boils , 2 Tetter , Pimples , Sores , Ulcers , etc.Insist upon S.

A number of the merchants of the city complain that the sign boards erect ed by them at various places throughout the county have been defaced and de stroyed and they desire to call attention to the following law relating to the de struction of property : "If any person shall wilfully and ma liciously injure or destroy to any amount less than one hundred dollars , any per sonal property of any description what soever , or any building or other struct ure of any kind , owned by any other person , every person so offending shall be imprisoned in the jail of the proper county not exceeding thirty days and shall morever be fined in double the amount of the damage of the property injured or destroyed. " They have expended sums in procur ing and placing these signs and if the destruction continues , they intend to combine for the purpose of taking steps to discover and prosecute the guilty persons.
