Beware of the Doctors' ' There is not the slightest doubt that the tlD
doctors do more harm than good in treating
Contagious Blood Poison ; many victims of D
Patchwork You Can this loathsome disease would be much better
; off to-day if they had. never allowed them b
selves to be dosed on mercury and. potash , the
Gore Yourself at Home only remedies which the doctors ever give for
, blood poison. L
The doctors are wholly unable to get rid of ri
this vile poison , and only attempt to heal up the outward appearance of the ribi
disease the sores and eruptions. This they do by driving the poison into the
system , and endeavor to keep it shut in with their constant doses of potash bile
nnd mercury. The mouth and throat and other delicate parts then break out biW
into sores , and the fight is continued indefinitely , the drugs doing the system W
more damage than the disease itself.
Mr. H. L. Myers , 100 Mulberry St. , Newark , N. J. , says : "I had spent a
hundred dollars with the doctors , when I realized that le
they could do me no good. I had large spots all over my
bcdy , and these soon broke out into running sores , and I tc
endured all the suffering which this vile disease pro
duces. I decided to try S. S. S. as a last resort , and was
soon greatly improved. I followed closely your 'Direc
tions for Self-Treatment , ' and the large splotches on myself
n
self at home , after the doctors had failed completely. "
It is valuable time thrown away to expect the doctors ai
to cure Contagious Blood Poison , for the disease is be sc
yond their skill. Swifts Specific
S. S. S. FOR THE BLOOD atm
acts in an entirely different way from potash and mercury it forces the m
poison out of the system and gets rid of it entirely. Hence it cures the e\
disease , while other remedies only shut the poison in where it lurks forever ,
constantly undermining the constitution. Our system of private home treatment - - bi
ment places a cure within the reach of all. We give all necessary medical ad biV
vice , free of-charge , and save the patient the embarrassment of publicity.

"For God , Home , and Native Land. "
"Only one way to abolish drunken
ness , " says the Novosli , of St Peters
burg , "and that is that no temperance
measures" ( measures allowing the manu
facture of and sale in any form ) will do
away with drunkenness It may be pos
sible to mitigate the grosser and more
disgraceful consumption of liquor , but
drunkenness will exist just so long as
liquor is sold. To abolish drunkenness
is possible but in one way by abolish
ing , through absolute prohibition , the
manufacture and sale of liquor. "

The Chicago Record says that of the
$65,000 paid to the men of the Fourth
regiment at Fort Sheridan , $10,000with
in a week , passed into the hands of the
six saloon-keepers of Highland , the ad
joining village , according to E. A.Welch ,
who owns and runs the largest saloon in
the place. That regiment , over 1,000
strong , sailed for Manila. Will they
escape the temptations of drink there ?

Arkansas has a scientific temperance
instruction law.
* #
The Arkansas legislature has enacted
a law which subjects to fine any woman
wearing a stuffed bird on her hat It
also provides a penalty of from $25 to $50
for each bird skin or part of a bird
offered or exposed for sale for millinery
purposes , or for killing birds for such a
purpose.
A lady asked a butcher for a dollar
toward paying fora temperance lecture
She didn't expect to get it , but the
butcher said : "There's your dollar. I've
sold more meat in a day since this town
went no-license than I used to do in a
whole week when we had saloons. " You
cannot make a better temperance lecture
than that.
* #
Chicago has a butcher for every 205
and a saloon for every 35 families
* *
Every city or town that desires to pro
tect its boys and girls from the tempta
tions of the street at night , should adopt '
the curfew ordinance.
* *
During the past few weeks the state
press has been especially prolific in de
tailing murders , outrages and other horrible
rible crimes within the boundaries of our
commonwealth It is striking to notice
these accounts , so unanimously are the I
crimes enacted or originated in a saloon.

The anti-canteen bill will be brought
up ] in the next congress and it is hoped
I
that a fresh representation of the people
will be manifested and sustained.

Mr : W. A. Hines of Manchester , la. , writ-
ig ' of his almost miraculous escape from
eath , says : "Exposure after measles induc-
d serious lung trouble , which ended in con-
umption. I had frequent hemorrhages and
oughed night and day. Ail my doctors said
must soon die. Then I began to use Dr.
ling's New Discover } ' for Consumption ,
'hich completely cured me. I would not be
ithout it even if it cost § 5 oo a bottle. Hund-
eds have used it on my recommendation and
11 say it never fails to cure throat , chest , and

Checking System Applied to liables.
In some of the New York depart-
nent stores babies can be checked like
o many umbrellas , while their moth-
rs pursue the elusive bargain from
ounter to counter. A small boy is de-
ailed to stand guard over a certain
lumber of infants. Th'e small boys
md the infants have not been asked
or an opinion , but the mothers are
mthusiastic in their approval. In
Brooklyn the checking system as ap-
lied to babies " as appeared in a new
brm. Brooklyn being recognized as
he city of churches , the new develop-
nent is naturally along the ecclesias-
ical line. The R v. Dr. Wiley of the
ostrand Avenue Methodist Episcopal
ihurch is the originator of the scheme ,
md the mothers are once more the
jainers. A large room bas been fitted
ip with hammocks and cribs , peram-
julators and toys. Here a volunteer
ommittee of young women assembles
svery Sunday morning , and here the
nothers , who "would otherwise be kept j'
home , leave their babies , while they j
hemselves alter-1 the regular church i
service. The plan Is a novel one , but
remises , and deserves , to be popular.
