Bin Tnrfiira Crnsal fn the Not much attention is often paid to the
ItU lUllUlO LUUdl IU lllti first symptoms of Eczema , but it is not long
before the little redness begins to itch and
burn. This is but the beginning , and will
Itching and Burning of lead to suffering and torture almost unen
durable. It is a common mistake to regard
a roughness and redness of the skin as
This Fearful Disease , merely a local irritation ; it is but an indica
tion of a humor in the blood of terrible
Eczema which is more than skin-deep , and can not be reached by local appli
cations of ointments , salves , etc. , applied to the surface. The disease itself ,
the real cause of the trouble , is in the blood , although all suffering is produced
through the skin ; the only way to reach the disease , therefore , is through
the blood.
Mr. Phil T. Jones , of Mixersville , Ind. , writes :
"I had Eczema thirty years , and after a great deal
of treatment my leg was so raw and sore that it gave me
constant pain. It finally broke into a running sore , and
began to spread and grow worse. For the past five or
six years I have suffered untold agony and had given up
all hope of ever being free from the disease'as I have
been treated by some of the best physicians and have
taken many blood medicines , all in vain. With little
faith left I began to take S. S. S. , and it apparently
made the Eczema worse , but I knew that this was the
way the remedy got rid of the poison. Continuing
S. b. S. , the sore healed up entirely , the skin became
clear a'nd smooth , and I was cured perfectly. "
Eczema is an obstinate disease and can not be cured by a remedy which is
only & tonic. Swift's Specific
S. S. S. FOR THE BLOOD
is superior to other blood remedies because it cures diseases which they can
not reach. It goes to the bottom to the cause of the disease and will cure
theVorst case of Eczema , no matter what other treatment has failed. It in
the only blood remedy guaranteed to be free from potash , mercury or any
other mineral , and never fails to cure Eczema , Scrofula , Contagious Blood
Poison , Cancer , Tetter , Rheumatism , Open Sores , Ulcers , Boils , etc. Insist
upon S. S. S. ; nothing can take its place.
Books on these diseases will be mailed free to any address by Swift Spe
cific Company , Atlanta , Georgia.

FICKLE FORTUNE.
Ups and Downs ot the Klondike Gold-
Seekers.
The San Francisco correspondent of
the New York Tribune writes that the
changes of fortune to which typical
Klondike miners are subject was well
illustrated last week when news came
of "Swift Water Bill" Gates' return to
Skaguay "dead broke. " "Swift Water"
gained a name and fortune by piloting
boats through the rapids of the upper
Yukon river. He invested in mines ,
and last year was rated as a million
aire. He was the greatest poker play
er in Dawson , anu he set styles in ha
berdashery. Then in an evil hour he
took a trip to 'Frisco for recreation.
Here he became enamored of a concert
hall singer , whom he married. She
obtained much of his property and
then tried to obtain a divorce. "Swift
Water" then went east and formed
several Klondike companies. Then he
returned here and started for Dawson
with , his wife's sister. Everything
went wrong with him , his sister-in-law
carricatured his wedding on the stage
In Dawson , and when fall came she
started for civilization. "Swift Wat
er" followed her , but on the way out
he lost all his money at poker and is
now stranded at Skaguay. Anothei
Klondike miner who suddenly gained
fortune this summer on Bonanza creek
spent 120,000 In one week In Seattle ,
putting more money In circulation than
that town had seen for a long time.

An attack was lately made on C. F. Collier
of Cherokee , Iowa , that nearly proved fatal.
It came through his kidneys. II is back got so
lame he could not stoop without great pain ,
nor sit in a chair except propped by cushions.
No remedy helped him until he tried Elecffi'J
Bitters which effected such a wonderfM
change that he writes he feels like a new man.
This marvelous medicine cures backache and
kidney trouble , purifies the blood and builds
up your health. Only SDC at McConnell &
Berry's drug store.
Old Dan Rice , the circus clown , is dead , but
the jokes he created more than half a century
ago will live and see active service as long as
time shall last.
He Fooled the Surgeons.
All doctors told Renick Hamilton , of West
Jefferson , O. , after suffering 18 months from
Rectal I'istula , he would die unless a costly
operation was performed ; but he cured him
self with Bucklen's Arnica Salve , the best in
the world. Surest pile cure on earth. 25c a
box , at McConnell & Berry's drug store.
An Iowa man who rescued a xvidow from
drowning was married to her three days later.
Tins may have a tendency to discourage hero
ism in that state.
