To all such we would say there is no law that will compel your parents to fit you for busi ness life, but if your inclination leads you to seek that field we would strongly advise that you take course at the Yale Business College, of New Haven, as their graduates are much in demand among business men.

 Gentlemen-I can cheerfully and truth- fully say that s. s. S. is the greatest blood purifier on earth. In 1884 contracted blood poison. Physicians treated me with no good results. I took half dozen differ ent kinds of blood medicines, but, without receiving any permanent relief l was in- duced to try s. S. S. I began the first bottle with the gravest doubts of success. I had been so often deceived. But im- provement came, and I continued its use and have healthy family. No trace of the disease is seen. Swift's Specific did all this for me, and l am grateful. Yours truly, J. S. STRADER.
