Send to Blood Balm Ca, Atlanta, for book Of most convincing proof.
 James Hill, Atlanta, Go., writes. ''My two sons were afflicted with blood poison, which doctors said was hereditary. They both broke out in sores and eruptons winch B. B. B. promptly controlled and finally cured completely"
 Mrs. s. NJ. Williams, Sandy Texas, writes: My three poor afflict- ed children. who inherited blood poison, have improved rapidly af- ter use of B. B. E. Itls godsend.

NEW ORLEANS, Dee. 6-4 A. NJ. At 12:45 o'clock this morning Hon. Jefferson Davis, cx.President of the Confederate States, died at the residence of hls lifelong friend ]. |. Payne.
 From the beginning of his fatal illness Mr. Davis had insisted that his case was nearly or quite hope less, though the dread of pam or fear ot deathnever appeared to take the slightest hold upon his spirits, which were brave and even buoy ant from the beginning of his attack.
 In vain dld the doctors strive to impress upon hin that his health was improving. He steadily insis ted that there were no improve ments. but, with Christian resigna- ton, he was content to accept what ever Providence had in store for him. Only once d;a he wavet in his belief that his case showed im- proyrment, and that was at an early hour yesterday morning. when lie playtulIy remark od to Payne:
 Il am afraid that 1 shall be com pelled to agree with the doctors for once, and admit that l am a little better"
 Al 4aT lang tte favorable symp- toms contihucd. and late n the at- ternoon, as late as o'clock, Mrs. Davls sent such a cheering message to Mrs. Stamps and Mr ard Mrs. Farrar that they decided, for the first time since Mir. Davis has been taken i'll, to attend the French opera.
 At 6 o'clock last evening. with out any assignabie cause, Mir. Da- vls was seized with q congestive chlll, winch seemed to absolutely crush the vitality out of hlS already enfeebled body. So weak was Mir. Davls that the violence of assault soon subsided, for lack of vitality upon which to prey.
 From that moment to h1s death. the history of his case was that of gradual sinking At ' o'clock Mrs. Davls administered some medicine. but the ex-President declined to re- ceive the whole dose. She urged upon him the necessity of taking the remainder, but, putting it aside With the genttest Of gestures, he whispered "Pray excuse me-
 These were his last words. Grad ully he grew weaker and weaker, i but never for an instant seemed to lose consciousness. Laying peace i fully upon his bed, and wIthout a trace of pain in hls look, he remain ed for honrs, silently clasping and tenderly carossing hIs wife's hand, and, with undaunted Christian spirit, he awaited the end.
 From the moment of the dread assault of inc congcstIve chill, those gathered arCUnd his bedside, who had been watching and noting with painful interest every change ot symptom for the past month. knew well that the dread messenger was even at the dcor. A bout halt-past 10 o'clock Associate Justice Fer ner went to the French Opera House to call to Mr. Davis bedside Mr. and Mrs. Farrar and Mrs. Stamps. As soon as the message reached them, they hurried to the house where the ex- Presid cnt was dying By l1:30 o'clock there were assem. led in the death chamber Mrs. Da- wis Drs GhailIe and Bickham, As sotlate Justice and Mrs Fenner, Miss Nann1e Smith, grardniece of
