n DISCOVERY / of Davis Bros a,

Arcola, Miss, is great believer in the
virtue of s. S. S. He writes, that he
was afflicted with one of the worst
cases of blood poison known to the
human race, and after going through
quite long treatment, finally resorted
to S. S. S., and he is proud to say that
he has been entirely cured, and the
disease thoroughly eradicated from his
system. He sends thanks to the com
pany for their valuable discovery, and
that it is a God-send to the world. For
contagious blood poision s. S. S. is
truly specific Very few cases have
ever resisted its curative properties,
and no one suffering from this disease
or other blood poison should neglect
to give it fair trial. We will mail a
special treatment on contagious blood
poison to all who apply for it free.

An amusing little anecdote is related
about the German Crown Prince, whilst
having a lesson in grammar from his tu-
tor. One is now being told about the
second son of the imperial couple, Prince
Eitel Fritz. The emperor is exceedingly
strict about his sons behavior at table.
Little Prince Eitel Fritz, using his fing-
ers instead of his knife and fork, was cor
rected by his father several times to no
purpose. AT last the emperor's patience
was exhausted and he said, s'Children
who eat with their fingers are like little
dogs that hold their food with their paws.
If you use your fingers again, you must
go under the table, the proper place for
little dogs" The little prince did his ut
most not to forget this time and used his
knife and fork like a man; but all at
once he forgot again and began using
his fingers. ssMarch under the table, y
said his father. Prince Eitel Fritz crept
under as hidden. After little while,
the emperor, thinking the prince very
quiet, lifted up the table cloth and peep
ed underneath. There sat little Prince
Eitel Fritz undressed. His father asked
him what he meant by undressing him
self. The child answered: ssLittle dogs
don't wear clothes; they only have
skin.''-TThe Rock.
