Deacon S. V. White wears straw hat
in summer, but the rest of the year a
soft black hat covers his head. The
memory of Wall street runneth not back
to the time when Deacon White was
ever seen in any other kind of hat than
those named. If he were to possess
silk hat he would probably from habit
try to double it up and put it in his
pocket. He sits on his straw hats thu
same as on his soft hats.-New Yorl

From Bad TO Worse,

The ordinary treatment of conta-
gious blood poisoning is to drive one
poison from the system by introducing
another. The result in most cases has
been that which usually follows a leap
from the frying pan into the fire. To
put it mildly, mercurial and other
mineral poisonings have disadvantages
which are hardly less serious than
contagious blood poison. In either
case the system is wrecked ; and yet
there is no reason why humanity
should continue to suffer. 1t is the
Office Of S. S. S. to cure contagious
blood poisoning. For that di'ease the
medicine is surely specific. And it
is also its Office to cure mercurial and
other mineral poisoning. In short s.
S. S. is the great blood purifier. 1t de-
stroys the germs OF the contagious dis.
ease, and expels from the system all
forms of mineral poisoning. 1t re.
stores health and strength to the SUI.
