are as sure that Hoods S~arsaparilla saved
our son Joseph's life as that the sun shines.
Five years ago on board ship our three boys
were y~accinated. Joseph had a very sore arm,
SO bad at one time that we were afraid it would
have to be taken off. At length it seemed to get
well, but about two months after, he began to
complain of soreness and pain in the vaccinated
arm. He had occasionally shown some signs OF
s~crofula, but nothing serious. His arm, how
ever, grew worse and worse and became swollen
and covered with sores. The Inflammation and
sores also spread all over his body, and he
was q mass of corruption,
Pitiakle to Behold,
A misery to himself and almost breaking our
hearts with anguish over his dreadful condition.
Many a time did 1 wish he was dead and out
Of his misery.
afThe eruption was especially severe back OF his
ears and over his head and the lower part OF
his face. We had to cut off all his hair we
could, as it was impossible to comb through the
mass of hard crust and matter. Physicians did
him no good, n three specialists at the Eye
and Ear Hospital said
Nothing Could be Done.
They said it was a blood disease caused by
impure vaccination. One night | happened
to be reading in a paper about Hoods Sarsapae
rilla, and decided to try it.

grow any worse; on the second, we noticed that
he was improving, and, slowly but surely, the

Greatest Remedy Of the Times
Within Reach Of All.

Spring is the time when the blood and
provement.
The practice OF taking a spring medicine
is therefore founded on a need of he body,
long recognized; and the wisdom of many
years has determined on spring as the best
time to arous the blood to healthy action.
Paine's celery compound stands easily at
the head of all spring medicines. You hear
it on the street, you read it in the medical
journals; give it a good trial and o will
go about declaring it SO yourself.
Paine's celery compound is the discovery
of Edward E. Phelps, NJ. D., LII. D., of Dart
mouth college. 1t is no doubt the greatest
remedy of modern times. None of all the
medicines prescribed by physicians has
caused within the past years so much in
quiry and favorable discussion at meetings
of medical societies and in medical jour-
mails.
Paine's celery compound is one of those
wonderful remedial agents which, origin
ating with the very highest authority, has
been at once appreciated and received by
the great mass of the people.
AS NJ. Bfcat, the great French pathologist.
says, "nearly every great medicine has be-
come a popular remedy before being
adopted or even tried by physicians" But
Paine's celery compound had the indorse-
ment of physicians at the start.
AS a spring remedy it stands head and
shoulders above any yet prescribed. 1t is
food for the brain, and nourishment for the
blood. 1t lakes people we'll. 1t cures
where everything else fails.
Paine's celery compound is within the
reach of all, ana the thousands of testimon-
ials to it's unrfvalled virtues that have been
published from time to time nave come
from men and women in every station in
life. No remedy was ever Endorsed by so
many men prominentin public life; zone
ever had the praise of SO many working
people.
1t makes people we'll.

The heavy rain yesterday flooded the streets
in the Greenville section, and the need of better

west side, where there are no sewers at all, the
streets looked as though a food invaded them.
How the residents manage to get out OF their

and the streets are almost as bad as on the

The origin of the title of "a Parlor Match is
interesting. While Chas. Hoyt was writing the

cudgeling their brains for a name of the piece.
Hundreds suggested themselves, all of which
were rejected. In despair, Hoyt was approached
nv Messrs. Mann, Evans and Hoey. 'That'll
come out in the wash - said the playwright.
ssWaIt until it is finished "As you say re-
piled Mann, pulling q cigar from one of his

he exclaimed: Hang it, there it isl' and the

Rapid Transit Concession
1t is generally un derstood that the
rapid transit corporations, which are
seeking from the Street and Water
Board the use of the streets for
trolley lines, are willing to pay the
city as a compensation a percentage
of their gross receipts. Negotiations,
we believe, are now in progress to de-
termine just how much that per-
centage shall be.
The companies, there is reason to
believe, are quite willing to pay hive
per cent. for the privileges they ask.
This is certainly not too much, and
vet there is reason to fear the bargain
may be made on the basis of a two or
three per cent payment into the city
treasury. We hope the Street and
Water Commissioners will steer clear
of such a mistake.
The people are watching this mat
ter very closely. They will not be
satisfied with any nonsense. They
know the value of the franchi ses
which are aboutto be given out, and
they know that a two per cent pay
ment would be a contemplate farce.
They will be apt to make things ex-
ceedingly disagreeable for the Street
and Water Board if any such non
sense is INDUCED in. A job of this
sort will mean Democratic
defeats in the near future. The
people are getting a disagreeable
habit of voting the Republican ticket
in this city, and it will not improve
matters to fritter away the city's
rights.
Mayor Wanser may take a hand in
the game, too. He may veto any
concessions which are not fair and
honest in all respects, and there are
other very disagreeable things he may
do. also.
Be careful, gentlemen; five per cent
on gross receipts paid into the city
treasury is the least sum you can af-
ford to sell the use of the streets for.
The eyes of the people are on you.
