Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, Of Marshfeld, Mo-,
writes: "For six years have been a
sufferer from a scrofulous affection of
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, ID. c.,
Springfield. Ill, and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months constant treatment here, NV
physician urged me to submit TO a re-
moval of the gland. Atthis critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside a deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its use. Before had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now IL is entirely gone. though 1 am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had only used your S.S.S. long ago,
would have escaped years OF misery
and saved over SI5o."
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the only
real blood remedy; il gets at the root OF
the disease and forces il ont perma-
nently.

passed by the Legislature, which pro-
vldes for the payment Of rewards TOT

There are In It several important
ohanges from the former statute, the
most notable Of which Ia that II makes
compulsory the action OF the county
commissioners In Offering rewards In
ceftsln cases.
In some respects We consider the
law a bad one, for the reason that II
includes among some OF the objects
Of its sRmity birds especially that
should not be destroyed; and we be-
Ileve that n the law operates In this
respect ~ II was Intended to do by those
who urged these special features there
will be result not anticipated by
them, viz an increase Of pests which
these birds would have kept under
control. This evil can be remedied Ia
a degree, however, by discriminating

exercised In this regard, as We believe
