Contagious
Blood Poison.

Mr.. Frank B. Martin, who is engaged
in the jewelry business at 926 Penn
sylvania Avenue, Washington City,
where he is well and favorably known,
was q victim of that worst form of dis
ease-contagious blood poison. He
realized that his life was about to be
blasted, for this terrible disease has
baff1ed the skill of the physicians for
ages, and they have never yet been
able to effect a cure. His mental
despair can better be imagined than
described.
In 4 recent letter he says: about
