Contagious Blood Poison.

MT. Frank B.

He realized that his life was about to be blasted, for this terrible disease has batt1ed 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 a recent letter he says: "About four years ago l contracted a severe case of contagious blood poison, and it was not long before I was in a terri ble condition. I immediately placed myself under treatment of two of the best physicians in Washington city. Their treatment, which I took faith fully for six months, cost ne just three hundred dollars, and left me worse than when I began it. My condition can
