my throat and mouth were full of sores
and my tongue was almost eaten away;
I had not taken solid food for three
months. My entire body was covered

out rapidly. l was in truly pitiab1e
condition.
81 felt that 1 was incurab1e, and
was in great despair, when friend
recommended S. 8. g., stating that it
would certainly cure me. 1 began its
use, and when had finished the fourth
bottle, 1 began to improve, and by the
time had finished eighteen bottles,
was thoroughly rid of the disease; Of
course, Twas not sure that was cured,
but am now convinced, as no sign
of the disease has ever returned for
four years. S. S. S. is the best blood
remedy In the world, and my cure was
due solely and alone to it."
Contagious blood poison is the most
horrible of all diseases, and has been
appropriately called the curse of man
kind. 1t has always baff1ed the doc
tors, and, until the discovery of S. s. g.,
was incurable.
For fifty years s. S. s. has been cur
ing this terrible disease, even after all
other treatment failed. It Is guaran-
teed purely vegetable, and one thou
sand dollars reward is offered for proof
to the contrary. S. s. s. never fails
to cure contagious blood poison, or
any other disease of the blood. If
you have blood disease, take a REM
edy which will not injure you. Be
ware of mercury; don't do violence
to your system.

Contagious
Blood Poison.

Mr.. Frank B. Martin, who is engaged
in the jewe1ry business at 926 Penn
sy1vania Avenue, Washington City,
where he is well and favorab1y known,
was a 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
bafied 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 recent letter he says: about
four years ago l contracted severe
case of contagious blood poison, and
it was not long before 1 was in a terri
BILE condition. l Immediately placed
myself under treatment of two of the
best physicians in Washington city.
Their treatment, which 1 took faith
fully for six months, cost me just three
hundred dollars, and left me worse than
when 1 began it. Ny condition eau

true of the representatives OF the sec

one that had long impressed me pro-
foundly. The hour was the one which
separates the night from the morning,
the month the one which separates the
old year from the New Year. The Po-
of Camoens who wrote Portuguese and
Spanish with equal facility and felic-

tell us, when he employed both Ian
guages in writing the same poem that
he had one foot in Portugal and the
other in Spain. / am like Camoens,

Such was the way in which the COM
monalty Of New York to which I be-
longed celebrated the advent of the
New Year. The gentry, as I learned
later, celebrated IL with decorum. His
honor, the mayor, for example, held a
levee in the forenoon at his room in
this City Hall. where he received his
fellow citizens, high and low alike,
with urbanity, exchanged the compli-
ments of the season with them.
