clap OF thunder Sunday morning there
was a streak OF fire about 100 or 500 feet
IN length aud one or two feet In width
Immediately after Il struck the earth It
disappeared IN m view. leaving a smoke
issuing from the ground for several min
yates. shortly after the spectators had
recovered from their fright they examined
the ground as Well as they could, but
owing to the fact that there was about a
foot of water on the surface, they could
not discover any traces OF anything, hut
as soon as the water drains CH they will
examine the ground more closely. IL they
find anything to explain this freak Of
nature | viii send you further particulars.

Whatever may be said about the pub
lications OF Rev. Irl r. Hicks. by those
who do not fully understand the facts,
there is no denying the truth that his
paper and Almanac have come to stay
His splendid journal, Word and Works, is
now entering its tenth year, largely in
creased in circulation and in every sway
improved. until it deserves the national
reputation it has attained. His 1897
Almanac is now ready and is by far the
finest and most beautiful he has vet is
sued. 1t contains los pages, including
cover artistically printed in colors, and
is filled from back to back with just what
is wanted in every shop, office and home
in America. One feature of the Almanac
for 1897 is series OF ID original, beau
tifully engraved star maps, with explain
atory chapters, which could not be
bought for less than five dollars in any
work on astronomy. As Mr.. Hicks has
SO correctly and faithfully warned the
public of coming droughts, floods, cold
waves, billiards, tornadoes and cyclones,
in the years passed, aside from other va
ried and splendid features of his paper
and Almanac, these considerations alone
should prompt every family to subscribe
at once for 1897. The Almanac is only
25cts. a copy. Word and Works is one
dollar year, and a copy OF the fine AL
manac goes as premium with every
yearly subscription. Write to Word and
Works Publishing Co., ST. Louis, Mo.

Offensive
Catarrh.

Catarrh is seemingly one of the
most complicated of ailments, and
enc which the doctors are absolutely
unable to cure. The reasons for
THIS are easily explained. Catarrh is
blood disease, and only a blood
remedy can effect it. The various
sprays, doucfes ard washes which
are employed as a local treatment,
may, for a time, alleviate the
trouble. but no one ever knew of
such treatment producing a cure.
They can not reach the scat of the dis
case, as the experience of many
sufferers will prove; nothing can do
SO except 4 real blood remedy.
in The treatment of Catarrh, S. S.
S. has demonstrated the fact that it
reaches deep-seated diseases, which
other remedies can not touch.
Mr.. Chas. A. Parr, the leading wall
paper dealer, of Athens, Ga, writes:
For months suffered from a severe
case of catarrh. The many offensive

symptoms were accompanied by
severe pains in the head l took sew
eral kinds of medicines recommended
for catarrh, and used various local ap-
plications, but the disease had become
SO deep-seated that they had no effect
whatever. l was alarmed at my con-
ditio11, as 1 knew this disease invari--
ably descended to the lungs, ending

S. S. S. (Swift's Specifc), and after two
months l was perfectly we'll, and
have never felt any effects of the
disease SINCE
S. S. S. is the only blood remedy
which it is impossible to initiate. There
is a substitute for most of them, for
they are all alike-contain the same
ingredients, and are made in the same
manner. But there is no substitute
for S. S. S., as it is in every way diff
ferent from every other blood remedy
offered to the public. It is natures own
remedy, being made from roots and
herbs gathered from the, forests, and
contains not a particle of mercury,
potash Or other drug. 1t is not drug

ent can be obtained from a chemists
