GOOD ADVICE.

Two weeks from next Tuesday you want to go to the polls, take an official ballot, go into one of the booths, out of sight of the curious throng, and make just one cross at the head of the column marked Republican When you have done this and the ballot has been voted, you can go home with a clear conscience and the knowledge that you have assisted in securing good, economical government for the county for two years at least.-Arizona Citizen.

MR.. J. A. LESEUR.

But like many other busy men, Mr..
LeSeur was overtaken by Rheumatism
and soon his strength gave way to a
condition of helplessness. This dread
disease produces more agony, he says,
than can we'll be described. For
years l have suffered with Sciatic
rheumatism and often felt as if a
small piece of my spine had been
taken out, also as if a fragment of
bo1nbshe11 had passed thrcI Ugh my left
hip. When l would sit down, l could
not straighten up for several minutes.
and then only at the expense of great
pain. l could get absolutely no relief,
though many remedies were tried.
Someone recommended S. S. S. and l
was almost III despair when / beganits
use. In three days, however, l was
so greatly relieved that I felt very
tisnn. The disease grew less painful
as I continued the S. S. s., and very
Don disappeared entirely. S. S. S.
also proved to be a fine tonic, as / now
have more appetite, and feel better
than yer before, in my life. cannot
say too much in praise of 5. S. s."
Rheumatism is a condition of the
blood which has always baff1ed the
doctors, and it is a popularity that
those who once have it are sure to al
ways be subject to its attacks from
time to time. The reason of this is
that the doctors are only able to give
temporary relief, but cannot rid the
system of the disease permanently.

Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfeld, Mo-,
writes: "For six years I have been a
sufferer from a serofu1ous affection OF
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, D. G.,
Springfield, ILL.,, and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re-
nova, of the gland. Atthis critical mo-
ment a friend recommended SIS,
and laying aside a deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, l be
gan its use. Before I had used n bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had 1 only used your SIS. long ago,
1 would nave escaped years of misery
and saved over $3.50
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
fruit1ess or fatal. SIS. Is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root Of
the disease and forces it out perma-
nently.
