Mr.. Frank B. Martin, WHO'S engaged
in the jewelry business at 926 Penn
sylvania Avenue, Washington City,
where he is we'll and favorably known,
was victim of that worst form Of dis

baffled the skill of the physicians for
ages, and they have never yet been
able TO effect a cure. His mental

described.
In recent letter he says; About

case of contagious blood poison, and
it was not long before l was in a terri

myself under treatment of two Of the
