When once the tobacco habit gets its
grip on a man, it destroys his nerve ana
will power, and robs him of his only means
of defense. His life is sapped out of him,
his manhood destroyed, his brain dead
ened, until he becomes sallow, skinny,
1istleSS wreck of a man, his existence
living death, and himself an object of dis
gust instead OF love and affection to those
who are dear to him.
Every day the hold grows stronger and
demands more victims. Many are in the
last stages of tobacco-poiSoning others
are only beginning TO get into the first.
All need help, at once, without delay.
There is. Only one-No-To-Bac-the
wonderful guaranteed medicine. Even
after years of slavery No-To-Bac cures
without fail. NobodyS case could be worse

best be appreciated, when I state that
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
with red b1otches, my hands and feet
were sore and my hair was falling
out rapidly. I was in a truly pitiable
condition.
81 felt that I was incurab1e, and
was in great despair, when a friend
recommended S. S. S., stating that it
would certainly cur me. 1 began its
use, and when I had finished the fourth
bottle, 1 began to improve, and by the
time I had finished eighteen bottles, I
was thoroughly rid of the disease; of
course, 1 was not sure that 1 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 baffied the doc
tors, and, until the discovery of S. S. s.,
was i~ncurab1e.
For fifty years S. S. s. has been cur
ing this terrible disease, ever after all
other treatment failed. 1t 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 a blood disease, take a rem
edy which will not injure you. Be
ware of mercury; don't do violence
to your system.

Blood Poison

Mr.. Frank B. Martin, who is engaged
in the jewe1ry business at o26 Penn
sylvania Avenue, Washington City,
where he is well and f~avorab1y 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
bathed 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

Atlanta. Ga. March %.

Atlanta, Ga. March %.
Alexander Carr, who is to be
hanged here on Friday. confess
ed today that he has been sham>
ming insanity for more than a
year. He shot and killed James
King. When his trial come on
Carr pretended to be insane. He
was twice examined by experts
who pronounced him sane. He
allowed his hair to grow long
and never spoke to any one ex>
cept his lawyers. He has had
two trials and was convicted both
times and has twice been sent
enced to death. The strain be-
came too great on him as the day
of his execution approached and
this afternoon he sent for Sheriff
Barnes and confessed. The
sheriff took a witness with him.
Carr was having his hair cut at
the time the sheriff and his CONS
panion arrived. Mr.. Barnes
spoke to him and said: Carr,
you are looking unusually well
to-day"
YES" replied Carr: pretty
well for a man who has under
gone what I have"
The barber stepped back, and
Carr, almost as straight as he
was when he fired the fatal shot
at Capt. King. sat back in the
chair and said: "lhave been look
ing forward for a long time for
the coming affair. I was not
afraid to die, aud am not afraid
now, but / want time to prepare
to meet my God" He then re-
lated his experience with the
doctors who recently examined
him. Looking at the sheriff with
a suspicion of a smile on his
face, Carr pointed TO a hole in
the wall ard said: .Mr. Barnes
have you not been watching me
through that hole" Sheriff
Barnes replied that be had not;
that he did not know that the
hole was there, and then the
jailor informed Carr that the hole
did not go through the wall.
WELL" exclaimed Carr ssail I've
got to say that hole has given
me much uneasiness." The con.
demned man said: MY father
and my lawyers are entirely i'm
nocent in this matter. They are
firmly of the belief that I am ins
sane. When l get on the gals
lows, [ shall make a statement
that will exonerate the murder"

Science has c~onclusively and au>

certain functions, she excels man

may truly be termed the variant

there is no true argument in the
world against the equality of the
female with the male sex.
