A GOLDEN SMILE.

How the Parade Appeared From the
3 Crowded Housetops.
San Francisco smiled yesterday when
she saw 5000 Mckinley voters in line,
and her smile was golden.
Not being the season for the poppies of
California which also are golden, the
mammoth yellow chrYsanthemum was the
flower of the parade. Most OF the men
who marched over the rough and uneven
pavement OF Market street, one of the

flower as a buttonhoIe bouquet all by it

When Major Mclaughlin. Chairman of
the Republican State Central Committee,
introduced Hon. Samuel M. Shortridge as
the Chairman of the meeting, there was an
outburst OF spontaneous applause which
Tor several moments interrupted further
proceedings. Mr.. Shortridge's opening
sentence renewed and redoubled this en-
thusissm, for when he said that "San
francisco is safe. California is safe and
the Union is safe for Mckinley" he
touched the keynote OF the great universal
human heart throbbing to the music OF
patriotism and enlightenment.
With few well chosen words Mr..
Shortridge gave the true text of the cam
paign and the evening. Mr.. Shortridee
said:

"This is land of free men. Abraham

rupted by a spontaneous outburst of ap-
plause that lasted several minutes. When
all was quiet he continued: Abraham

Perhaps to many minds my style of discus

When these wise words of Mr.. Reed are
presented to the readers of THE CALL, and
while the people are perusing these stately
periods, SO replete with facts and teeming
with indisputable. irrefutable arguments,
the peoples of every nation of the world
will be enjoying the same privilege.
Nor is the universal recognition of this
mastery effort undeserved. 1t is a speech

Bottled Up!

1t certainly is disheartening to pa
tient to find that the treatment he is
given for disease is more disastrous
case, however, with the usual treat
ment given for diseases of the blood.
Notwithstanding the great progress
made in many branches of medicine,
the doctors have failed absolutely to
find a successful treatment for blood
poison, and the many diseases having
their origin in the blood. They give
but one kind of medicine, they know
but one treatment, and whether in
the form of powder, pill or liquid, the
doctors prescription is always the
same-potash or mercury.
Too much cannot be said of the harm
full and disastrous effects of these drugs.
The doctors are unable to rid the sys-
tenn of the poison, and direct their
efforts toward covering up the symp-
toms from view. There is but one eff
feet to be obtained from potash and
mercury-they bottle up the poison
and dry it up in the system, but it
must be remembered that they dry up
the marrow in the bones at the same
time, gradually consuming the vital
ity. Those disfguring copper-colored
sp1otches are but indications Of worse
results to follow. No sooner has the
system taken on the full effects Of this
powerful drug than that suppleness
and elasticity of the joints gives way
to a stiffness, followed by the racking
pains of rheumatism. The form grad

ual1y bends, the bones ache, while de-
crepitude and helplessness prema-
turely take possession of the body.
Under this treatment, it is but a short
step from vigor and health to d pair
of crutChes. With this wreck OF the
system often comes falling of the hair
and eyebrows, loss of finger nails,
and decay of the bones-a condition
most horrible. This is no overdrawn
picture, for the world to-day is full OF
these hobbling mercurial wrecks.
Contagious Blood Poison is the most
horrible of all diseases, and has been
appropriately called the curse of man
kind. Until the discovery of 5. S. s,
it was incurable. 1t has always bat-
fed the doctors, and it is i'll this dis
ease that the evils of mercury and
potash are most common, because
these drugs are given in such large
doses in an effort to Counteract the
poison. While they succeed Ill bottling
up the poison in the system, it always
breaks forth again, attacking some
delicate organ, frequently the mouth
and throat, filling them with eating
sores. S. S. S. is the only known cure
for this terrible disease.
1t is the same Ill other diseases OF
the blood. Scrofula, Eczema, Cancer,
Rheumatism, all are given the same
treatment by the physicians-mercury
and potash, and the result as above set
forth is always the same.
We offer a remedy purely vegetable,
powerful in its effect, yet harmless IN
every way For fifty years S. S. S.
has been curing blood diseases, from
the most violent to the mildest case,
after all other treatment failed. 1t Is
guaranteed purely vegetable, and one
thousand dollars reward is offered for
proof to the contrary. 1t is real
blood remedy for real blood troubles,
and never fails to cure Contagious

of the blood If you have blood dis
ease, take a remedy which will not
iniure you. Beware Of mercury don't
