ual1y bends, the bones ache, while de-
crepltude and helplessness prema-
turely take possession of the body.
Under this treatment, it is but short
step from vigor and health to 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 nercuria1 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 S. S. S.,
it was incurab1e. It has always baf-
fled the doctors, and 1T is in this dis
ease that the evils Of mercury and
potash are most. c6rinion, because
these drugs are given in such large
doses in an effort I'd counteract the
poison. While they succeed in bott1ing
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 in other diseases of
the blood. Scroflila, Eczema, Cancer,
Rheumatism, all are given the same
treatment by the ptysicians-1nercury
and potash, and the result as above set
forth is always the same.
We offer 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
Blood Poison, Scrofu1a, Eczema, Rheu-
natisrn, Cancer, or any other disease
of the blood. If you have a blood dis
ease, take a remedy which will not
injure You. Beware of mercury don't
do violence to your system. Don't get

Weather Almanacs.

Some of these almanacs rose to a great
popularity on the strength of one lucky
guess, and I think it is told of Par
trldge's almanac, or some other of the
class, that it owed it's reputation to a
curious prophecy of extraordinary wealth
er for July 81, when hail, rain, snow,
thunder, ETC., were freely indicated
Forgetting that the month had 81 days,
the almanac maker had omitted to in
sert the weather prediction for the last
day, and a boy was sent from the print
ing office to know how the space was to
be filled up. The weather prophet was
too busy to attend to him, but at last in
passion said, "Put down hail, rain,
snow, thunder, anything" and the boy,
taking it literally, told the compositor,
who duly set into type the extraordinary
prediction, and which by freak of ma
ture came true and made the fame and
fortune of the almanac maker. This
story, if not true, is at least ben trovato
and shows the force of the bard s state
ment:
Our indiscretion sometimes serves us well
When our deep plots do pail.
Patrick Murphy published popular
weather almanac, and his fame is said
to have commenced by lucky hit in
one of the earlier issues by which he in
dlcated which would be the coldest day
OF the year. There is a copy of this al
manac for 1888 in the library of the So
clety, and some former owner has evil
IDENTIFY taken the trouble to pencil in the
actual weather opposite to that predict
ed. There We're, according to this anno-
tation, SO incorrect forecasts, 81 doubt
full and the rest correct.
This Patrick Murphy was not mere
charlatan. He had a system, and, though
he differed from Sir Isaac Newton and
the Royal Astronomical society, he gave
much study and research to the subject
of meteoroiogy, as shown by his various
books There was an Astro- -Meteorolog-
ical society as late as 1861.-Nature.
