Giving up entirely his business, he
went to Cincinnati and remained for
several months under treatment of a
celebrated specialist. He was after
wards treated in ElmiTa, New York,
where the cancer was twice removed,
but he declares that death was prefer
able to such treatment. 1t returned,
however, and the disease seemed to be
of a most viru1ent type; the doctors af-
forded absolutely no relief, the cancer
spreading all the time, eating out en-
tire1y the partition in the nose, as well
as the upper lip and gums.
''SoIne months ago." he says, 81 be-
gan to use S. S. S., though admit with
little faith that it could cure me, but to
my surprise, a few bottles afforded
some relief. Thus encouraged, 1 de-
terInined to give the medicine a thor
ough trial, and it was not long before
the progress of the disease seemed
checked. 1 continued the medicine,
and remarkable as it may seem, l am
cured and feel like have new life. /
can talk more distinctly, for the flesh
has begun to grow back around my
teeth, where it has been literally eaten
away. S. S. S. is the most wonderful
remedy in the world, and as my condi-
ton is pretty generally known, every
body will agree that the cure is indeed
a most remarkable one. S. S. S. has
given me new hold on life, and l
shall certainly sing its praises the re-
mainder of my days"
The above is but one of many re-
markable cures being daily made by
S. S. S. Cancer is becoming alarm
ing1y prevalent, and manifests itself
in such variety of forms, that any
sore or scab, it matters not how small,
which does not readily heal up and
disappear, may well be regarded with
suspicion. We will gladly send to any
address, full accounts of several other
cures fully as remarkable as this one.
For real blood troubles, S. S. S. has
no equal. 1t wipes out completely the
most obstinate cases of blood diseases,
which other remedies do not seem to
touch. 5. 9. S. gets at the root of the
disease, and forces it out permanently
5. S. S. is guaranteed purely vegeta'
bic, and is positive and pernanent
cure for Scrofu1a, Eczema, Cancer,
rheumatism and all traces of bad
blood. Our valuable books will be

His
Gone!

There is not a more familiar figure
on the streets of Atlanta than the man
whose picture is here shown. Every
body knows him by sight and it will be
remembered that years ago he began
to wear on his upper lip, just under
his nose, a small piece of court plas-
ter, not larger than a silver half dime;
this plaster he has worn constantly,
though it gradually increased in size,
as everybody knows, until it was as
large as a silver dollar. This man is
NJ. NJ. Nicholson, who resides at the
corner of Anderson and Curran SITS.
1t was thirty years ago, that he first
noticed a tiny scale, like piece OF
wheat bran, on his lip. He at first
thought it only fever blister, but 1t
was not long before his cheeks became
diseased and painful to the touch, and
he soon realized that he had fallen a
victim to that most dreadful disease
Cancer. 1t rapidly increased in size
and severity, and remembering that
his father had cancer when he died,
and that his uncle also lost his life by
this terrible disease, which destroyed
his tongue, throat and left eye, Mr..
Nicholson became thoroughly alarmed,
and realized that his condition was
more than serious.

Should Plays Be Printed?

Moliere objected to tho printing Of his
plays on the ground that they were
meant to be acted on the stage, with the
costumes, scenery and illusions per-
tanning thereto, and not to be read in
the closet. 1t was also inferred that
Shakespeare entertained the same notion
as Moliere, seeing how Indifferent he
was as to the fate Of his plays so long as
they were popular on the stage. There
is also the explicit declaration of Hey
wood in the following terms:
ut hath been no custom in me of all
other men courteous readers) to COM
nit my plays to the press. The reason,
though some may attribute to my own
insufficiency, had rather subscribe in
that to their severe censure than by
seeking to avoid the imputation Of weak
ness to incur greater suspicion Of hon.
esty, for, though some have used dou-
and after to the press, here proclaim
myself ever faithful to the first and
never guilty Of the last"
The author of the most successful
comedy Of modern times exhibited the
same Indifference to- or rather dislike
of, the printer. When 1.-THE School For
Scandal" met with SO brilliant recep-
ton, from its first appearance on May
8, 1777, Ridgway, the publisher, agreed
with Sheridan as to its publication, but
he never succeeded in getting the manu-
script. He applied to the author in vain,
and at length got an answer. Sheridan
said that he had been 10 years endeavor-
ing to satisfy himself with the style Of
the play, but had not yet succeeded.
The printing of the play was done in
dependently of the author. He presented
a manuscript copy Of it to his married
sister, Mrs. Lefanu, at Dublin, to be
disposed of for her own advantage to the
managers Of the Dublin theater. This
brought her 100 guineas and free admis-
sions to the theater, and it was from the
manuscript thus procured that the Dub
lin edition was printed. Notes and
Queries.

Ex-Minister Scruggs, who is acting as
counsel for the Venezuelan government,
says the effect OF the clause making fifty
years essential to constitute "settled dis
tricts" in the Venezuelan boundary dis
pute will be to give Venezuela the entire
Parma gold country, which is the most
valuable tract in Venezuela, and also the
entire Orinoco river country, including
the waterway itself, the banks, the mouth
and the islands of the mouth. The Brit
ish have a coalng station and rendezvous
on one OF these islands, but Mr.. Scruggs
says the British occupancy began in 1856
and cannot possibly come within the
fifty-vear term OF the settlement. In his
opinion the evidence will narrow the
British tifty-year occupancy to the small
strip of land, triangular in form, between
the Ecuyuni and Pomeron rivers. This
is far to the east and south of the valu-
able Orinoco and Parma country which
constitutes the great issue at stake.
