MRS. JOSEPHINE PoLHILL,

Mrs. Josephine Polhill, of Due West,
S. c., was for years a sufferer from
this distressing complaint, and has
learned by experience its tortures.
She says:
"For years l was the victim of the
worst case of catarrh that I ever
heard of. l was treated by several
doctors, and took numerous medicines
claiming to cure the disease, but in
stead of being benefited my condi-
ton grew worse steadily.
The trouble became so deep-seated
that l was entirely deaf in one ear.
1t is difficult to describe my condition,
but some idea of the ravages of the
disease can be obtained when l state
that all the inside of my nose, includ-
ing part of the bone sloughed off. It
can be readily understood how offen-
sive all this was, and how unbearable
my condition became. When the
disease had gone this far the physi-
clan gave me up as incurable, and
told me l would never be any better.
Reading of many similar cases be-
ing cured by S. S. S., l determined to
try it as a last resort. l soon discov-
cred that all my former treatment
had been wrong, as the disease was in
the blood, and only a blood remedy
could cure it. began to improve at
once, and grew better as l continued
to take S. S. S. 1t seemed to get at
the seat of the disease, and after a
few weeks treatment 1 was entirely
cured, and for more than seven years
have had no sign of the disease"
Catarrh is one of the deep-seated
blood diseases, and only a thorough
blood remedy will have any effect
upon it. S. S. S. is the only blood
remedy that &c ouarau4aad

Y RAYS AND DIAMONDS.

The X ray is always turning up in
some new phase. Now it is found that
If can he applied to the detection Of i'm
citation gems. AS is we'll konwn, the
manufacture of imitation gems has been
carried to such perfection that even an
expert may be deceived. 1t was not long
ago that one of our local jewelers. was
taken in by some imitation amethysts.
The stones were shown him and they
certainly looked very handsome. 1t was
only when they came to be set that the
workman discovered the fraud from the
softness of the psuedo gems.
BY means of ROntgen's ray shadow
graph can be taken of gems, and the
result is patent at once. The ray passes
through the real diamond, while the
imitation diamond shows as black as
night.
The ray can not only detect the va
rious crystalline gems, but it can also
detect true and imitation jet. The rays
pass through real jet, showing but a
faint image or shadOgraph, while imita-
ton jet is absolutely opake.
In the future it is very evident that
every jewelers. store will have to be
supplied with the means of taking a
shadowgraph, or with Horoscope.
Angelina, when Edwin presses his five
dollar diamond on her finger, will skip
off and detect the fraud and give Edwin
the mitten in a very short time.
If the x ray puts an end to sham
jewellery it will have done one good
thing at least. Sham gems, sham gold,
indeed sham of any kind, is to be de
spised, and anything that enables the
world to expose the sham is of real
benefit to the human race. The X ray
is trotting along, in great shape; it is
quite on the cards that it may one Of
these days chronicle our thoughts. This
would be rather awkward, for up to the
present it has been the aim of mankind
to use language to conceal thought.

the point of view of the law.
But the most fragrant breach of the
law is going, to occur at the Eleventh Of
June races. Here are a number of
horses entered, each of whom has had
an entrance fee paid, with the distinct
object of winning a purse. That is, the
owner of the horse puts up his horses

the speed of other horses, plus their
entrance fee, with the hope Of winning

that is not gambling under the law, as
it now stands, we would like to know
very much what is?
The attention of the Marshal and the
Attorney General is called to this mat
ter. 1t is no use having statutes on the
statute books unless they are properly
carried out. 1t is no use hauling in
half a dozen Cinnamon and allowing
the wealthy and important people of the
city to go free.
We shall expect to see very many of
our prominent citizens occupying tenn
porary quarters in the ''calaboose" If
the Marshal only does his duty. There
is very evidently an Intention on the
part of the Jockey Club to entice the
law abiding portion of our community
to break the law. They might even have
enticed us, but we feel virtue triumph
ant-and have handed over our little
wad to the office devil. If he gets
caught-never mind-he deserves some
punishment on general principles.
1t is to be hoped that the Marshal will
do his duty and stop gambling in any
form. The point put forward is thor
oughly sound. The gambling on the
Eleventh of June is open and patent,
even if not a single citizen wagers a
dime upon the races. However, the av-
erage citizen will, and take the risk.

THOSE LEGISLATIVE MISTAKES.

While roaming around the wilds of
the Hawaii forests, A. q. Loebenstein
has been bordering over the sins Of the
Legislature After due deliberation he
has come to the conclusion that the
Registration Act is good for nothing,
and the legislators have not been using
their jaw bones for the public good
With ali due respect to Mr.. Loeben!
STEMS opinions, we believe Representa-
tive Bond in his reply to Mr.. Loeben-
stein has hit the nail square on, the
head. Mr.. Loebenstein's forethOughts
have come afterwards, and as usual he
gives expression to them in most
caustic manner. We are not prepared
to champion the Registration Act as
the best scheme ever invented, but it
is an experiment we'll worth trying. In
order to give a fair trial the law re-
quires the cooperation of the more in
teIligent classes. The thumb mark can
we'll be partially eliminated, after
cease trying to make political capital
out of the measure, the people generally
will accept registration without a
thought of being downtrodden and
browbeaten.
Looking at the matter from the stand
point taken by Mr.. EmmeIuth, the
country has to do one of two things
accept the registration of citizens or
take the bit in its teeth and wipe out
Oriental immigration. Certainly the
last proposition is not practicable OF
possible under the existing treaties
The people OF the country have been
bowling that something should be done
Now something has been done,
and still some of the people howl.
Which is simply another proof of the
fact that some of the people of this
country are so thoroughly taken up
with their own private interests that
they can't stop to give proper attention
to questions that are of vital interest to
the country If ever there was a vital
problem to solve in this country, it is
the labor question. And yet the Labor
Commission seems to have died nat
ural death.
Mr.. Loebenstein criticizes the Legis-
lature because it has not given the
measures brought before it the proper
theoretical or practical investigation,
and at the same time, in this feature,
the words he uses against the Legisla-
ture might be turned back upon him
self. Some of our good people ought to
learn that it is easier to tear down than
it is to build up, and if we are to build,
every man needs to put on a conserva-
tive and logical thinking cap. If the
Legislature were not open to a certain
amount of criticism, the members
could get life positions in dime mu-
scum as men that never made legisla-
tive mistakes. 1t is well, however, for
our friends to call to mind that there
are sins of omission and commission
outside the Legislature.

One of the notable facts Of religious
history is that the more the followers
of certain creed are prosecuted for
their belief the more closely they hold
to the tenets of the faith. An example
of this is given by writer in the Bap-
fist Missionary Magazine, who remarks
that the most notable thing about the
massacres in Armenia is not the ferocity
of the Turks, but the constancy of the
Armenians to their faith. 1t is stated
by long time resident of Armenia that
every one of the fifty thousand who
have been slain might have saved their
lives by denying Christianity and be-
coming Mohammedans. Thousands of
the Armenians have done this, but that
so many thousands have refused to
apostatize, and have remained stead
fast to Christianity even in the imper-
feet form in which they know It, is one
of the most inspiring examples of de-
votion furnished by the history OF
Christianity.
