1t certainly Is disheartening to a pa
tient to find that the treatment he is
given for a disease Is more disastrous
than the disease itself. Such is the
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
lind 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
ful and disastrouse effects of these drugs.
The doctors are unable to rid the sys-
tenn of the poison, and direct their
efforts toward covering mp 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 1t 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 disfiguring copper-colored
splotches 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 stiffness, followed by the racking
pains of Rheumatism. The form grad

these statements were true. and
never wayered in his belief to the
hour of his death, and regarded
this wonderful spring as an actual
existing physical entity; and it is
recorded that he believed il would

Joyed by fu ure generations. There
cannot be shadow OF doubt that
the Sawanee Springs are the verita-
ole waters spoken of to Ponce de
Leon by the aborigincs. Beautiful
drives afford enjoyment to young
and old, and every provision, in
fact, is made to render a long or
short sojourn at Suwunee pleasant
"reminiscences OF life IN the Sunny
South.
Suwanee's location enters very
lmpressively into the eflicacivus tri-
umphs of its waters, the heavenly.

ually bends, the bones ache, while de-
crepitudc and helplessness prema-
turely take possession of the body.
Under this treatment, it is but a short
step from vigor and health to a 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 mercuria1 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.,
II was incurable. 1t has always baf-
fled the doctors, and Ii Is in 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 counterfeit the
poison. While they succeed in bott1ing
up the poison i'm the system, II 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.
IT Is the same In other diseases of
the blood. Scrofuia, Eczema, Cancer,
Rheumatism, all arc 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 It's effect, yet harmless ia
every way. For fifty years s. 8. s.

the most violent TO the miidcst case,

A CARD

TO the Editor Of TnE ARaUs.
La your excellent paper Of last
week you spoke of doctor visiting
New YORK recently and procuring
"Antitoxine" for the cure Of dipb.
liberia. Thinking the public might
think the physicians Of old Preston
behind the times, or not sufficiently
interested IN their patients to keep
abreast, ] will say that the remedy
has been in the hands Of more than
one physician Of The county for
many months, ready TO use at any
moment tho dread disease breaks
out. Very truly.
