writes: "For six years have been q
sufferer from a scroiulous affection OF
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
Of physicians in Washington, D. c.,
Springfield, ILL.,, and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me 10 submit TO re.
moval OF the gland. Atthis critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside a deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its use. Before had used one bot
tie the enlargement began TO disappear,
and now il is entirely gone, though am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had only used your S.S.S. long ago,
l would have escaped years OF misery
and saved over $3.50"
This experience is like that OF all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts TO the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root OF
the disease and forces it out perma-
nently.

HOW A CAPE FEAR MAN MADE
MONEY ON WASPS.

We take the following from recent Is
sue of the New York Post:
Along the banks of the Cape Fear
river, in North Carolina, are lowlands,
behind which lies a higher level, or bench.
The lOwlands are subject to more or less
frequent overfows by freshets, which are
destructive to crops planted thereon. a
numher of years ago, a farmer, resident
in the vicinity. made a very comfortable
sum of money by insuring his neighbors
crops against these freshets. His un-
varying success as an insurer was for
many years a profound mystery to the
people Of the region. The years when he
declined to insure We're invariably years
Of destructive overflow. The years when
he was willing to insure were equally
certain to be seasons of exemption from
disaster.
In the earlier days of New England
this mans reading of the future would
have brought him some unpleasant re-
Tnrence as a dabbler, if not an adept,
in black art In the middle ages of
Europe he would probably have been
rcvered Il prophet and saint. Yet
his information came from no occult
source. Observations had shown him
that n certain species of wasp, which
built its home in the ground, built some
years on the lowlands, mad some years
upon the higher level. Experience
taught him that when the wasps built
on the lowlands there were no freshets.
and when they built on the higher ground
the lower would some time during the
season be submerged. The man had sim
ply noted little instance of that little
understood prescience manifested by GER
tain insects and animals. better knowl-
edge of which might even be of service
to our national bureau. 1t was only at
his death that he revealed his secret.
