Some People too Modest to Conde in their Physician Woman
Cured Of Serious Disease by Certain Method the Only
From the Evening Ne,0., Detroit, Mich.

The doctor came IN haste and found his
patient again in great agony from splitting
headache. II was his fifth call on the same
patient, and each time to treat the same
trouble. With . suspicion that his diagno.
sis was incorrect and that he was treating q
symptom and not the disease, he said to her {:
Madam, it 10 useless for me to visit you
again. You are keeping from me facts and
symptoms which Il 10 necessary should
know. The patient finally acknowledged
that through : false mode.ty, she had not
suffered from female weakness but had kept
Il from him-too nodest to speak. The old
doctor was disgusted at such prudshness,
but when he knew the facts, cured her easily

most fearful headaches and intense twitch-
Ing pains in my neck and shoulders.
You would scarcely believe, to look at
me now, that for about three days every
week for nearly six years. had to stay in
bed. Those headaches would come on me
every week regularly. First l would notice
black spots before my eyes, and then l
would 60 blind, and send for the doctor.
At first they would treat me for indigcs-
tion and dyspepsia, then finally acknowl-
edse that something else caused the trouble.

1T is NOT A II. AYANTIVE.
DIR. Sanarelli Talks of His Yellow
Fever Cure.
His Experiments on Animals Give
Very Satisfactory Results-Has
Yet to Test 1t on a Hu-
man Being.

A dispatch to the New York Herald
from Buenos Ayres says: Dr.. sanarelli,
who has been in Uruguay for many
months studying the yellow fever prob
lem, and who recently announced THE
discovery of u curative anti-toxin for
the fever, has been interviewed as to his
work by the Herald's correspondent
In Monteyideo.
In the first place DR.. Sanarelli states
that American physicians who have
been interviewed by the Herald as to
his discovery are completely mistaken
as to Its use. 1t is not serum to be
used for incubation to prevent yellow
fever, but serum which, he believes,
will cure.
DR.. Sanarelli said that he had inocu-
lated many dogs, horses and other anil
mails with serum which was intended
to give them a mild form of fever and
immune them. This method he found
to be slow, difficult and varying in its
results, according to the class of ami
NAL on which the experiments were
made. In order to immunize horse
he found incubation would have to be
made at intervals covering IA months.
Then DR.. Sanarelli turned his atten-
ton to>the experiments which resulted
in the discovery of curative serum.
He first inoculated certain animals in
order to give them yellow fever, then
tried his curative serum, with most sat
isfactory results. Several of the ami
mails were almost dead with the genu-
inc yellow fever when the curative
serum was injected. In each case they
recovered.
He believes that the same results
would follow the same treatment of q
person who suffered from the fever,
though as yet he has been unable to
make practical test on a man. He
states that human being will not
yield so readily to yellow fever There
fore he may have to make minor
changes in his treatment after test
ing it.
+ The quantity of serum for inoculat-
ing animals he finds, varies, and he ex-
poets when he makes a test on fever
patient to find that the quantity will
again vary. This, however, he says.
can easily be regulated.
This new serum, says DR.. Sanarelli,
If compared with other serum intended
for preventive or curative purposes,
will be found to be. far above them in
efficacy, though it is not yet perfect.
Before announcing his final con-
illusions and the composition of his
curative serum, DR.. Sanarelli will try to
make a more potent serum for expert
ment on a fever patient. He will soon
leave Montevideo for Rio Janeiro where
he will continue his experiments.

Free From
Rheumatism,

If the people generally knew the true
cause of Rheumatism, there would be
no such thing as liniments and lotions
for this painful and disabling disease.
The fact is, Rheumatism is a disordered
state of the blood-it can be reached,
therefore, only through the blood: But
all blood remedies cannot cure Rheuma-
tism, for it is an obstinate disease, one
which requires real 6lood remedy
something more than mere tonic.
Swift's Specific is the only real blood
remedy and promptly goes to the very
bottom of even the most obstinate case.
Like all other blood diseases, the
doctors are totally unableto cure Rheu-
matism. In fact, the only remedies
which they prescribe are potash and
mercury, and though temporary relief
may result, these remedies produce
stiffness of joints and only intensity the
disease. Those who have had experience
with Rheumatism know that it becomes
more severe each year.

Enrth's Speed Not Even.

1t is an interesting fact that the earth
does not travel at the same rate in all
parts of its journey through space. Its
orbit being elliptical it must at some
time approach nearer to the sun than at
others, and will take less time in NOV
ing through one part of its path than
through another. In winter the earth
is nearer the sun than in summer, and
moves through space more rapidly.

The case of Mrs. James Kell, of CIR
Ninth Street, S. F., Washington, D. c.,
should convince everyone that it is
useless to expect doctors to cure Rheu-
inatism. Under recent date she writes
ga few months ago had an attack of
Sciatic Rheumatism in its worst form.
The pain was so intense that my ner-
vous system was Frustrated, and was
for long time perfectly helpless. The
attack was an unusually severe one.
and my condition was regarded as
being very dangerous.
81 was attended by one of the most
able doctors of Washington City, who is
also member of the faculty of the
leading college here. He told me to
continue his prescription and would
get we'll. After having it reflled twelve
times and receiving not the least bene-
fit, declined to take it longer.
"Having heard S.S.S. (Swift's Spe-
cifc) recommended for Rheumatism,
I decided, almost in despair, to give
it a trial. After taking few bot
ties I was able to hobble around on
crutches, and very soon had no need
at all for them, for S.S.S. cured me
sound and we'll. All the distressing
pains have left me, my appetite has
returned, and I am happy to be again
restored to perfect health"
S.S.S. never disppoints, for it is made
to cure these deep-rooted diseases which
are beyond the reach of all other rene
dies. It cures permanently Rheumatism,
Catarrh, Cancer, Scrofula, Eczema, and
all other blood diseases. It is the only
blood remedy guaranteed
