Cincinnati, Feb. 22-Mr. J. w. Me
gibben of the famous Cynthiana distil-
Iery, was at the Gibson Saturday, in
fine spirits over the proposed great
whisky pool in Kentucky.
He said: I'VE had an altogether sat

SO per cent of the distilling interests of
the state were represented
There are 40 distilleries of conse-
quence in the state, and they will all be
glad to come into the combine. August
Belmont and Pierpont Morgan are back

perfect the deal, but 1 think it is a go.
We have to first get at all the diStillers
and have them put fair valuations up
on their properties, and then we can
proceed with the negotiations with the
eastern syndicate. If the pool is per-
fected it will be a great thing for the
Kentucky distillerS, as it will keep their
far-famed brands at a fixed price and
ces and all that. If the scheme is a sue
cess it will be the biggest thing the

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.,
1t was incurablc. It has always baf-
sAed the doctors, and it 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 counteract the
poison. While they succeed in bottling
up the poison in the system, it always
breaks forth again, attacking some
delicate organ, frequently the mouth
and throat. filing them with eating
sores. S. 8. s. is the only known cure
for this terrible disease.
It is the same in other diseases OF
the blood. Scrofula, Eczema, Cancer,
Rheumatism, all are given the same
treatment by the physicians-nercury
and potash, and the result as above set
forth is always the same.
