Gave Back
MY Health

There is no reason for being Respondent
and considering diseases Of the blood
incurable, simply because the treatment
OF physicians and many so-called blood
remedies fail to effect cure. Though
it is naturally disheartening to the suf-
ferer who faithfully takes the prescribed
treatment OF the physicians, often at the
expense OF hundreds Of dollars, to find
himself no better as time goes
by, still cure will result from the right
remedy, S.S.S., no matter what other
treatment has failed.
The reason that S.S.S. (Swift's Spe-
ci6c) has so successfully cured even the
worst cases after other treatment had
been tried in vain is that it is the only
remedy which forces the poison from
the blood and permanently eliminates
it from the system, which is the only
correct principle of curing the disease.
Mercurial remedies bottle up the poison
and tear down the system, while S.S.S.
forces out the poison and builds up and
adds strength and vigor to the entire
system. 1t is natures remedy, and con-
tains no harmful ingredient.

THEM EXPLOSIVES.
EXPERIMENTS MADE IN ENGLAND
Military Experts Declare That the
Airship VIII Really BE One of the
Most Dreaded Means in Future
Wars.
lcorrespondence Of the pIsnatch1
Wars.


LONDON, October 6.-The English
Government has demonstrated that the
balloon in warfare can be made a COM
plete success. Experiments just con-
Guided at Lydd have shown that explo-
sives can be accurately thrown from bal
looms at any desired height and the dis
charge thereof regulated by means Of an
electric coil.
II really seems rs II. after more than
100 years of experiment. the balloon
would prove as valuable an adjunct to
an army as the artillery itself. The bal
loon used in the Lydd experiments had
a capacity OF 10000 cubic feet. 1t rose to
q distance of 1900 feet from the earth.
at which point the experiments were
made. AT first dummy shells were used
the idea being to see how accurately they
could be launched In a certain position.
The projection of the explosive took place
in the air. just above the position aimed
at, this being as effective for the pur-
pose of the experiments as IL the shell
were launched upon buildings in posi-
ton in the camp with the resultant
damage.
1t was marvellous to observe the accu-
racy with which the projectiles were
dropped. SO nicely have the air-currents
been calculated in point of velocity that
when the balloon operator launches the
shell he does so in such a manner that
the explosive will reach the objective
point on the earth below with scarcely
the variation of q foot. With so close
n calculation as this, and the discharge
by electric coil being regulated with
