Dreadful
Rheumatism.

No disease has puzzled the doctora
so completely as rheumatisn-that de-
plorab1e condition of the blood which
so often renders the strongest man as
helpless as a babe. Their mercurial
and potash remedies may in some
cases impart temporary relief, but are
sure to ultimately result in wrecking
the entire system.
Rheumatism is a deep-seated blood
disease and only real blood remedy
will have any effect whatever upon
it. Most of the so-ca11ed blood RENE
dies are at best only tonics and cam
not reach an obstinate blood trouble.
One of the most frequent symptoms OF
rheumatism is a tingling sensation OF
the parts affected, generally brought
about from lack of free circulation
of the blood through the very small
blood conductors. This trouble is al
ways eliminated by the use of 5. 5. 5;
it thins the blood, gives it free and
forcible circulation, destroys the pois-
onous microbes and restores the circu-
lation to its normal condition.
Mr.. Robert II. King, prominent
and influential citizen of West Point,
Va, writes of his experience with this
dread disease:
"About FIVE years ago I was a great
sufferer from rheumatism. l was
treated by all the leading physicians

satin appliqued with medallions of Rus
sian lace and was finished on each side
with an artistically shaped rever of vel
vet in darker shade of royal purple.
Another popular girl was chic and
charming in oh! such smart coat of
brown kersey lined with silk in rich Ro-
man stripes. The lines were simple, yet
graceful and the unmistakable art of the
tailor was evident in the stitched seams
and edges. A large, bushy tail and a
bright-eyed head of the sable adorned
each side of the loose, double-breasted
front.
One of the daintiest capes seen during
the holidays was made of rich emerald
green silk velvet, lined with delicate en-
bossed pink satin that seemed to have
imprisoned tints from the heart of our
American Beauty rose. Under the edge
of the cape was arranged a flounee of
plated white mousseline de sole, which
gave charming effect of fullness to the
bottom of the cape. The high collar of
velvet was edged with sable and was
clasped in the front with n quaint brooch,
fashioned of an immense emerald encir-
cled with diamonds. An illustration of
this cape is given on this page in COM
pany with those of the jacket and gowns

The reign of Madam lie Mode is at the
height of its glory now that the season
of balls and parties has fairly started
and visits to country clubs are the order
Of the day. Consequently variety in dress
for every occasion is the leading motive
in life.
Tuxedo, the Country Club Of West
chester the Rockaway Hunt and the
Richmond County Hunt all had their
holiday festivities in which the smartest
of New York society always participate.
The women. of course, donned their
purple and fine linen," for undoubtedly
the most attractive feature about a
weeks holiday spent at suburban club
or in its neighborhood is the fact that
there are always plenty of men around to
dress and angle for.
For what is woman if man is not mind
full of her? She is bound to dress and
look her prettiest, just for the fun of hav-
ing other women look envious, but she
soon grows sick of that and longs for
men to conquer.

recommend it TO all sufferers from this

S. S. S. stands out distinctly to it

half century has been curing obsti
nate and deep-seated blood diseases
which other medicines fail to reach.
S. S. S. is not drug store preparation
