Why u 10 IIII Instead Of Nv.

There is an interesting story back
Of the hour Of four as represented on
the face Of clocks. Perhaps you have
noticed many time that instead Of
it's being ". as would be most nat
ural, it is usually-st least in all
cases Of old clocks and watches-IIII.
The reason for il is said 10 be that
away back in the time Of Charles V.
Of France, who reigned in the latter
half Of the fourteenth century, when
the first clock was made, It's maker,
Henry Wick, wss commanded TO bring
it before the king. He did 30, and the
king was very well pleased with it,
watching the works with much inter-
est. But he said, finally: lyon have
got the figures on the dial wrong"
II think not, your Majesty replied
the clockmsker.
"Yes, that four should be four ones."
Surely not. your Majesty" urged
the man, again.
"Yes, it should be four ones, in.
sisted the king.
"You are wrong" once more said
Wick, which made the king very an.
cry.
Il am never wrong" he cried.
take it away and correct the mis-
take" The poor clockmaker could
only obey. and the blunder Of the
king has come all the way down 10 US,
for all clocks have been 20 marked
ever since.

! bide my time. Whenever shadows darken
Along my path, do but lift mine eyes,

And through earths harsh, discordant

And hear divinest music from afar,
Sweet sounds from lands where half my

And lead me tothe realms of perfect peace; /;

I I. MYERS

Mr.. H. L. Myers, of 100 Mulberry street,
Newark, N. J., made the mistake of re-
lying upon remedies based upon mineral
ingredients, and for the hundreds of
dollars which he invested received only
disappointment in return. He says:
II was afflicted with terrible blood
disease, which was in spots at first, but
afterwards spread all over my body.
These soon broke out into sores, and it
is easy to imagine the suffering 1 en-
dured.
"Before I became convinced that
the doctors could do no good 1 had
spent hundred dollars, which was
really thrown away. I then tried vari-
Gus patent medicines, but they did not
reach the disease. When had finished
my first bottle of S.S.S., was greatly
improved and was delighted with the
result. The large red splotches on my
chest began to grow paler and smaller,
and before long disappeared entirely. 1
regained my lost weight, became strong
er, and my appetite greatly improved.
l was soon entirely we'll, and my skin as
clear as piece of glass.
S.S.S. is a sure cure for all manner
of blood diseases, and disappointment
never results from its use. 1t is

No
Patchwork!

One of the most encouraging features
Of cure made by S.S.S. (Swift's Specifc)
is its permanency. Ofall diseases, it is
well known that those of the blood are
the most obstinate, and therefore the
most difficult to cure. The medical
profession, in fact, have virtually ad-
mitted that a real, deepseated blood
disease is beyond their skill.
OF course, their admission is not made
in so many words, but actions speak
louder than words, and their inability to
cure, after monks and often years of
treatment, is sufficient evidence that dis
eases of the blood cannot be cured by
doctors. Their mercurial mixtures, al
though taken faithfully, only cover up
the symptoms of the disease, inducing
the patient to feel that he is being cured;
but when he Is sooner or later seized
with stiff joints, pain in the bones, ETC.,
the evidence of the doctors patchwork
is conclusive. Such results cannot be ex-
pected from the use of S. S. S. Being
purely vegetable, containing no harm
ful mineral ingredients, it is the only
blood remedy which acts on the true
principle of forcing the disease from
the system, building up rather than
tearing down the health. No loss CT
hair, no stiff joints, no decrepit mercu-
rial wrecks result from the use of S.S.S.
