His head and body were a mass
OF sores, and his nose was swollen to
several times its natural size; to add TO
his misery he had catarrh, which made
him almost deaf, and his eyesight also
became affected. No treatment was
spared that we thought would relieve
him, but he grew worse until his conGi,
ton was indeed pitisble. A dozen blood
remedies were given him by the WHOLE
sale, but they did not the slightest good.
! had almost despaired of his ever beng
cured, when by the advice OF friend we
gave him S.S.S. (Swift's Specihc), ana
at first the Inflammation seemed to IN
crease. but as this is the way the remedy
gets rid of the poison, by forcing 1t out
of the system, we were encouraged ana
continued the medicine. A decided I'M
provement was the result, and after he
had taken a dozen bottles, no one who
knew of his former dreadful condition
would have recognized him. All the
sores on his body have healed, his SKIN
is perfectly clear and smooth, ana he
has been restored TO perfect health"

the cure which S.S.S. effected in his

1natism, Cancer, Eczema, Catarrh, etc.

learned that Blanchard had n gambling
establishment there in 1861 and in COM
pany with another man had been engaged
in the business of furnishing substitutes
for people who did not want to go to the
front with the regiments then being re-
cruited.
Blanchard made considerable money at
that time and it was while there he met
the widow of a physician, and TO whom
he was married at the Bay State house.
In the meantime Blanchard had estab-
lishcd a gambling house at 80 Howard
street, in this city. He kept this open
from 1865 to 1872. Blanchard also had a
gambling house in New York. The house
on Howard street was broken into one
night after day of big business and
5000 stolen. Blanchard went 10 New
York about that time and Maj. Jones,
who was then in charge OF the state po-
lice. sent men after him, but no arrests
were made.
When Mr.. Smythe Decnrie satisfd Tat
Blancard was not born in Maine he
looked up the masonic records and found
that when Blanchard took his first de-
gree he gave his birthplace as Ireland.
He then had another interview with
Fanny Belkeiser and she admitted that
Blanchard was not born in Maine. She
was also induced 10 admit that he had 4
brother: that his brother was som where
in Maine; that he had once met Blanch-
ard in New York and one time got into
trouble, which Blanchard hushed up al
an expense Of about 500. She refused 10
tell anything more.
Matters had reached this stage when.
in November OF last year Fanny Belkei-
ser filed in the Surrogate court petition

courts was Thomas Leggett. the ragmau.
One day in February last he appeared at
the office Of the public administrator
claiming. to be Blanchard's brother. Mr..
Smythe had furnished the public adm !n-

Lazarus.

Inherited blood diseases are much
more difficult to cure than those which
are acquired. One Of the most common
hereditary diseases is Scrofula, which
the medical profession admit is most
obstinate and deepseated, and their ef-
forts to cure it meet with little success.
A child afflicted with Scrofula is always
puny and sickly, and can never grow
into into healthy manhood until the disease
is eliminated. Scroiula leads into con-
sumption nine times out of ten, so that
it is important for this reason that i'm
mediate attention be given to all chill
dren who inherit the slightest faint.
Mrs. S. S. Mabry, 900 Elm St., Macon,
Ca, writes:
"My boy, Charlie, inherited scrofu-
lous Blood faint, and from infancy was
covered with terrible sores, his suferings
being such that it was impossible to
dress him for three years.
