No
Theory Here.

The greatest claims for S.S.S. (Swift's
Specifc) are made by those whom it has
cured, and after all the most valuable
reputation is one which is given by those
who speak from experience. We could
publish page of what we claim S.S.S.
will do, but the people prefer to read
of what it has done, and hence we give
the testimony of reputable, well-known
people in different parts of the country,
who gladly tell of how S.S.S. has cured
them of blood diseases, after trying
other treatment in vain.
No wonder S.S.S. has such staunch
friends. The experience of those who
take it to-day will be the same as of
those who twenty years ago found 1t the
only cure. Blood diseases are obstinate,
and cannot be cured by one medicine
in dozen which claims to cure them;
SO when S.S.S. is taken with satisfactory
results, after disappointing expert
ence with other remedies, it is not
strange that it has grateful friends by
the score.

THE SEALING QUESTION.
Important Feature of the Recent Me-
gOtiatiOns mt Washington.


gOtiatiOns at Washington.
Washington, Nov. 23.-One of the
most important features of the Behring
sea negotiations, not heretofore dis
closed, is that in the event that Great
Britain and Canada consent to sus-
pension of pelagic sealing for one year
the United States at the same time will
agree to suspension of all killing of
seals for one year on the Pribylof
islands, constituting the American seal
possessions in Behring sea. AS the
islands are part of United States ter
ritory, no question has ever arisen as
to the right of the United States to
do as it chose as to the seals while on
land and within three miles Of the
shore, the three miles being part Of
the islands according to international
law

Mr.. William Sewers, of Bradford, Ohio,
was cured by S.S.S. ten years ago OF
severe blood poison, and writes that to
this day no sign of the dreadful disease
has ever returned. He says:
"I had terrible blood disease which
is considered incurab1e, and was treated
for long time by the best physicians,
but they did me no good. The disease
seemed to get firmer hold on me, and
attacked my tongue and throat, which
were soon full of vile ulcers.
"T changed doctors several times, and
afterwards took nearly every blood REM
edy on the market, without the slightest
benefit After FIVE years of treatment
which did me no good whatever, was
induced to try S.S.S. This remedy
proved itself equal TO the case, for in
few months was entirely cured and my
skin was perfectly clear and smooth.
I could hardly believe that the cure was
permanent, but ten years have elapsed
and no sign of the disease has yet ap-
peared."
S.S.S. is sure cure for Cancer, Ca
tarrh, Contagious Blood Poison, Scrof-
u1a, Rheumatism, Eczema, and all other
blood diseases, which other remedies
have no effect whatever upon. 1t is

The popular notion Of the injurious
effect of cold bath taken by one who
Is overheated from exercise must pos
sess-as all such ideas have-some ba-
sis in experience, yet it is falsified by
the experience of athletes from the days
OF the Greeks and Romans even until
now, who find in this procedure a re-
freshing and stimulating tonic after the
exertions they have recently undergone.
And, physiologioally speaking, cold
plunge or douche taken Immediately
after the physical effort when the skin
is acting freely and there is a sense of
heat throughout the body, is as rational
as in the experience of the athlete it is
beneficial.
The popular belief doubtless rests on
the injurious effects which may be in
duced by the bath on one who does not
resort to it Immediately, but allows
time for the effects Of fatigue to show
themselves on the muscles and nerves,
and for the surface Of the body to get
cool Taken then, the bath is more like.

How to Preserve Cut Flowers.

Cut flowers should be taken from the
vases each morning and bit of the
stems cut off, all decaying flowers and
leaves taken out and replaced in fresh
water. Soft water is better than hard |;
IL the latter is used, few drops of am
monia may be added. The cooler the
flowers are kept the longer they will
last. In the winter, when flowers are
scarce, it il good plan to take cut
flowers from the vases at night and
place them in washbowl, keeping the
flowers above water.

The bill drafted by a society in AIilwau

tee was also appointed TO prepare more
