Itching,
Burning,
Eczema


ls the external indication Of a con.
dition of the blood which produces Z
fiery irritation almost unbearable. 1t is
mistake to think that this local irrita-
ton is the disease itself-it is simply an
evidence of disordered condition of the
blood. The seat of the disease Is in the
blood, and this is why the various salves
and ointments usually applied have no
effect whatever. They cannot possibly
reach the origin of the trouble; only q
blood remedy can do that. S. S. S. is
without an equal for blood diseases, and
promptly and permanently cures Eczema
and removes all taint.
Much torture could be avoided if the
first itching symptoms were needed and
scourse ofS.S.S. taken promptly, as ap-
parently Insignificant skin irritations
usually develop into the worst form
Of Eczema unless properly treated.
It matters not what other treatment
has been tried in vain, S. S. S. always
gets at the seat Of the disease, and
forces it out.
Mr.. William Armstrong, an old resi-
dent and highly respected citizen Of
De Pere, Wis, writes on April 1st, 1896.

MR.. WILLIAM ARMsroNC.

MR.. WILLIAM Armstrong.
II have been sufferer for eight years
with that horrible disease, Eczema, at
times all over my body, and NO person
can describe the burning and itching I
had to endure.
1.-The extent of my suferings can be
appreciated when I state that my con.
dition was such that could not take
my bed, and for three months never
laid down, but was compelled to sit in
my chair when not moving around. I
was treated by the best of physicians
with no success, and tried all the patent
medicines recommended for Eczema,
without any good results. then went
to the Indiana Mud baths, with the same
results, and then to Mt. Clements, the
celebrated medical resort, where the
treatment partially helped me, but the
disease shortly returned. l went to
Florida, thinking that a change of eli.
mate and water and the citron fruit
might cure me, but found no cure.
n then tried S.S.S.and after three days
the burning and itching subsidized. and
l continued to improve steadily until I
was well-antirely cured. After com.
mencing S. S. S. I never put an exter-
nal application to my limbs or any part
Of my body. You may refer to me any
person suffering from Eczema. will
always keep the S. S. S. in my house,

Of the present age. am seventy years
of age and am now in perfect health. "
For real blood diseases relief can only
be obtained by using real blood rene
dy. So many people who are sufferers
from an obstinate or deep-seated blood
disease make the mistake Of taking rem.
edies which at best are only tonics and
cannot possibly reach their trouble. It
is in just such cases which other so-called
blood remedies cannot reach that S.S.S.
has made some Of the most wonderful
cures.

three feet in length, which crackles and

to the same family group as the arma-

attention at the zoo, for it is-if we are
correctly informed-the first animal Of

there. Its home is where the termites,

THE TIPPING QUESTION.
How 1t Il Practiced at Homo and Abroad
and the Need For u Reform.

How 1t Il Practiced at Home and Abroad
and the Need For n Reform.
The question Of ''tipping' seems
small enough in detail, but rather i'm
= portant when exaggerated.
A woman who spent last winter in
one of the most sumptuous Of New York
hotels says she invariably a V a quar-
ter to her waiter at breakfast and lunch
con, those being meals taken alone. At
dinner time she was joined by her hus-
band, who always handed the servitor
90 cents.
The latter sum seemed to evenly fill
the mans idea Of what was due him,
and his Thank you, sir!' was bland
and gracious, but the lady's modest
quarters always found their grave in
the black waistcoat pocket, with no ex-
preston of gratitude from the recipi-
ent's face, which wore a meaning look,
as Of one who says, women are mean

thing by a man, but one as to put up
with en-

America that optional fees are SO much
larger than they ought to be. A dollar,
which is a common enough sum for a
man to give at dinner in a fashionable
restaurant, would make a French wait.
or stare, although he would have the
presence of mind to pocket it quickly.
In Paris there is an unwritten scale
which apportions 8 per cent on the
amount Of "a customers bill as a tip.
Thus "a person ordering a dinner that
costs 81 would, on settling his bill, add
10 cents for the attendant.
1t is time we had either d legal or in
formal rule governing tips in this coun.
try, and it is to be hoped that some rich
persons will help on the reform.
1t will never be done by those whose
means are really small enough to feel
the tax, for it is one of the errors of the
impecunious to feel obliged to show as
much liberality as q millionaire, ever

Legislat We and Executive and Judicial
branches Lock Horns in Nebraska.
OMAHA, March l5.-A special to The
Bee from Lincoln says: A conflict be-
tween the legislative and executive
branches Of the government on one
side and judicial on the other side is IN.
1t grows out of the efforts of Repub-
licans to stop the progress of the count
of the ballots cast at the last election
by which the Populists hope to seat
two additional members of the supreme
court. The bill providing for a recount
was passed and the recount is we'll un-
der way. The Republicans secured a
restraining order from the district
court of Lancaster county to hold the
matter back. This order is being COM
batted. Attorney General Smythe
moved it's dissolution. If it is not dis.
solved the recount will proceed at any
hazard, injunction or no injunction.

There Is no name in this section Of the
connected with the medical world,
that is better known to the public than that
of Mr.. Monroe Peterson. He Is situated III
a nice, comfortable home, with n good tarm,
about four miles west of Johnson City, ILL.,,
He is now ffty-eight years old, i'll a healthy
condition, and weighs one hundred and ninety
pounds. Not q more upright and honorable
citizen does our nation afford, and lie Is
looked upon with wonder, because Of his
healthy condition after so long a period Of
misery and suffering.
The cause of Mr.. Peterson's long suffering
was a hurt which he received in a fall, while
running q drill in 1861, being a soldier at
the time. He has been crippled in his right
leg ever since that date. Sciatic rheumatism
then set in, and his leg began to slowly
wither away and draw up in the joint, and
new it is about two inches shorter than the
other. 1t began to grow worse and. finally,
his whole body began to shake like a person
with the ST. Vitus' dance. His first severe
attack was about six years ago.
There is no disease in the power Of human
endurance more awful in its Pains and
Affections than sciatic rheumatism. Some
while, at other times, it comes with jerks
md wrenches that seem to twist the body
out of all shape Of recognition. 1t seems to
contract the muscles, drawing the body nj
most in a knot. While this is probably the
worst stage of sciatic rheumatism, it is some
times found in milder forms. SO it was
with Mr.. Peterson, but with it was associ-
ated a feeling and condition almost rs un-
comfortable and unbearable. The body was
Ein a continual shake, rendering it impossible
for him to do anything. He had lost al
control of his muscles. On application to a
physician for relief, he was told that the
a%tiiction might last him all his life, or, on
the other hand, it might leave him entirely
at an unexpected moment.
For over three years he was not able to
write a word, so severe was his shaking. lie
could not even sign his vouchers, thereby
having to make his mark and witness it. At
this time he could not walk n step without
aid, nor even sit down il n chair without
assistance. SO severe was the shaking of
his head that it almost caused him 10 60
blind. He could not distinguish O person a
rods distance il front of him. lie came
verv nearly losin, his mind, and his friends

Nobody may shoot an elephant, says
the London Telegraph, I'll the Anna

The capture of the wild elephant and

1t has been truly remarked that di-
rectly the native and foreign hunters
are convinced that one live elephant is
worth dozens of tusks they will be as

are to exterminate him. We might plead

and keep we'll by using DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t is the one reliable
cure for all pulmonary complaints. It's
effect upon throat, lungs and bronchial
tubes is immediate and pronounced. 1t is a
wonderful blood purifier. 1t works upon
the blood first. 1t stimulates the action of
all the digestive organs, promotes simila
ton and makes nutrition perfect. 1t con-
tains elements that work directly or the
nerves, givingthem steadiness and strength.
1t is for this reason highly recommended to
those suffering from brain fag, overwork
and loss of sleep. Thousands of people
have testified to the wonderful benefits re-
ccivcd from this great medicine. Among
them, Mrs. Ella Howell, of Derby, Perry
Co.. Ind, who writes:
IL was so weak l could not walk across the
room without assistance. took Doctor Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery and his Favorite Pre-
scription' and one bottle of the Pleasant Pei

of a few bottles. The physicians who attended
leading into pulmonary consumption. l had
quite a cough. and the home physician gave me
up to die. l thank God that my cure is perma-
nent. l do not feel any symptoms OF my old DIS
case. Icannot praise Dr.. Pierce and his remedies
too highly. The medicines come the nearest to
raising the dead of any that have ever known
about. They are worth their weight in gold.
THE STARTING POINT of almost all diseases IS
In the digestive organs. Constipation leads to
more diseases than any other one cause. 1t Is
not looked upon as a serious thing, but 1t Is. II
means that poisonous, effete matter, that should
be excreted, is retained in the body, and some
portions of il must, of course, be reabsorbed by
the blood. 1t is thus carried all over the body,
and has its effect in producing headaches, bilious
ness, sour stomach, foul breath, heart burn, fiat
ulence, palpitation of the heart, and many other
serious symptoms. 1t can be quickly and perrna-
nently cured by DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. A
little vial contains forty Pellets" At druggists.
