Bottled Up!

It certainly is disheartening to pa- tient to find that the treatment he is given for disease is more disastrous than the disease itself. Such is the case, however, with the usual treat ment given for diseases of the blood.
 Notwithstanding the great progress made in many branches of medicine, the doctors have failed absolutely to find successful treatment for blood poison, and the many diseases having their origin in the blood. They give but one kind of medicine, they know but one treatment, and whether in the form of powder, pill or liquid, the doctors prescription is always the sane-potash or mercury.
 Too much cannot be said of the harm fu1 and disastrous effects of these drugs. The doctors are unable to rid the sys- tenn of the poison, and direct their efforts toward covering up the symp- toms from view. There is but one ef- feet to be obtained from potash and mercury-they bottle up the poison and dry it up in the system, but it must be remembered that they dry up the marrow in the bones at the same time, gradually consuming the vital ity. Those disfguring copper-colored sp1otches are but indications of worse results to follow. No sooner has the system taken on the full effects of this powerful drug than that suppleness and elasticity of the joints gives way to stiffness, followed by the racking pains of rheumatism.

MOVED INTO LARGER QUARTERS.

The Birmingham Arms and Cycle com pany have moved to 1916 Second avenue into larger and more commodious quar- ters, where they can make better dis play of the Crawford bicycles, which have sst the city wild since the price on 1896 models have been reduced to $35 and 1897 models to $50. In their new house they have more room, and their general line of sporting goods, bicycles, hammocks, base ball goods, etc, can be displayed to better advantage. The famous Vic or bi- cycle, which leads all other high-grade bicycles, are now coming in rapidly from the factory, and they are able to furnish a few Victors to the trade.

 q have used Pe-ru-ra in my family ever since you sent me the books. Pe- rU-na has been the treatment of every case of sickness in my family since then4 Hw,1 years ago my wife was sick for two months We tried two different doctors, but the case was rather stubborn, being a menstrual difficulty I can find no words to describe her misery The dCc- tors trea inert only made her worse, and I, being a poor man, was spellbound not knowing what to do Finally 1 Came across a Pe-ru-na Almanac; looking into it I found a cut representing catarrh of the throat. My threat had been subject to periodical affection for the last twenty years, and if any medicine had done any good it was s1o little that I did not real ize it. Reading the book, I found that Pe-ru-na was not only good for catarrh of the throat. butt alsio catarrh of the pei We organs and nervous prostra tlon I immediately sent for more of your books, and in one of them I found description of my wife's case. I quit the doctors and purchased a bottle of Pe-ru-na. Three days lalter my wife got up ard has been well ever since. 1 have not been bothered with the throat affection since taking Pe-ru-na. Before my wife used Pe-ru-na her trouble caused her a weeks sickness every month. But now she does not lose a day, and has gained over 50 pounds in weight

ual1y bends, the bones ache, while de. crepitude and helplesSness prema' ture1y take possession of the body. Under this treatment, it is but a short step from vigor and health to a pair of crutches.

This is no overdrawn picture, for ihe world to-day is full ot these hobbling mcrcuria1 wrecks.
 Contagious Blood Poison is the most Horrible of all diseases, and has been appropriately called the curse of man. kind. Until the discovery of s. s. S., it was incurable. It has always baf- fled the doctors, and it is ill this dis ease that the evils of mercury and potash are most common, because these drugs are given in such large doses in an effort to counteract the poison. While they succeed in bottling up the poison in the system, it always breaks forth again, attacking some delicate organ, frequently the mouth and throat, filling them with eating sores. S. s. s. is the only known cure for this terrible disease.
 It is the same in other diseases of the blood. Scrofula, Eczema, Cancer, dll dtC lNSh tiS oohAS treatment by the physicians-mercury ard potash, and the result as above set forth is always the same.

SUCCESS OF TEE THIRD RAIL.
TRAINS BETWEEN NEW BRITAIN AND HARTFORD RUN FAST AND SMOOTHLY.

TRAINS BETWEEN NEW BRITAIN AND
 HARTFORD RUN FAST AND SMOOTHLY.
 The first days of the third rail system operations between New Britain and Hartford have shown that it is to be a success. The trains made the trip in 20 minutes. A few trips were two or three minutes late, but usually the cars were on time. At night the motormen ring the gong good part of the way. At frequent intervals the airwhistles are blown. Everybody along the line knows when to look for the cars.
 The open cars are large and well lighted. The ride at night is weird one. The cars go very fast and every few minutes flashes of electricity light both sides of the roadbed. The white washed gates of the road look very glar- ing when lit up by the electricity. The cars ride smoother than the trolley cars because they are much heavier, and the roadbed is more even. The steam cars did very light business between the two cities. The people appeared to enjoy the new method and the large number carried shows that the first iaya' runs were successful.

things said about the new service by these passengers, and not 6 few of the observant men aboard said that the successful operation of this road marked the beginning of new era in railroading which was bound to end in sending steam locomotives to the scrap heap and the substitution of electricity for the pro- polling power of trains.
 When this comes about, the man who will have earned a high place for fore sight and enterprise will undoubtedly be President Charles P. Clark, of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail- road company. He began long ago watching the application of electricity for traction purposes and to etudy the methods of it's use. That it could be used with success on elevated roads was proved in Chicago on the Intramural road during the Worlds Fair, and later, on the Metropolitan West Side road, and in Liverpool, England. In the latter part of 1894 Mir Clark determined to be. gin practical experiments With it as 8 substitute for steam and surface roads. It was radical movement, but only what might we'll have been expected of one whose work during the ten years of his presidency of the New York, New Haven and Hartford road has been one of constant Improvements. The four tracking of that road, the abolition o1 grade crossings, building of new and i'm. proved stations, the laying down o1 heavier rails, and the introduction of the latest and best improvements in rolling | stock are part of the evidences of 8 policy which MT Clark in ntroduced and is carrying forward. Concerning the third rail experiment, President ClarH ! said, last evening:
 II don't consider that the practica I use of electricity for transmitting DO owel | for standard roads is in all respects ye beyond the experimental stage, judged from moderate standpoint. There car be no question about the cheapness o1 generating the power, or about tht transmission of it economically, bu further experience is necessary before it can be said certainly that the motors can be used economically for the varyins conditions of load, physical and electric
