It's a Poor Rule, &c.

The Marquis Of Lorne, when Gov
ernor-G General Of Canada, was present
at some sports held on the ice Of the
St. Lawrence. Though wrapped in
furs he felt the cold acutely, and was
astonished to see an ancient Indian
meandering around barefooted, en-
yeloped only in blanket. He asked
the savage how he managed to bear
such temperature when he had so
little on. why you no cover face?"
inquired the Indian. The Marquis
replied that no one ever did so, and
that he was accustomed to have his
face naked from birth. Good" re-

No
Patchwork!

One of the most encouraging features
of a cure made by S.S.S. (Swift's Specifc)
is its permanency. Ofall diseases, it is
we'll known that those of the blood are
the most obstinate, and therefore the
most difficult to cure. The medical
profession, in fact, have virtually adj
mitted that 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 months and often years of
treatment, is sufficient evidence that dis
eases of the blood cannot be cured by
doctors. Their mercuria1 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
full 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 of
hair, no stiff joints, no decrepit mercu-
rial wrecks result from the use of S.S.S.
