Mr.. II. L. Myers, of 100 Mulberry street,
Newark, N. J., made the mistake of re-
lying upon remedies based upon mineral
Ingredients, and for the hundreds of
dollars which he invested received only
disappointment in return. He says:
II was afflicted with terrible blood
disease, which was in spots at first, but
afterwards spread all over my body.
These soon broke out into sores, and it
is easy to imagine the suffering en-
dured.
"Before I became convinced that
the doctors could do no good had
spent hundred dollars, which was
really thrown away. then tried yari-
Gus patent medicines, but they did not
reach the disease. When had finished
my first bottle of S.S.S., was greatly
improved and was delighted with the
result. The large red splotches on my
chest began to grow paler and smaller,
and before long disappeared entirely. 1
regained my lost weight, became strong
er, and my appetite greatly improved.
was soon entirely we'll, and my skin as
clear as piece of glass"
SIS. is sure cure for all manner
of blood diseases, and disappointment
never results from its use. 1t is

THE REST CURE

This is often the best cure. Bmt many
people cannot afford to rest indefinitely.
Worse still, the very knowledge that they
cannot, seriously intcrfcres with the best use
of the rest they have. Too often going to the
doctor means that the patient shall stop short,
while cares and duties and expenses continue.
Many, therefore, hesitate and delay.

dilemma; it has done so for more than n score

ATHENS, May s.-A newspaper of this city published report to the effect that Volo would be declared a neutral point, and that the Turks therefore would not occupy it.

 The Turks, according to last nights adyiees. have not yet reach ed Volo, which ls now completely evacuated by Greek troops. The foreign legion took part in the fight at Pnarasalos. An Englishman and two Italian officers were killed.
 The foreign minister also said he knew nothing concerning the re port that Yolo was to be declared a neutral port, but he added if the Turks committed excesses in that town Greece will take measures de- manded by the situation.
 4 dispatch from Arta says that

An Old and Respected Citizen.

On Saturday. May s, Judge Jos ". Bocage entered upon his 79th year, and does SD carrying with him the good will and best wishes of all our people. who sincerely trust that he may long be spared to his devosed family and this community.
 Judge Bocage was born on thu Island of St. Lucia, on May $, 1Sl9. He came to Pie Bluff in 1887, at which time Pine Bluff consisted of only eight log cabins and one frame house. From the time of his arrival he has made Pine Bluff his home, and has seen this city grow to it's pres ent ntmetropolitan proportions. Judge Bocage, in his long life here. has done perhaps, more than any other man to make Pine Bluff what she is at the present time. He has lived an energetic and useful life, and on his escutcheon there is no taint or blem- ish of dishonor, either in public or private life, and all our people re- spect and hoEor him for intrinsic worth and many noble deeds. He is the only survivor of the bar of 1S40, which was composed of so many noted men.
 Judge Bocage has not been in good health for several months past. but he is wonderfully well preserved man, mentally and physically, and We sincerely trus that he will soon feeupef ate his strength and live with us for innny years ttl come.
