Contagious Blood Poison,
Catarrh, or any other form of blood
troubles, will find in S. S. S. prompt
and permanent cure; it matters not
how deep seated the disease, or what
other treatment has failed. Carbuncles
are the result of an impoverished con
dition of the blood, causing depressed
vitality and<such low state of health
that it is difficult for hesystem to with
stand even the mildest illness.
Mr.. Joseph c. Mygatt, of No. 400 Han
cock Ave, Athens, Ga, says: " con-
tracted blood poison from dye, which
developed such alarming symptoms,
that my life was almost despaircd of.
At one time there were fourteen car
buncles on my body, and my suffering
was such that for months was unable
to do any work. The best physician
in our city treated me constantly, but
his efforts were of no avail, my condi-
ton growing worse all the while.
IS. S. S. was recommended, and after
I had taken the first bottle, an inn
provement was noticed. grew better
every day, and after taking six bottles
was entirely cured. The carbuncles
all disappeared, leaving my skin per-
fectly clear, and have never had one
since"
There is not a disease of the blood,

It's the same story. The experience
of all sufferers with blood diseases Is
identical. First the doctors are con-
suited, and their prescription Of potash
and mercury is taken faithfully, but
without result. Months pass, and the
mercurial dose is continued, until
finally, his condition being no better,
or often worse, the patient becomes
discouraged and decides to change
treatment.
Patent medicines are then taken,
but until the right one is found the
results are the same. S. s. $. is the
only blood remedy on the market
which is guaranteed purely vegetable
It is the only one that contains no
mercury, no potash, or other mineral,
and therefore is the only one that
promptly gets at the bottom of all
blood diseases and cures permanently.

The recent crusade against the civil
service law inaugurated in the Senate
by Senator Allen and others make a
brief summary of the classified service
of interest. The whole number of
places in the civil service of the gov
eminent is 17S,717, Of which 7,107
are in the classified and 9l,6I0 are in
the unclassifed service. OF this latter
number 66,725 are postmasters of the
fourth class. The aggregate compen
sation paid in the executive civil serv-
ice during the last fiscal year was APP
proximately $100000,000. There are
about 10000 persons now appointed
by the President and the number is
increasing each year. The civil serv
Ice commission says that in few
years it will be absolutely impossible
for the President and the Cabinet of
ficers to hear all applicants for posi-
tions, and repeal OF the four years
tenure in these places will be neces-
sary. During the last year 81 ,270 per.
sons were examined for the classified
service and 20,493 passed successfully
OF the successful contestants only
6.084 were appointed.

How often have newspapers built up
men in community, who, through
their own exertions, never would have
got above the plodding level. The
community could see no good in them,
and very frequently the good traits
that the discriminating newspaper
man saw are wrecked when the plod-
der is elevated to a position where
he can exercise little authority. His
hand is first raised against the news
paper which befriended him, he be-
comes morbid with a desire for per-
sonal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and all positive,
manly traits are buried beneath the
natural instinct of ingratitude. News
papers, of course, have no more pres
ence OF mind than other good people,
and may be imposed upon, but they
are not fooled very often, nor does
lightning strike twice in the same
place.
