AN OLD DOCTORS F.AVORITE.

DR.. L. NJ. Gillian, who practiced med
icine over forty years, originated, used
and claimed hat Botanic Bloom Balm,
(B. 3. 3D. which has now been in use
about ffty-five years, was the best
Tonic and Blood Purifier ever given to
the world. 1t never fails to cure the
most malignant ulcers, sores, rheuma-
tism, catarrh, and all skin and blood
diseases. Beware of substitutes. Use
this standard remedy. Price per large
bottle $1.00
AFTER SEVERAL DOCTORS FAILED
I have been afflicted with Catarrh
for many years, although all sorts of
medicines and several doctors did their
best to cure me. My blood was very i'm
pure, and nothing ever had any effect
upon the disease until I used hat great
Blood Remedy known as Botanic Blood
Balm, (B. b. b., a few bottles of
which effected an entire cure. l rec
ommend it to all who have Catarrh. I
refer to any merchant or banker of
Athens, Ga, and will reply to any in
quiries. K. X.

0ergofng insult and humiliation, and
involuntarily he held out protective
arms. Then memory came back to
him. and he realized the truth. Not
her. but the child. the little girl he re-
membered to have held once on his
knee. He could recall the touch Of that
brown hair against. his cheek. And as
he saw her now in her distress he was
shaken with a passion OF anger and
pity. He would discover himself t
the two women and calm her-she was
his-and carry her OF from all this
Indebtedness. And he tool a step for
ward. Blinded ny his emotion, he had
for a moment lost sight OF his ambi-
tions-but only for the moment. The
slight noise produced by his move
ment among the bushes caused the
countess to turn her head in his di-
rection. n he shrank back, appalled,
by a sudden fear Of detection. There
flashed before his Imagination that
woman's look Of disdain at the reveia-
ton OF connection with a s~emi-nurse-
maid, his los prestige among the rest
Of the party all the uncomfortable
consequences Of a family reconcilia-
ton. His arms dropped at his sides.
and he crept back to his seat opposite
the white lilac; but, for him. all the
beauty had faded from the April day.
He could hear the rustic Of the coun-
tess's dress across the grass as he went
to take her place at the teatable on the
terrace, and the quick steps Of the
nursery governess hurrying back to
her neglected duties till such time as
she was free to go and cry her heart
out in the solitude OF her attic.
The habi of long years a been too
strong for him; he had let the mo-
ment go.
After all he told himself, sitting
crouched up with misery on the gard
en- seat, it was possible he was mis-
taken. He had met before with ex-
traordinary cases Of resemblance.
Only, for his peace of minds sake, he
must never hear her name. He must
leave the place that evening-as Don
as possible. He knew that letters
would have arrived for him by the
afternoon post. He would pretend to
find in these something that would re-
quire his immediate presence in town.
Only to be gone! to be gone! And he
| rose and hurried back to the house at
a feverish pace, avoiding the terrace
and reaching the hall, where he ex-
pected to find his letters, by q side en-
/ trance.
A few minutes later he appeared,
! with an open letter in his hand. among
| the party in front Of the house, and.
going up to his hostess, informed her,
; with some incoherence, of the necessity
for his departure.
"It is too bad Of you, Mr.. Homer
| sham! The punishment for such de-
sertion should be the loss of after
noon tea. But I'm a forgiving crea-
| ture, and here is some of my best brew,
by way of stirrup-cup. I will send for
the dogcart. You will just catch the
$50"
And the countess handed him a cup
Of tea with one Of her most alluring
smiles. But her eyes rested c%uriously
on the gray, drawn face Of the man
who tried, with dry lips, to give her
back an answering smile as, with a
shaking hand, he took the cup from
her.-Katharine Sylvester in The

Take Swift's Specific. 1t is the
only known cure for this deadly dis
ease. 1t will free the system of the
poisons that cause Cancer and other
morbid growths. Even after Cancer
has a deep foothold, it will cure, but
it takes longer. 1t is a medicine
that goes right down to the very
roots Of life in the blood, and forces
out every vestige of impurity. 1t
goes to the sea- of the most obstin.
ate cases, which are beyond the
reach of other blood remedies.
No sufferer who cares for life can
afford to lose time with surgical
operations or torturing plasters, as
such treatment cannot reach the
blood. SWift's Specific is the
only Real Cancer Cure on the face
of the earth.
