Grmer hold than ever. I tried a number of
blood remedies, but their mineral ingredie .
settled in my bones and gave me rheumatism.
I was in a ~lamentable condition, and after ex-
h~austing all treatment, was decla~redincurable.
Seeing S. S. S. advertised as a cure for blood
diseases, I decided to try it. AS soon as my
system was under the effect of the medicine,
1 began to improve. and after taking it for
two months 1 was cured completely, the
dreadful disease was eradicated from my sys-

Sam Jones Drawing Power.

ONAAA AAS
What is the secret Of the won
derful drawing power Of the Rev.
Sam Jones?
It will not do to say that it is
curiosity, for thousands OF the
same people go to hear him preach
whenever they get a chance. They
go time and time again. 1t will
not do to say that it is his humor
or wit and sarcasm. for there T
other pulpit orators and platform
speakers vino possess those quail
ties and yet cannot attract and
hold the great masses. The fact
that he is pathetic and eloquent at
times will not explain why he is
such d magnet to the multitude.
True, the qualities mentioned
form admirable aids to the attrac-
tiveness Of his sermons, but the
grand secret Of his success in
drawing and enchanting untold
myriads of men, women and
children Of all classes and eondi-
lions is that he always talks upon
themes in which all the people
feel a deep interest in a way
which they perfectly understand.
The most learned discourses,
the ablest expositions of divinity,
the most profound and schol-
arly efforts delivered in the pulls
pit attracts and pleases only
those minds which can take them
in and thoroughly comprehend
their meaning.
And this is the chief reason
why SO many so-called great
preachers fail to reach and benes
fit the masses of the people, They
appeal to the cultured few.
But the Rev. Sam Jones, with
genuine sympathy and rare earn
estness, speaks right straight to
the "business and bosoms'' OF
men, drawing his homely bni
powerful illustrations from
everyday life, clinching his patty
put and effectiYe arguments with
popular anecdote and familiar
incident, and throwing the origi
nality of his method into every
phrase and every paragraph.
The Rev. Sam Jones consent.
to be himself and the people
understand him.

asked why SO many peopl'
focked to hear him said.

BUSINESS HEALTHY.
Most Satisfactory Condition in
Six Years.

DIX IcdfSs
New York, Sept. 30.-Dun's
Review of trade for the week says
to day:
Failures in September have been
about S., 700, 900, and for the
quarter about $22, S75, 900. No
report covering the exact month
or quarter is possible this week,
but returns indicate a smaller ag-
gregate of failures than in any
other month in many years except
August this year. Evidently COM
plete returns to be given next
week will show that the state of
business is more satisfactory than
it ever has been unless in one quar-
ter of 1892.
Changes are all for the better
excepting the fall of cotton to the
lowest point for fifty years, ana
even the lowest prices of 1913,
considering the difference of quail
tiles, were perhaps not lower than
prices this week. After sales at
1881 on Monday there bas been a
slight recovery, with the hope that
so low price might prove bottom,
but with good crops the lowest
price Of a year has never been
reached in it's first month. If there
were on hand commercial and mill
stocks unusually large, OF if man
ufacturing were more successful,
early recovery might seem posi-
BILE, but the heavy fall in material
has affected the demand for goods,
causing buyers to expect still
lower prices, although after the
decline last week goods now aver-
age lower than ever before. While
stagnation in wool continues, nun
erous mills have started temporare
lily in order to get out sample
pieces. The demands for boots
and shoes seems little better te
date.
