sufferer from scrofulous affection of
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, ?. c.,
Springfield, ILL.,, and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to re-
mova1 of the gland. At this critical mo-
ment friend recommended SIS,

dice against all patent medicines, | be-
gan its use. Before had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had only used your SIS. long ago,
would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $3.50
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. SIS. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root Of
the disease and forces it out perma-
neutly.

Carter's house, the Two eldest daughters
of K. B. Holcomb, SIX and four and
half years, were seriously injured by be-
ing flung against a tree. The youngest
suffered with bruised head which at
first was feared would produce concus-

pid for several hours. The eldest suf-
fered a cracked jaw, front teeth pushed
in and lip cut so badly that DR. Marcy
felt obliged to put stitch in to make it
knit together the quicker, besides her
whole little body seemed strained and
bruised. They are now improving as
fast as Nature and the seriousness of the
accident will allow and it is hoped will
soon be out again but not to slide from
