Doctors Can't
Cure 1t!

Contagious blood poison is absolutely
beyond the skill Of the doctors, They
may dose a patient for years on their
mercural and potash remedies, but he
will never be rid Of the disease; on the
other hand, his condition will grow
steadily worse. S. s. s. is the only cure
Tor this terrible aflliction, because il is
the only remedy which goes direct TO
the cause Of the disease and forces it
from the system.

Dancing Birds.

One Of the many strange sights on
the plains Of southern Africa is a party
of waltzing ostriches Their queer an
tics have been described thus:
when there are number of them,
they will start off in the morning and
after running few hundred yards will
stop, and with raised wings will whirl
rapidly round till they are stupefied or
perhaps break leg The males pose
also before fighting and 10 make their
court. They kneel on their ankles,
opening their wings and balancing
themselves alternately forward and
backward or to one side or the other,
while the neck is stretched ON a level
with the back and the bead strikes the
sides, now ON the right, now ON the
left. while the feathers are bristliug
The bird appears at this time SO absorb
ed in its occupation as TO forget all that
Is going ON around him and can be ap

utters a cry, which sounds much like

while Mr.. Glaciers D'Artagnan is the same
