BAD BLOOD,
BAD COMPLEXION.

The skin is the seat of an almost end.
less variety Of diseases. They are known
by various names, but are all due to the
same cause, acid and other poisons in
the blood that irritate and interfere with
the proper action Of the skin.
To have a smooth, soft skin, free from
all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure
and healthy. The many preparations Of
arsenic and potash and the large number
Of face powders and lotions generally
used in this class of diseases cover up
for short time, but cannot remove per.
manently the ugly blotches and the red,
dis6guring pimples.
Eternal vigilance Is the pPlO0
Of a beautiful complexion
when such remedies are relied on.
Mr.. H. T. Shobe, z7o4 Lucas Avenue, St. Louis,
No, says: my daughter was afflicted for years
with dshguring eruption on her face, which
resisted all treatment. She was taken TO two
celebrated health springs, but received no bene-
81. Many medicines were prescribed, but with
out result until we decided to try S. S. S., and by
the time the FIRST bottle vas finished the eruption
began to disappear. dozen bottles cured her
completely and left her skin perfectly smooth.
She Is now seventeen years old, and not sign OF
the embarrassing disease has ever returned"
S. S. S. is a positive, unfailing cure for
the worst forms of skin troubles. II is
the greatest of all blood purifiers, and the
only one guaranteed purely vegetable.

RAILROAD TO YUCATAN.
TWO AMERICANS COMPLETE DEAF
WITH MEXICAN GOVERNMENT
Will Put City of Mexico and All AM
erican Cities in Connection With
Yucatan.

City of Mexico, May ~ V. Midselev
and Robert Eastman of Chicago, who
have completed a very important deal
with the Mexican government, will soon
return home Mr. Midgeley is we'll
known in railroad circles as having been
for % years commissioner of the asso-
ciated railways westward from Chicago.
These gentlemen were invited by the
government to examine the project for
the construction for a railroad down to
Yucatan, starting from the Isthmus Of
Tehauntepec, the line now being RECON-
structed by Sir Weetmap Pearson The
connection with the railroad system Of
| the republic will be made by means Of a
road that Frederick B. Mason, an Amer
lean contractor. is now building from a
point on the old Vera Cruz line down to
the Tehuantepec road. The Importance
of this new line will be seen when it is
said that it will put the City of Mexico
and all American cities in connection
with Yucatan and Guatemala which
branch line now being built will be the
llfst section of the great Pan American
railway to open up Central and South
America. The first part of the line, when
completed, will be one thousand miles
loIls, making VI one OF the greatest trunk
roads of this country. Its construction
means the consolidation Of the federal
power of the southeastern portion Of
Mexico and the affording, not only of a
commercial route of the highest value,
but the privilege of a strategical line in
case of war. Before the hostilities in
South Africa began this line was pro-
jected to be built down into Belize, or
British Honduras, and Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain took much interest in it.
London capitalists had it under advise
ment and the road would probably have
been constructed under British control
but the diversion of the attention of the
British capitilists, caused by timidity,
and now Americans will probably con-
struct the line, and the orders for nlate-
rials will go to the United States
