The Stimulus
of Pure Blood

That is what is required by every
organ of the body, for the proper
performance of its functions.
1t prevents biliousness, dyspep-

rheumatism, catarrh, nervousness,
weakness, faintness, pimples,
blotches, and all cutaneous erup-
tons.
1t perfects all the vital processes.

Sarsaparilla TO make his blood pure. He writes
that he had not felt well but tired for some
time. Before he had finished the first bottle OF
this medicine he felt better. and when he had
taken the second was like another man-free
from that tired feeling, and able TO do his work.

No External
Symptoms.

The blood may be IN bad condition,
yet with no external signs, no skin
eruption or sores to indicate it. The
symptoms in such cases being a variable
appetite, poor digestion, an indescribable
weakness and nervousness, loss of flesh
and general rundown condition of the
system clearly showing the blood has
lost its nutrit:ve qualities, has become thin
and watery. 1t is in just such cases thai
S. S. S. has done some of its quickest and
most effective work by building Up the
blood and supplying the elements lacking
to make it strong ard vigorous.

THE LITTLE FELLERs SToCKIN
Joe Lincoln.

Obi it's Christmas Eve. and moonlight.
and the Christmas air Is chill,
And the frosty Christmas holly shines and
sparkles on the hill,
And the Christmas sleigh-bells jingle, and
the Christmas laughter rings,
As the last stray shoppers hurry, takin'
home the Christmas things;
And up yonder in the attic there's little
trundle bed
Where there's Christmas dreams a-dancin'
through sleepy, curly head,
And it's "Mer1y Christmas" Mary, once
agin fer me and you,
With the little feler's stockin' hangin' up
beside the flue.
'Tisn't silk, that little stockin', and IL
isn't much fer show,
And the darns are pretty plenty round
about the heel and toe,
And its color kinder faded, and its sorter
worn and old,
twill hold;
And the little hand that hung IL by the
chimbly there along
Has a grip upon our heartstrings that 10
mighty firm and strong;
So, old Sanity, don't forgit 1t, though II
isn't fine and new,
That plain little worsted stockin' hangin'
up beside the flue.
