Is the only cure for Poison Oak, Poison
Ivy, and all noxious plants. It is COM
posed exclusively of roots and herbs. Now
IS the time to get the poison out of your
system, as delay makes your condition
worse. Don't experiment longer with
salves, washes and soaps-they never cure.
MIS- M: Marshall, bookkeeper of the Atlanta
(Ga.) Gas Light Co., was poisoned with Poison
Oak. He took Sulphur, Arsenic and various
other drugs and applied externally numerous
lotiora and salves with no benefit. At times the
swelling and Inflammation was 50 severe he was
almost blind For eight years the poison would
break out every season. His condition was much
improved after taking one bottle of s. S. s.. and
. few bottles cleared his blood of the poison, and
all evidences of the disease disappeared.
People are often poisoned without
knowing when or how. Explain your case
fully to our -physicians, and they will
cheerfully give such information and ad-
vice as you require, without charge, and
we will send at the same time an interest

FARMERS ALARMED.

Clinton Democrat The recent rains
are making the farmers feel uneaey
again. They were about becoming
reconciled to the prospect of half
crop, but it looks now as it even this
much comfort is to be denied them.
Crops in the lowiands along the
branches and streams are a perfect
failure. Freshet after freshet has come
to wipe out every chance of harvest.
Many farmers have made as many a.
three efforts to get crop-every time
the flood rose and shattered their
hopes.

almost as soon as the little blisters and
pustules appeared the poison had reached
the blood, and will break out at regular
intervals and each time in a, more aggra-
waited form. This poison will loiter in the
system for years, and every atom of it
must be forced out of the blood before you
can expect a perfect, permanent cure.

Kings County acted as chairman and

opened the discussion by relating his ex-

lar parasite is said to be one of vegetable
origin, which produces a sWeet-tasting
excretiOn very much fancied by bees and
carried by them into the opening blossoms
of the pear tree. He told of the efforts of
the orchardists to stamp out the pests and
the means that had been adopted to- ex-
terminate the bees, which are in this in
stance regarded as trespassers upon the
orchards. He said the beekeepers had been
notified to keep their bees at home. and
that f they did not they would find their
honey crop very short

RESIDENT ROOSEVELT has virtually taken
- charge of the movement to bring about the
i enactment of the Chinese exclusion law

Our information from Washington further assures
US that the President has the support of over

amended and improved act of exclusion is therefore
certain.

also be protected lar it is possible from the pres

contract or any of those who coming freely yet repre-

to lower level. regard it necessary, with this
end in view, to Immediately the law exclud
ing Chinese laborers and to strengthen it wherever
necessary in order to make its enforcement entirely
effective"
Our dispatches from Washington announce that
so far as the poll of Congressman the subject has
been carried only one man has been found opposed
to the exclusion act. The matter has been placed in
charge of Mr. Powderly, Commissioner of lnlm-
grafton. and he is now in consultation with the Cali
forna delegation and others for the purpose of de-
yisng an act which will be thoroughly satisfactory
IN every respect.
