You have the most convincing evidence of this
fact every day. Otherwise beautiful faces married with
black heads, blotches and pimPles, muddy or sallow COM
and red, rough or oily skins are some of the
most common and conspicuous sYnnDtoms of bad blood.
The semi-weekly messenger. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1897-1908, 1902-04-11

Under the purifying and tonic effects Of S. S. S.
all impurities are expelled from the blood, the
general health is invigorated, and all dishguring
and annoying eruptons promptly and perma-
nently disappear from the skin, and it becomes as
soft and smooth as ever.
Bad blood tells in many other ways. Itch
ing and burning eruptions, rashes and sores, boils
and carbuncles show the presence of some irrita-
ting poison or unhealthy matter in the blood, and
these aggravating troubles will continue until the
weak and slow circulation has been quickened
and the deteriorated blood made rich and strong
again. Some are born with bad blood, and it beg
sore eyes, scalp diseases, nasal catarrh, stunted or

How to Employ Indians.

The problem of finding occupations
for our American Indians that would
be at once congenial and lucra live has
never been successfully solved. says
Ella ii. Cooper in How to Educate the
Indians" in Gunton's Magazine for
May. They have been placed ut tasks
for which they have no natural apti-
tude and forced into competition with
the skilled labor of alien races, willie
the arts in which they excelled were
neglected. In basketry. the most an
cient of arts. their work cannOt be sur
passed, yet we are told that il is fast
taking its place among the lost and for
gotten handicrafts Had this industry
been favored by protective legislation
it would have furnished remunerative
employment for the Indian men and
women when not otherwise occupied.
A tariff that would have checked the
influx of japanese work competing in
the same line would have reserved this
home market for our own aborigines
The sweet grasses. the quilts and
feathers. the birch bark and beads. all
the materials which the Indian has ap-
prOpriated and used with peculiar and
fascinating effect. should be left in his
skilful hands. and encouragement and
guidance in the marketing of his wares
should not be lacking. The hands that
weave the baskets can braid hats as
well. The sweet grasses that blend in
the dainty fan would be no less effec-
tive in rustic outing hats. Bead Dor
there's could be strung by Indians as
well as by Asiatics. and our homes
could be beautified by the labors and
genius Of those we have supplanted in
this land

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way To cure deafness, and that is by cODstitu-
tiOnal remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
eustachian tube. When this tube gets infiamed
you have a rumblng sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored To its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an iniiamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
cast of deafness tcaused by catarrh) that can

MONT PElEE ERUPTION.
Graphic Description by Owner of Estate
Near st. Pierre.

NJ. Albert. the owner ana manager oil
the Lagarrane estate, which lies about
a mile northeast of the crater of Mont
Pelee, recently arrived at Port of Spain,
Trinidad. with his family on the steam
ship Canada from Martinique. He
tells story Of marvellous escape
from the death that swept St Pierre
out of existence. says the New York

says:
