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
saives, washes and soaps-they never cure.
MT. S. NJ. 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
lotions and salves with no benefit At times the
swelling and inflammation was SO 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
q 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

almost as soon as the little bIisters and
pustules appeared the poison had reached
the blood, and will break out at regular
intervals and each time in 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 perfect, permanent cure.

THE GOVERNOR WAS RIGHT

The Danville Register OF July 2nd
seemingly undertakes to create the
impression that GOV. Montague
snubbed the friends of Judge Aiken.
OF that city because he did not care
to take up the Corporation Commits
sion question while visiting friends i'm
his old home.
We are of the opinion that the
Governor showed wisdom in declin-
ing to be a party to an effort In be
half OF any one candidatefor this inn
portant position.
Should he have doneSo every Other
candidate (and there are 100 would
have had a perfect right to expect
him TO treat them in similar man
ner.
The State OF Virginia provides its
Chief Executive with a suite of rooms
in the Capital and every citizen has "a
right to call ON the Governor there
and lay before him any and all mat
ters of interest and benefit to tie
Commonwealth. Why. then. should
the good people of Danville expect
him to open up headquarters in that
city and listen TO the speeches of
friends of some particular candidate
Tor office who perchance should hap
pen to be a resident Of that place.
We are not Inclined to believe that
this great hue and cry that the Gov
ernor has turned Judge Aiken down
ever eminated from the people of
Danville. but rather found it, birth
in the minds of few who were OPP
posed TO Montague'S candidacy for
the Executive Chair.
Possibly Senator james. the pro-
prietor of the Register, could give Ms
some light on the subject.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Another Southern negro-W. ".
Lucas, Secretary of the Negro Young

Congress-is seeking the moral and
intellectual emancipation Of his race
During last week, Lucas addressed
a large audience of colored people in
Mobile, Alabama. and, judging from
that part of his speech which has
been published. he has given evidence
of his ability to help his people.
Here are few excerpts from hi~
