The secondary stage begins generally
with a slight fever, with a breaking out
on various parts of the body, and with n
rash usually resembling measles, but in
a more scattered form. Then little white
cankcrous sores will appear in the mouth
and OH the tongue.
The patient will have become by this

OF sharp, torturing pains all over the

There may be severe headache, the hair

running sores, presenting Il loathsomc

THIRD STAGE.
The third stage of specific blood poison

condition that the human flesh can fall

Twelve years ago Mr.. John M. Jones
of Caldwell county, Ky, began to suffer
from terrible sores on his arms as the
result of blood poisoning, and in n short
time on his left arm seventeen running
sores developed Between the hand and
the elbow. These were very painful and
very offensive, incapacitating him entirely
for work. The pain was so severe that
he could not sleep without elevating his
arm on a pillow.
After undergoing excruciating torture
for years, and treating with the best ply
s%icians, he went to Nashville, Tenn, and
underwent a course of treatment with q
specialist. This was all unavailing and
finally the matter was submitted TO a
consultation of doctors and they decided
that the only way to save his life was by
amputating the arm.
At the time he arrived in the city to
have this operation performed, Mr.. Jones
happened to meet Mr.. Hugh Mayes who
was then the proprietor of Foerg's Rem
edy. Mr.. Mayes became Immediately in
terested in the case and proposed to Mr..
Jones that he would furnish him with
Foerg's Remedy absolutely free so that he
might give it a good trial and perhaps in
his way save his arm. Mr.. Jones ac-
copied the offer and about eight months
ago began taking this remedy.

1t is a disease that drags the victim

liable ending-death.
Specific blood poisoning is growing in
an alarming way. doctors and even
specialists confess they are not able to
cope with it.
Anyone who is afflicted with speciic
blood poison in the primary or second
airy stages is a danger to everyone with
whom he comes in contact.
For instance, the members of n family
may all contract it by using the same
articles, a servant or visiting friend may
infect the innocent babe of the house
hold simply by kissing 1t; parents may
infect their children, husband their wives,
and friends their associates.
COURSE OF TIE DISEASE.
For the first few weeks after the victim
has become infected, he will notice moth
ing unusual, and his health will be ap-
parently undlSturbed, This Is called
the period of incubation, during which
time no symptoms whatever will appear.
Nevertheless during this time, the dis
ease is quickly r~ipening, gathering force
and virulence, ready to burst out in all
its terrors within a few weeks.
FIRST STAGE.
The first symptom OF specific blood
poisoning appears at the place where the
poison first entered the system, on the
mouth or tongue, around the finger nails,
or any other part of the body, depending
entirely on the source of infection.
These sores have n peculiar hardness
surrounding and undertaking the scab.
Sometimes, however, the only evidences
OF the primary infection are fine pimples
at the point of incubation.
In about n month or less time, the
glands nearest to the sore will enlarge,
become hard and sometimes break,
SECONDARY STAGE.
From two weeks 70 two months after
this appearance of the first sore, tho
symptoms of the secondary stage will
appear.
Right here lot US say that because tho
primary sore has been healed either by
the use of ~eaustic5 or by nature itself,
it Is no proof that the disease is not
still in the system,

vate his arm in a pillow and that on one
occasion he came to Princeton for the
purpose of submitting to an operation by
having his arm amputated, that being tho
only hope as held out by tho best ply
SicianS. After arriving in Princeton his
heart failed him and he refused to have
the operation performed, saying he would
rather die than submit to it. About that
time Mr.. Hugh Mayes, proprietor of
Foerg's Remedy, proposed to him that he
would furnish him this great blood rem
edy absolutely free, saying he was conf
dent it would cure him. Mr.. Jones ac-
began taking 1t and that today he only
has two sores running at all and they
are almost stopped. Mr.. Jones attributes
his being alive today to this great rem

could plainly see that he has been greatly

No Need to Take Chance In Uncle

There are million acres of land in

in this state that are better than the
land in the Rosebud reservation, over
which there is such scramble. There
are free homes Within fifteen miles
of Dickinson, and there is stretch
of country south of that point and
west that is as good land as ever lay
out doors for mixed farming and stock
raising. There is lot of good land
in Billings county, around the Rainy
Butte district, on Beaver creek and on
Sand creek. On the latter there is an
outcropping of a Ignite coal vein that
is six feet deep.
All the country south of Dickinson
is susceptible to farming and it is we'll
watered by numerous small streams,
which makes it an ideal section for
either farming or stock raising. If ir-
rigation is desired 1t can be put in
