While building railroads in Tennessee
some twelve years ago a number of hands
contracted fever and various forms of
blood and skin diseases. Icarried S. SIS.

with most gratifying results. I can recon-
mend S. S. S. as the finest preparation for
Malaria, chills and fever, as we'll as all

I suffered greatly from Boils, which
would break out on different parts of my
body. I saw S. S. S. advertised and after
using about three bottles I was cured,
and for the last three years have had no
trouble whatever. A. w. ZERRR-

Ibegan using your s. S. S. probably ten
years ago for Malaria and blood troubles,
and it proved so good that I have con-

AN IMITATION OF NATURES METHOD
of restoring waste of tissue and impover-
ishment of the blood and nervous force
is used when you take an Alternative ex-
tract of herbs and roots, without the use
of alcohol, like DIR. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery. This vegetable medicine
coaxes the digestive functions and helps
in the assimilation of food, or rather
takes from the food Just the nutriment
the blood requires.
Along with its use one should take
exercise in the outdoor air, get all one
can of Gods sunlight and air and prac-
tice mild breathing exercise each day.
This "Medical Discovery" gives no false
stimulation, because it does not contain
alcohol or narcotic. 1t helps digestion
and the assimilation of such elements in
the food as are required for the blood.
Instead of cod liver oil, against which
the already sensitive stomach will de-
clare open rebellion, this tonic has a
pacifying action upon the sensitive
stomach and gives to the blood the food
elements the tissues require. 1t main
tains ones nutrition by enabling him to
eat, retain, digest and assimilate nutri-
tious food. 1t overcomes gastric irrita-
bility and symptoms of indigestion, and,
in this way, fever, night-sweats, head
aches, ETC., are done away with.

The letters sent by the war CORE
spondents from Toxic are full of
praise of the Spartan courage and res
olution shown by Japanese women at
the present crisis of their country's
fortunes. They send their husbands,
sons, brothers and sweethearts to the
front with a smile upon their lips;
they tell them to be proud of the
chance to die for the Mikado, they tell
them that they must think only of
their duty and not of the girls they
leave behind them.
This Spartan spirit has been culti-
waited in the women of Japan more
than 1000 years, until it has become
second nature to them. In olden
days Japan produced a fine crop of
Amazon warriors, whose exploits live
in history and provided subjects for
those delicately beautiful color prints
of Toyokuni and Hiyodoshi which are
now so popular among American ar
lists and art collectors. Nowadays Jap
anese women do not go to war except
as Red Cross nurses, although several
of them, disguised as soldiers, tried to
be sent to fight against China, and,
according to the Japanese newspapers,
many in the country parts have APP
piled to enlist against Russia. But all
though they have to stay quietly at
home, 1t is evident that the fighting
spirit inherited from generations Of
warlike ancestors on both sides is as
keen as ever.
Japfalese girls, who seem so meek
and tender and loving that the for
eigner would never dream of associat-
ing thought of violence and bloodshed
with them, are taught from their ear
Hest childhood to reverence the En-
press lingo, who conquered Korea, and
are told all about the brave deeds Of
other Amazons who are distinguished
in Japanese history.
A Famous Female Warrior.
Ushiwaka was one of the most fam
nous of these female warriors. She
lived in the Middle Ages of Japan,
and no man could stand against her in
single combat. She is generally rep
resented in the color prints as van
gushing at the same moment three
redoubtable samurai. Sangoku Kuro,
Yanashita Kuro and Surihari Taro.
Another noted Amazon was the Lady
Kurvo, who donned the full armor of
a samurai and went out to battle in
order to have revenge on the man who
had killed her husband. After many
exciting adventures and desperate en-
counters, she eventually slew him in
a hand-to-hand fight.
She was captured by a party of his
"samurai," bound hand and foot, and
taken to his palace. But one of the
young men, who had fallen in love with
her for her beauty and courage, secret
ly cut the bonds at night when she
was awaiting judgment. She stayed
in the garden of the palace all night,
armed with a sword which she had
picked up when her bonds were cut.
In the morning, as she expected, her
husbands murderer came out into the
garden to pay his devotions to the hon
orable bamboo which imprisoned the
spirits of his ancestors. Like good
Shintoist, she allowed him to perform
them in peace, and then walked from
behind a concealing clump of bushes
and offered him the alternative of COM
hitting "hari-kari' or engaging her in

Every day the youth or man must manu-
facture a pint of rich, arterial blood,
that is pure, stimulating to the brain,
and that can rebuild the tissues that
were destroyed in yesterdays work.
A pin prick and drop of blood on a
glass slide will tell whether your blood
is in healthy condition or not. Every
healthy man should have five million
red blood corpuscles to every cubic
millimeter of blood. If there are too
few red blood corpuscles the person
is said to be anemic and run down. A
chemical test of the water from the
human body will tell whether the kid
neys are in good health or not. These
tests of health are conducted by expert
physicians and chemists every day.
Such examinations are made without
cost. This is only very small part of
the work of the staff of physicians and
surgeons under the direction of DIR.
