completely Quilted by the flames and

But for the efficient work Of the vol

probably have been $4,000, instead of
$4,000. The big freight house piled full
of freight, was only short distance
from the burning building and several

The building was empty at the time,
only containing a carload of oats. The

BAD BLOOD
INVITES DISEASE

The blood supplies nourishment and
strength to every part of the body when
it is rich, pure and healthy. When from
any cause it becomes diseased or weak it
cannot supply the nutriment the system
needs, andthe body is unable to resist the
diseases and troubles that are constantly
sssailing it to break down the health.
I have used s. s. s. and found it to be
an excellent blood purifier and tonic.
MY blood was weak and impure, and as
q result my system became very much
run down and debilitated. I lost twenty
or more pounds in weight, had no appe-
tite and was in bad shape. Seeing 8. S. s.
advertised I began it's use, and am we'll
pleased with the results after using 1T
for some little while. My system and
general health have been wonderfully
built up, and l no not hesitate to give

Rheumatism, Skin Diseases, Scrofula,
Catarrh, Old Sores, Malaria, Contagious
Blood Poison, ETC., are the results of bad
or diseased blood, and until this vital
fluid is cleansed and made pure, strong
and healthy, these diseases will continue:
The greatest of all blood purifiers and
tones is S. S. S. It has been curing all
diseases of the blood for more than forty
years by going down to the very root of
the trouble, forcing out all poisons and
Impurities and building up every part of
the system by its fine tonic effect. S. S. S.
