Wheeling, W. Va, May 2S, 1908.
Some years ago while at work, I fell
over truck and severely injured both
of my shins. My blood became poisoned
as a result, and the doctor told me I
would have running sores for life, and
that if they were healed up the result
would be fatal. Under this discouraging
report I left off their treatment and re-
sorted to the use of S. S. S. It's effects
were prompt and gratifying. It took
only short while for the medicine to en-
tirely cure up the sores, and am not
dead as the doctors sintimated, nor have
the sores ever broke out again. Some ~
years have elapsed since what have de-
scribed occurred. Having been so signa1ly
benefited by its use I can heartily recon-
mend It as the one great blood purifier.

Chronic sores start often from a pim-
pie, scratch, bruise or boil, and while
sa1ves, washes and powders are beneficial,
the unhealthy matter in the blood must
be driven out or the sore will continue
to eat and spread. S. S. S. reaches
these old sores through the blood, re-
moves all impurities and poisons, builds
up the entire system and strengthens
the circulation. S. S. S. is a blood
purifier and tonic combined. Contains

AFTER TWENTY FIVE YEARS
Rev. j. S. Norris, OF Chicago,
was in this city Saturday and
Sunday

1t will be remembered that he was
pastor of the First Congregational
church in this city 25 years ago, and
he had not been here since. He said
that Grand Rapids had changed so in
this period of time, that he hardly
recognized any familiar scenes, except
in few instances. He spoke of the
great flood in 1880, and the drowning
of George Furgeson, and that he
preached his funeral service. He
spoke of H. b. Philleo, then one of
the leading business men of Grand
Rapids, editor of the REPORTER, and
prominent worker in the COngrega-
tiOnal church, and that he officiated at
Mr.. PhilleO's funeral service before he
left Grand Rapids. He also reminded
us of the fact that he organized the
First Congregational church at Pitts
vile when he was here, and wondered
whether the society was still in exist
ance. He was delighted in the
progress that he noticed on every
hand, and that Grand Rapids had
grown from mere hamlet to city
of nearly 1000 people. He also said
there was an air of prosperity and
growth that was pleasing to him. He
met a few old time friends, with
whom he renewed his acquaintance,
and his short stay in this city was
made very pleasant to him. He
hoped TO come again, when he could
make longer stay. He reported the
death of three children in his family
since he left Grand Rapids and that
his wife and three children Still
living were well, and desired to be
remembered to Grand Rapids friends.
He followed the ministry for sixteen
years after he left Grand Rapids,
most of the time being spent in the
state of Iowa, until his health broke
down, and he suffered nervous pros
tration. Since then he has spent
some time in sanitarium, and has
travelled about the country in the
interests of his health, and has built
himself again to something of his
former health. We enjoyed our visit
with him, from the fact that he
brought back many incidents of the
long ago that we had almost entirely
forgotten, Mr.. Norris left the city on
Monday morning for Appleton and
Green Bay. where he will spend
several weeks before returning to his
home in Chicago.

En7nW wonted spectacle that same
WW day had presented itself to
the astonished gaze Of the workers In
neighboring vineyard. Cleaning
with crimson and gold. a number of
tents had appeared as by magic on the
mount. the temporary encampment of
rich and numerous cavalcade. But II
was not the splendent aspect Of this
unexpected bivouac itself so much as
the colors and designs Of the flags and
banners floating above Which aroused
the wonderment of the tillers Of the
soil. Here cleaned no salamandcr

This Is the cable which Henry has
repeatedly denied having sent and
which The Star received back by cable
last Monday. It's statement that there
were 662 grains of strychnine is in
correct, the amount indicated by analy-
sis being about half of one grain. The
San Francisco papers Of the next
morning all had the same publication.
The Stanford tragedy fills a large
amount Of space in all the San Fran
cisco newspapers, and the murder
theory is practically the only one Sc
rlously considered there. The files
show several cables from High Sheriff
Henry to the chief Of police including
the above.
Some of those discussing the case
in the San Francisco press show strong
