BAD FORM OF letter.

For three years I had letter on my hands,
which caused them to swell to twice their
natural size. Part of the time the disease
was in the form of running sores, very pain
far to be cured, and they could do nothing
for me. Itook only three bottles of S. S. S.
and was completely cured. This was fifteen
years ago, and have never since seen any
sign Of my old trouble.

DEAR SIRs-My body broke out with

night, was simply terrible; it would almost
disappear at times, only to return worse than
ever. had tried many preparations with
out benefit, and hearing of S. S. S. determin-

me entirely, removing every blemish and

KANSAS CITY, Mo, May, ISe

KANSAS CIrY, Mo-, May, 1898.
In 1896 1 experienced at times
patches on the inside of my hands that
itched and burned, causing much dis
comfort. AS tine went by it grew
worse. I had read medicine in my
carly twentics (now 80 years of age)
and was convinced that was afflicted
with a type of Eczema. 1 consulted
several physicians and a number of
SPECIALISTS, and used several external
applications, one of which was claim
I'd to be a certain specific. I confess,
however, 1 had but little faith in
external applications, yet used them,
receiving but sl:@llt temporary relief.

we have not been discussing the tenn
I. rerance question from moral point

Our contention is that much OF the alco-

and the consumption OF such liquors Is
greatly e1agEdr1ling the liQuor EVIL
some men are going TO dirk alcoholic
LIQUORS, no matter whF.>scrs OF legal
regulations are made. and while the
government cannot prevent them from
drinking. il can prevent liquor dealers
from selling poisonous drinks, and that
is the point %
The Times Dispatch does not believe
in prohibition. Taking the practical view.
we are convinced that, In the cities and
towns, certainly, or wherever there Is
q large collection Of men, it is better to
have liquor sold under the sanction and
regulation of the law; but when the
government legalzes the liquor traffic, 1t
assumes a responsibility which it cannot
shirk. When'tht" city OF Richmond. for
example, grants a franchise TO a street
car company to operate It's cars on the
highways Of the city, It requires such
a company to take all possible precau.
tionary measures to preserve the public
safety. 1t is not permitted to such a
company to operate cars that are danger
Gus or TO operate any sort Of cars with
dangerous men. BY the same token. when
the city Of Richmond grants license TO
n man TO conduct a saloon. It Is under
obligation to see that the man Is himself
proper person." as the law provides:
that his place of business is Suitable
place" and especially that the liquor
which he sells is pure. BY liquors, we do
pot mean necessarily the most cXpcn-
sive liquors We simply mean that the
stu:: shall be free from hurtful adul'
,cration. When the city falls to do this
It neglects a bounden duty and its neg
lect is reckless and objectionable.
Abolish impure liquors and at once
we are rdded Of the major part of tho
liquor evil.
