Victoria Falls. Zambesi, East Africa, Sept I2.--The, bridge over the Zam- besi river was formally opened today ln the presence of the visiting mem bers of the British Association. Pro xeseor Darwin made the opening speech He commented on the re- markable achievement which permit ted a party travelling in electric light pd saloon cars to visit a place which heroic explorers had spent months or 3ruftless endeavors to reach. Profes- sor Darwin quoted the forecast writ ten by Erasmus Darwin in 1875: Soon shall thy arm, unconquered, steam afar: urge the slow barge and draw the flying car.'
 How little, he said, could the writ CT of these lines have foreseen for his great grandson the honor of opening a railway bridge in the heart of Equatorial Africa.
 At the conclusion of his speech Pro- lessor Darwin touched an electric but ton which fused a wire stretched across the backs of the bridge and an engine decorated with Union Jacks passed over. The party then proceed ed on an excursion to Livingston Is land.
 The bridge over the Zambesi river, the highest in the world--was linked up at a. m, April 10; the present year. thus completing another link in the Cape to Cairo railway. The bridge, which is of cantilever type, is $40 feet above the river at low water and crosses over the gorge at Victoria Falls The bridge was built by an English company

Wheeling, w. Va, May 20, 1908.
Some years ago while at work, I fell
over truck and severely injured both
of my shins. My blood became poisoned
as 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 left off their treatment and re-
sorted to the use Of S. S. S. It's effects
were prompt and gratifying. 1t took
only short while for the medicine to en-
tire1y cure up the sores, and am not
dead as the doctors intimated, nor have
the sores ever broke out again. Some II
years have elapsed since what have de-
scribed occurred. Having been so signally
benefited by its use can heartily recon-
mend It as the one great blood purifier.

Chronic sores start often from PIN,
pie, scratch, bruise or boil, and while
salves, 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
