A PHYSICAL WRECK FROM
EFFECTS OF MALARIA.

During 1900 I was running a
farm on the Mississippi River
and became so impregnatsd
with malaria and my blood so
poor that for a year afterwards
I was a physical wreck. I took
a number of medicines recon-
mended as blood purifiers, chill
cures and malaria eradicators,
but nothing did me any good
until I began to use S. S. s.,
which I did about a year ago.
The result was that after taking
several bottles of the large size
I was as well and strong as I
ever was, and have never had
chill since.

FIGHT no A DRAW

PITTsBURG, Sept. Neither Ad
Wolgast nor Harlem Tommy Murphy
could show a shade the better of each
other at the end of their six round bout
here tonight. Throughout the bout
each struggled to assume the lead, but
fight fans declared it was the cleanest
draw witnessed here for some years.
Both fighters clamored loudly for re-
turn match. Despite his showing with
Battling Nelson, WolgaSt failed to
display the form expected of him.

NOR went around that he had been
shot, being mixed up in some trouble

srOvAINE GIVEN NEW TEST
Ether Was Resorted to When Effect,
Began to Die Out.

Philadelphia, Dec 16.-Dr. Thorn
as Jonnesco, discoverer of stoyalne,
today gave a successful demonstra-
ton In two cases at a clinic In the
University hospital OF his method
OF administering a mixture of sto-
valne and strychnine to produce in
sensibility to pain in a patient under
going major operations. In a third
case an operation to remove a tumor
from the breast of a woman, the
demonstration was generally consid-
cred by the physicians present to be
OF double value.
In this case a severe test was i'm
posed upon the new Roumanian
anaesthetic. II was the only case in
the three in which the site of the
operation day in the upper region
OF the body. and in which an injec-
ton of the analgestic or pain dead
ener. had to be made at n point high
In the spinal column. Much to the
disappointment of the spectators. it
was found necessary an hour after
the operation had started to aban-
don the stovaine-strychnine analges-
ic and to fall back on ether. The
operation then was continued to a
successful conclusion. When Il was
seen the effects of the stovaine we're
wearing away in this case. DR.. JON
nesco advised the administration Of
ether and then left the hospital He
was afterwards frank in his opinion
that tae necessity to use ether arose
from the fact that the operating sur.
geon took too much time at his
work.
