PHYSICAL WRECK FROM
EFFECTS OF MALARIA.

During 1900 I was running a
farm on the Mississippi River,
and became so impregnated
with malaria and my blood so
poor that for a year afterwards
I was a physical wreck. 1 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. 8,
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
a chill since.

plausible-either it was a matter
of business or of his friends get

we could go into another state.
Always / believed him. 1 had ev-

ION dozen and one occasions
preparations for having the mar
riage ceremony were made and

He was perfectly true and good. l

That was all Strengthened out aft
er a while, but one after another
he had various love affairs. Final
ly he left me to live at the fash
ionable Waverly hotel, only COM
ing out to Drag cut once a week
to see the children, of whom he
always appeared extremely fond.

thing If he would only marry me
and legalize the children. I beg
ged of him that the children
might never know our story. 1 Of
fered to allow him a divorce or
get one myself If he would only
do what was right by the children.
This shame Mr.. Bunker seems
incapable of compromising. Only
the other day he told the oldest
daughter to hold up her head, that
she had nothing of which to be
ashamed. Oh, the pity Of it all,
and we were so happy once"

not do something for the children I
would sue him. He told me to go
