SCpOFULA'
HEREDITARY BLOOD POISON

Scrofula is a disease manifested
usually by swelling and liberation
of the glands, especially about the
neck. It is almost entirely hereditary
IN its origin, being the dregs or re-
mains of some specific blood poison.
Where the blood is greatly weakened
with the scrofulous poison, the disease
attacks other portions of the system
besides the glands, and then we see its
effects in weak eyes, poorly developed
bodies, running sores and ulcers, skin
diseases, especially on the scalp. ca
tarrhal troubles, etc. Scrofula usually
makes its appearance in childhood.

be reached before the poison pro-
crosses to the stage of outward mani
festation. S. S. S. is the one real cure
for Scrofu1a. It is a blood purifier
without an equal, and it cures this
destructive blood poison by removing
every trace of the infection from the
circulation. S. S. S., in addition to

and the bettors knocked his price down

fsvorite at 10 3, but closed at 3's.
Whether Fernando could have beaten
the winner is problematical, but he

From the st. Joseph News-Press.
The Cardiff Giant, that petrifed. pre-
historic man hoax, certainly turned things
upside down when 1t was fed to q gull
BILE public in 1868.
W. G. Newell, an old farmer of Car
diff. N. Y, found this specimen of an
historic age, while digging a well. The
figure lay like Il giant at rest, with the
trunk OF a tree gracefully reposing upon
It's huge breast. News of the wonderful
IND spread throughout the land.
h giant made an immediate and enor-
nous stir. Examined. discussed and in
dorsed by many men of scholarly stand
Ing, 1t went with the public as a true
specimen of "a strange historic being. and
proved a biz drawing. card as a museum
freak.
But the Cardiff Giant suffered the mis-
fortune that follows in the wake of pop
ularity-he was initiated. and the busi-
ness of taking the fake became exceed
lngly profitable. PIT. Barnum bought
the Cardiff Giant-the real one, he claimed
and carried ii about the country for the
general edifcation of wonder seekers.
The Cardiff Giant is gone now, nobody
knows where. He disappeared from
view when II was learned that she" had
been manufactured in Chicago from a
block OF gypsum sent from Ohio, and Sc
cretly buried In New York state to await
discovery" MT the hands OF a guileless
farmer.
