PURELY VEGETABLE
TIE ONE SAFE BL GOD REMEDY

1t is a generally recognized fact
that medicines taken from the botau-
zeal kingdom are better adapted to
the delicate human system, and safer
IN every way than those composed of
strong mineral mixtures. Among
the very best and safest of vegetable
preparations IS S S. s., blood med
cine made entirely of roots, herbs and
barks, in such combination as to
make it the greatest of all blood puri-
fiers and the finest of all to1lics.
S. S. S. does not contain the least
particle of mineral in any form, and
is an absolutely safe medicine for any
one to use. While purifying the
blood, this great vegetable remedy
builds up every portion of the system.
S. S. S. cures Rheumatism, Catarrh,
Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases,
Scrofula, Constitutional Blood Dis
eases, and all impurities and morbid
conditions of the circulation. 1t is
perfectly reliable and safe for children;
and little ones who have been weak
ened with scrofulous affections or
other inherited blood troubles, can
take this mild vegetable remedy with
good results and without the slightest
danger. S. S. S. is unequalled as a
tonic it invigorates every portion of
the system, and the healthy blood it
creates largely assists in overcoming
any arrangement of the stomach
and digestive system If you need
blood medicine you could do no better
than to take S. S. S. 1t has been III
use for more than forty years and is
still recognized as the best. Book on
the blood free to all who write.

SPRING BLOOMS In
WINTER WINDOWS
This is the HGy-Day of Flow.
efing Bulbs.

We continue to prize rows OF
prlm hyacincths in white, rose-pini
and blue, which our grandparents put
in glasses i'm tteir windows. We de-
light in this form of indoor garden
ng for~tae purpose of getting flowers
in anticipation of spring.
We may have Roman hyacincths in
November and daffodils, tulips, poly
anthus, narciagi, crosoLses, SHOW
drops, seillias and lilies of the valley
among other pretty favorites, flower
ing in our rooms in the depth of win
ter. The method OF growing the
hyacincths is simp elenough. They
are grown in glasses.
The Time For Hyacincths.
Many people feel some sort of fas-
cination in watching the gradual
growth OF leaves and flower spike
above, and roots beneath the bulb
where it rests on it's ledge at the top
of the long glass of water The pres
ent is the best time of tie year for
placing hyacdncths in glasses, and
care should be taken to select single
varieties only for this mode of Gull
ture.
The base of the bulb must not lie in
the water when it is first placed in
the glass; there must be the barest
contact between water and bulb.
Kept in the Dark.
For three or four weeks tke glass
must be kept in some dark, dry cham
bier, when the bulb will be found to
have sent down its roots two or three
inches. Then the growing bulb must
be gradually Injured to light-a dark
corner of a cool room first, then some
point little nearer the window, and
finally, when tie roots are we'll grown,
the window itself.
AT all stages the water should be
changed at least every two weeks and
when giving fresh water care should
be taken that only the roots lie in it.
