ICE CHEAP IN PERSIA.

The fact that ice is plentiful and
cheap makes living Persia more
pleasant than it would otherwise be,
and the fact that it can be obtained
at all is indicative of the ingenuity
Of the people of the country. The
ground is so porous that water per-
colates through quickly. There are
therefore few rivers or lakes from
which ice can be obtained, and it is
seldom so cold in any par. of Persia
that ice of a thickness suitable for

his ice by making shallow pool and
building a high wall which will pro
tect it from the sun. A thin layer
of ice will form: this he floods at
night with water, and 30 he goes on
adding inch to inch until he can cui

MA TURE'S CURE FOR
CHRONIC ULCERS

Only by removing the cause can
any chronic Ulcer or Old Sore be
cured. No one will question the
truthfulness Of this statement The
cause is always from an inward source,
never an outward influence, and there
fore the only possible way to get rid
OF these places is to take internal
treatment. Pure blood is the one
uniailing cure for chronic ulcers;
just as long as the circulation is al
lowed to remain in an impure condi-
tion the place will be kept open from
the constant discharge OF Impurities
into it from the blood. But pure
blood will change this condition and
the flesh tissues will be nourished
and made healthy, and then nature
will promptly and permanently heal
the ulcer S. S. S. is recognized as
the greatest of all blood purifiers and
therein lies its power to cure old
ulcers and sores. 1t goes into the
circulation, and removes every trace
OF impurity or infectious matter, and
so cnriches this vital fluid that it
nourishes all flesh tissues instead Of
irritating them with impurities.
When S. S. S. has cleansed the blood
and the place has healed over it is
not surface cure, but the ulcer is
filled in with healthy flesh from the
bottom. Free book and any medical
advice will be sent to all sufferers vino
will write Us. S. S. S. is for sale at
