old Sores
DUE TO DISEASED BLOOD

Every symptom of an old sore sug-
gests diseased blood. The inflamma-
ton, discharge, discolored flesh, and
the fact that local applications have
no permanent effect toward healing
the ulcer, shows that deep down in
the system there is a morbid cause for
the sore. But more convincing proof
that bad blood is the cause for these
places is furnished by the fact that
even removing the sore or ulcer by
surgical operation does not cure; they
always return. Nature will heal any
sore if the blood is pure aud healthy,
but until the circulation is cleansed
of all impure matter and supplied
with nourishing and plasmic qualities
the infected condition of flesh is
OBLIGED to remain. S. S. S. heals
Old Sores in a perfectly natural way
It goes into the blood, removes the
impurities and morbid matters. adds

proposition was proposed in a resolu-
ton by Representative Bennett. 1t
reads "That the president be request
ed to commence and continue nego-
tiations with the British government
to secure the annexation of Canada to
the United States. Dennis declares
he introduced the resolution purely
on his own motion and in good faith.
Speaker Cannon was in the lobby
when the bill was introduced but de-
clined to discuss the bill
Bennett introduced an auxiliary
resolution shortly before, calling upon
the president for any information in
the possession of the executive de-
partment in regard to annexation.
President Taft is Infatuated at this
annexation resolution. 1t is declared
the resolution is an attempt of disap-
pointed enemies of reciprocity to de-
feat it through the unfair means of in
volving the proposition into interna-
tional misunderstanding While Taft
realizes that the action of Bennett
will create sensational story in
some of the English papers, he does
not believe it will be taken seriously.

said was made the subject of discus

leaders of the suffragist cause in
newspaper interviews for days. Not
