New Methods of
Treating Consumption

After a number of years OF sue
cessfully fighting Consumption in the
various countries of Europe, there
has ben brought to the United States
a preparation which bids fair to take
the lead in the war on the Great
White Plague.
This preparation, which Is called
"Sirolln." does away with the neces-
sity of the patient seeking a dry cli-
mate. and obtains just as remarkable
results in the dampest localities.
There Is scarcely prominent physi-
clan in Europe who Is not prescrib-
ing Sirolin with remarkable results,
and the medical profession in our
own country have also taken 1t UP.
You can learn more about Sirolin by
addressing the Sirolin Company, 22S
West Broadway, New York City.
All leading druggists are recon-
mending and distributing Sirolin with
considerable success.

attorney. "As my income increased and
more children were born to US, / gave
her more until three years ago. I was
giving her $50 a week. At that she had
no gas. electric light bills. or rent to

than could afford and was borrowing
to keep the amount up
Mr.. I.apDe was deeply affected and
hardly could speak. He said that for
long time before he and his wife sep
arated they would go to parties to-
grthcr without speaking.
One OF the children would tell me
she wanted 20 go to the home of some
friend OF ours. and 1 would say All

her back. She wrote letters TO me while
we were living in the same house. She

system.
General bodily weakness, tired, worn-out feeling,
tickle appetite poor digestion, nervousness. etc.. come

through pure, rich blood.
S. S. S. is the greatest of all toncs because it is
the greatest of all blood purifiers 1t builds up the
system in the natural way, by purifying the blood and
supplying increased amount OF nourishment.
S. S. S. gives healthful energy to every member Of
the body it increases the appetite, helps digestion,
quets overstained nerves, and in every way adds to
the physical comfort of those who use it as tonic
Do not "mope around" and 'feel BAD this Spring;
take S. S. S. and be able to perform your customary
work without fear OF overtaxing your strength.
Cleanse and enrich your blood with this great purifier
and tonic so that the energized circulation will build
up and strengthen your SYSTEM and permit you to enjoy
all the beauties and pleasures of this the welcome
