enabling the blood to quickly infuse new
life into the tissues, to stop decay, to
prevent the formation OF those accumu-
lations of broken down cells that rapidly
multiply into the form Of carbuncles and
other eruptions.
Science cannot explain just why certain
elements in the blood feed the bones,
Others nourish the hair roots, and so on.
And 1t is this same mysterious action Of
s. S. S. that attacks all diseased spots,
drives away all germs. heals all sores and
snpplants the activity of disease germs
with the powerful healing action of leu
cocytes. Remarkable testimonials have
been written that prove beyond question
there is no blood disease but what can
be cured by S. S. S. And in all those
cases that were treated with mercury,
fodides, arsenic. copper and other min
erals with no permanent effect, the most
astonishing recoveries have been made
by s. s. S.
There is not a blood faint of any nature
this most wonderful remedy, for It Is
absolutely pure and contains only those
elements that the blood naturally assim-
Hates, and which the tissues gratefully
accept. 1t agrees with the most delicate
stomach. even in those cases where the
use OF strong drugs has so weakened
the digestive system that medicine can
not be given Get a 800 bottle Of
S. s. s. at any drug store and thus be
assured Of complete cure OF any erup.
tive blood disease. II your case Is peculiar

Washington, May 24.-Awaiting
the arrival of a crisis in the eondi-
tion Of the nikado, reported in di-
1lomatie circles here as seriously IL
no further steps will be taken in
the negotiations concerning the CAL
ifornia alien land law.
This fact was established today
when it was learned that the con-
ference between Secretary Bryan and
Ambassador Chinda for next week
had been indefinitely postponed.
Both President Wilson and Secre-
tary Bryan watched the course of
the emperor's illness carefully to-
day and requested the japanese en-
bassy to keep them informed of all
developments.
Indicative of the easing of the
pressure in the japanese situation
today Is the fact that 1t was not
touched upon in general discussion
at the cabinet meeting and that not
single new angle in it has develop
ed In the past AZ hours.
President Wilson today received
the following reply to his telegram
Of sympathy dispatched last night:

message inquiring after my indispo-
sition. express my sincere thanksil
to yourself, the government and tn
