All skin troubles should be attacked
from within by giving the blood cir

accomplished with S. S. S.. the best
known and most highly recommended
blood purifier ever discovered. It's
action is very rapid. Its vegetable
nature Is such that it naturally goes
right into the blood. saturates the
entire circulation. bathes the tissues
with an influence that enables the
skin to heal quickly. The action of
S. 9. 8. is that OF an antidote. and
this fact has been demonstrated time
and time again in the most severe
forms of weeping eczema.
It's influence In tho tissues where
tho tiny arteries transfer the red
blood for the worn out blood to the
veins is quite remarkable and goes on
constantly with every tick OF tho
clock-the beat of the heart.
And new skin is thus caused to form
while tho germs of irritating inlu-
ences that cause eczema are scattered
and their harmful nature entirely
suspended

lease tho railroad to private operators

dent might be confronted by a situa-,
ton In which the only available les
sees would DO the Guggenheim inter-
ests or other interests heavily inter-
ested In Alaska" and that in such a
case no ought to DO able to decline to
