stolen his fishing tackle. AS fresh fish
are absolutely essential to his welfare
and breakfast, he could see only a
hopeless vista of bacon and coffee on

A happy thought struck him, accord

some small animal traps at the camp"
said he. and 1 concluded to bait one
of them and throw it in the water. in
hopes that some fish would get himself
in trouble therein. The water was shall
low and / could see some small catfish
prowling about, investigating the bait,
darting at it and darting away.
An old grandfather catfish came

bass, roosting under the bank, came out
to give battle to the cat.
The cat was mad anyhow, with the
jaws of the trap on his nose, and his
spikes were stiff as boards. You may
believe it or not. but that bass got
spiked right through the gills and brain,

It is simply great TO use S. s. s. for
the blood and get a fine. new, healthy
skin. no more salt rheum, itching, scales,
eczema, letter nor any other skin af1ic-
tion. What a world Of satisfaction Per
haps You have creased and painted for
years with mere temporary relief
The trouble is in your blood and merely
appears on the surface because the skin
is natural outlet. In time the tiny
nerve threads in the skin lose their en-
ergy, the tissue cells break down and
nature must have help. Now, the skin
is but q network Of tiny blood vessels,
nerves and a modified form OF mucous
membrane in which blood impurities are
prepared for elimination
And it is only by supplying skin tex
ture with new and purified blood that
the constant outpouring of impurities Is
checked.
Get a bottle of s. S. s. today of any
druggist, Use this splendid, purely veg
etable blood cleanser and get rid OF all
skin troubles.
Avoid substitutes. Don't accept them.
