A legion Of people have used 8. S. s. and
have overcome the worst forms Of rheuma-
tism.
This disease Of the blood is little under
stood because Of its strange symptoms,
scarcely two people having 1t exactly alike.
And yet, no matter what Its form or how
painful and distressing, 8. s. S. seems to
have almost a divine influence In driving 1t
out, releasing the nerves from pain and
clearing the joints and muscles so they
work without restraint. The best eIplana-
ton for this happy result is the fact that in
s. s. 8. are certain ingredients which act as
en- antidote. They are natures providence
to man.
Just as the meats, fats. salts and sugars
Of our daily food provide us with nourish-
ment, so does 8. S. S. give to the blood the
exact medicinal requirement to clear the
stream, drive out impurities and recon-
struct the body If destructive germs have
gained a foothold. Go to any drug store
today and get a bottle of S. s. S. 1t will do
you good But be sure to refuse any and
all substitutes. And If yours is a stubborn
case write to the Medical Adviser, The
| Swift Specific Co., 100 Swift Bldg, Atlanta,
Ga. This department Is presided over by a
physician proud OF his name by virtue Of his
distinguished family and foremost doctor

FATE: OF 4 PIRATE CREW.
Strange Case of the Nancy Brig and a
Hungry Shark.

In the museum at Kingston. Jamaica,
there are some tattcrcd ships papers,
brown with age and salt water, and q
small tin canister. These articles at
test the truth Of the strangest pirate
story ever told.
In 1899 the crew Of the Nancy briH
were apparently honest traders, but did
some piracy now and then on the side.
One day they found it necessary to go
into Kingston for supplies. Before do
ing SO they naturally removed all
traces Of their buccancering trade.
Among other things they threw over
board this tin canister stuffed with pa
pers taken from ships they had sunk,
with comments written on the margin
by the pirate captain.
Later in the day British frigats
was becalmed near the spot, and the
sailors spent their leisure catching
sharks. Presently they hauled up q
big fellow, cut him open and found the
tin case with the papers inside. These
were taken to the captain. who, as soon
as breeze sprang up. sailed into
Kingston harbor, found the Nancy brig
there and had the crew tried. convict

Finger Nails Show Health.

Our finger nails are made Of horny
mat Cri0l that is in some ways like the
material that makes our skin. But it tS
more like the material that makes our
hair 1t Is after all different from Ell
ther Of these and Is more like horn
than any other part Of our bodies. The
special cells at the base Of the nails
form the material for our nails and
therefore the health Of our finger nails
depends on these cells. If you are not
in good health or If you do not take
good care Of your skin your finger nails
will show that they arc not healthy.
If your blood IS out Of order the cells
that make the finger nails will not do
their work properly and then little
white spots will appear on the nails.
So you see those little white spots are
sign Of bad health. Kansas City

Beautiful Blue Lake

Perhaps the most striking Instance
to be seen in the whole world Of the
wonderful apparent coloring Of bodies
of water is the marvelously beautiful
Blue lake in Switzerland. Encompass

their lower ranges luxuriantly clothed
with verdure down to the edge of the
water and adorned with many fine for
est trees, while their higher activities
are garbCd in mantle Of eternal snow.
the little lake, Nesting in its deep boil

gular and strange beauty. The water,
although really pure and colorless, ap-

WOOD ALCOHOL-POISON!

Despite unceasing endeavor to pro-
hibit the sale of wood alcohol, this
poisonous article is still used in the
manufacture of quack medicines,
hair-tonics, cheap whiskey, essences,
ETC., and every now and then some in
nocent person is killed or made blind
from its effects. Recently three per-
sons died and two others were made
completely blind from drinking cor
dial made partly of wood alcohol. 1t
is not generally known that poison
GUS symptoms follow its external ap-
plication, as we'll as from taking it in
to the stomach. Thus rubbing the
body with it after Turkish or other
baths, burning it in "alcohol" lamps,
using it for vanishing pianos, beer
vats, small rooms, etc., may induce
slow and often unsuspected but SER
ious damage to the digestion, sight,
and nervous system. The manufac-
turers of wood alcohol have succeed
ed in removing the unpleasant odor
and taste, Disgusting it in this way
to facilitate its sale; but its poisonous
properties are still there, and this
"deordorized" alcohol under whatso-
ever name it may be called should not
be purchased for domestic use. 1t
should be the self imposed duty of
every citizen, not only to abstain
from using the poison himself, but to
use his influence in bringing about a
law to stop its manufacture and sale.
All preparations containing this in
gredient should be put in the list of
poisons, and labeled with the skull
and crOss-bones.
