Terrifying Itching Causes
Continuous Torture

Do you sometimes feel like
you will scream if you do not
get relief from the torment
ing and terrifying itching
and irritating burning that
makes you feel like your very
skin is ablaze?
Possibly your disorder has
not reached the torturing
stage as yet, but there are
thousands of victims of skin
diseases that know too well
the well nigh uncomfortable
pain that comes from erup-
tons, irritations, pimples,
boils, ulcers, eczema, psory-
asis, carbuncles and the nu-
merous other forms of tor
ment that attack the delicate
tissues of the skin.
The only proper method OF
treatment for any disease, is
a remedy that will reach its
source, that will remove its
cause, and not simply palliate
its symptoms. Every form
of skin ailment comes from a
colony of millions upon mil
lions of tiny disease germs
that infest the blood. Natur-
ally, then, these germs must
be eradicated from the blood
before a cure can be ex-
pected.

BEST EQUIPMENT
Our equipment is second TO none.
When we fitted up these offices we
spared neither time nor expense TO
give the people of Seattle the very best.
Every modern appliance that will aid
IN the better performance of painless
dentistry will be found here.
PAINLESS METHODS
We have brought our system of
painless dentistry to such a point of
perfection that we are now able to
guarantee to perform practically any
and all kinds of dental work without
hurting the patient bit.
This is matter of great importance
to you. Many people have put off
having necessary dental work done on
account of being afraid that it would
be very painful TO have the work done
If you are among this number we tell
you now that you need delay on this
account no longer.
FREE EXAMINATION
We invite you to call at our office
and let one of our experts give your
teeth thorough examination. He will
tell you right away just what is needed
TO be done and just what the cost will
be to put your teeth into perfect con-
dition. This examination and estimate
won't cost you cent, neither will it
put you under any obligation to have
work done unless you want it.

IN gun construction.
So accurately IS this huge machine set,
and so perfect IS it's control, that delicate
watch may be placed on It's base, directly IN
the downward path Of the hammer, the
gauge set at the proper place and the fun
blow delivered, but stopped Just in time to
touch the watch crystal without, however,
pressing down upon 1t hard enough to break
It.
Although the maximum blow is estimated
at 5000 tons, the actual force Of the ham
.mer's blow can not be computed IN figures
understandable to any but the most adj
vanced mathematician. The actual force Of
blow depends upon the time 1t Is stopped.
In such huge and delieately set machine
as this great hammer there is no momentum
behind the striking hammer It Is so gagged
that the striking body is driven downward
by an engine Of small horsepower. Its blow
IS delivered when the hammer has fallen a
certain number Of feet, or inches, according
to the requirement Of the engineer manipu-
lating It. When It's full blow is delivered It
stops against the base, or against the OBJ
jeet being tested, or against which the blow
IS directed.
If the hammer were released, however,
after having received its full propelling
force, and thus allowed to gain momentum
as 1t few outward, with It's 5000 tons as
only the initial pressure, its maximum strik-
ing capacity could be estimated only by OBJ
servatiOn of the actual effect of the blow
eventually delivered with 5000 tons initial
force plus the momentum Of its velocity
The best example Of the possibilities OF
energy and force hidden in this great ham
mer is had by using its driving force upon
a nail as an illustration
If the hammer were set, as is possible, so
that It's whole 5000 tons of force were halted
Immediately upon contact with the head OF
a nail standing IN piece of wood, the nail
would not be driven in. Its head would mere
" feel the contact Of the steel of the ham
mer's surface If, however, the hammer
were released when it had received It's full
S,000-ton power, 1t would continue exerting
its force after touching the head Of the nail,
until the nail had been driven as far as an
S,0OO-tOn blow could prOpel It. 1t Is not
possible for the average mind to even
imagine how far an ordinary four-inch nail
might be driven BY a hammer hitting It
with the enormous force of 5000 tons.

rolled into one would have a gripping or
sqeezng" power of 800 tons. With such a
INST man could tear the Brooklyn Bridge
from its mornings or, with single blow, shat
ter the 700-fOOt tower of the Metropolitan
Life Building in New Y Ork. With one great
sweep, gathering momentum as it crashed
along, such a fist, with an 8,OOO-ton force be-
hind 1t, could brush aside the skyserapers Of
a whole American city. Only fortress, or
the Rock Of Gibraltar, could halt the destruct-
i've progress of such fist In full swing.
The most modern dreadnoughts of the
navy could not withstand the blow Of such a
fist, If it could concentrate its pressure upon
one spot along the battleship's side By en-
twining its fingers around a torpedo-bOat de-
stroyer, fully armored, this enormous fist
could crush it completely. Five fully loaded
subway express trains, rushing along abreast
at full speed, could be picked of their tracks
by this giant fist and thrown 100 feet away.
The hammer was constructed in a steel
mill in Pennsylvania given over to war
work. It was shipped in sections to Wash
ington for installation In the ordnance plant.
One entire train of fourteen cars was re-

quired to carry the various parts. The
hammer alone weighs $50 tons, It's
frame and other equipment making a
total weight Of 5000 tons. This en-
tire weight is delivered in one blow.
4 Until this big machine was con
strueted the most powerful hammer IN
existence was 5.0OO-ton hammer In
use IN a Pittsburgh munitiOn plant.
When the Government munitIOn ex-
perts made up their new specifications
It was found they had required tests
I and forging feats Of which even. the
huge Pittsburgh hammer was incapable.
Never before had such stupendOus re-
quirements been made Of a single ma
chine in the manufacture of anything
the industrial world was called upon to
furnish. In times of national danger
the only limit to achievement IS the hu-
man brain. Expense, labor and profit
producing possibilities do not enter
into considerations of wars necessities
Therefore the army engineers set about
the construction Of a forging and test
ing hammer big enough to do the work
necessary IN rushing to completion the
guns and their ammunition needed by
General Pershing.
The big field guns with which the new
rmy must be supplied are not only larger,
ut they must withstand a greater explosive
Orce within than any heretofore made for
he American army. Consequently, every
ubic inch Of steel about one of the great
uns must be stronger and more rigidly test
d than ever before. It is one of the duties
f the big hammer to prove the resisting
ower of every inch of steel that goes into
new army gun.
Blocks of gun steel, especially shaped, are
objected to the driving blows of the great
ammer. By regulating the blows the test
ng engineers can tell to the most minute
computation just how much pres
ure from within its chambers the steel viii
Withstand when, at last, it IS shaped into a
uge, death-dealing field or coast gun
The hammer IS being put to many other
ses which, for obvious reasons, the War
department viii not allow described to any
reat length. One Of these is a new process
f forging steel with cold force. The steel
hus forged is distorted through very small
istanees by means of the immense pressure
rom the hammer and, when shaped, is the
trOngest and most dependable steel yet used
