The canned goods on sale consisted Of
string beans. corn. beans and tomatoes.
All sold for ten cents a can with the
exception of the tomatoes. which readily
sold at twelve cents per can. With the

100000 LOSS
Prompt Action of East Chi
cago Firemen Prevent a
Million Dollar Fire.

Two hundred thousand dollars damase
is what the officials OF the Grasselli
Chemical Company consider a oonserva-
tive estimate Of the fire Monday. Only
prompt action on the part or the East
Chicago FIRE department prevented what
might have been a million dollar loss.
The system which was destroyed. al
though not the largest system of the
company. was by no means small sys-
tenn The building which housed the
sytem was about two hunrded feet
square aid seventy-fve feet high Il
stood in close proximity e storage
tanks. the closest Of which contained At
the time in the neighborhood OF 1000
900 pounds Of sulphuric acid. If this
tank had been destroyed the loss would
have been many times what il was.
Investi cations show that the IRE start
ed from an acetylene torch in the hands
Of a welder who was attempting to
repair a leak in a pipe. In some man
ner TIC flame was drawn into fan and
blown into the building In only a FEW
minutes the fire was raging and the

giaes.

Time Makes No Mistakes.

We have never claimed that
5. 5. S. was medicine to work
wonders. nor one that would cure
every physical ailment or disorder.
More than fifty years ago it was
placed on the market and recon-
mended as blood purifier, and
today, after a long and successful
career, and when its use has be-
come almost universal, only the
same honest claim is made for it
that it will relieve those diseases
and disorders arising from an i'm
poverished condition of the blood.
Time makes no mistakes, and the
very best recommendation of S. 5.
S. is the fact that it has stood a
long test and is now more general
ly used than ever before, and has
the confidence, we believe, OF a
greater number of people than any
other blood medicine.
The blood is the most vital force
Oh lie, every organ, nerve, muscle,
tissue and sinew of the body is de-
pendent on it for nourishment and
strength, and as it circulates
through the system, pure and rich,
it furnishes these different mem
bers the healthful properties need
ed to preserve them and enable
them to perform their various
duties. So long as the blood re-
mains free from infection we are
apt to escape disease, but any i'm
purity. humor or poison acts in
juriously on the system and af-
fects the general health.
Postular eruptions. pimples.
rashes, and the various skin affec-
tons, show that the blood is in a
feverish condition. as result of
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1919-09-10
OLDEST AND BEST
BLOOD PURIFIER

some humor. or the presence of an
irritating, fiery acid. rheumatism,
Catarrh, Sores and Ulcers, Scofula
and similar blood disorders will
continue to grow worse as long as
the cause remains. A disordered
condition of the blood may come
from various causes, such as
sluggish condition of the system,
imperfect bowel and kidney action,
Indigestion, ETC.; but whatever the
cause the blood must be purified
before the body can be healthy.
S. S. s. is natural blood puri-
fier and tonic. 1t is made entirely
of the harmless juices and extracts
of roots, herbs and barks of recog-
nized medicinal value. and being
free from all harmful minerals is
an absolutely safe medicine for
young or old. S. S. S. goes into
the circulation. 1t fIeshens and
enriches the blood and will do for
you what it has done for thousands
OF others. >. >. >. IS the most re-
liable and at the same time most
pleasant acting medicine for those
whose blood has become impover-
ished and needs building up.
A course of S. S. S. will prove to
you its great efficacy, as it has in
numerous other cases which have
been reported to US by grateful pa
tients.
Do not continue to suffer because
of wrong treatment, but go to your
drug store and commence taking
S. S. S. today.
Also write fully to our head
physician. who will give you full
instructions about your own case.
