A Modern Lazarls. Inherited blood diseases are mucl more difficult to cure than those whicl are acquired. One of the most commo: hereditary diseases is Scrofula, whict the medical profession admit is mos obstinate and deepseated, and their ef forts to cure it meet with little success A child afflicted with Scrofula is alway: puny and sickly, and can never grov into healthy manhood until the diseasc is eliminated. Scrofula leads into con sumption nine times out of ten, so tha it is important for this reason that im mediate attention be given to all chil dren who inherit the slightest taint. Mrs. S. S. Mabry, 360 Elm St., Macon. Ga., writes: “My boy, Charlie, inherited a scrofu- lous blood taint, and from infancy wa: covered with terrible sores, his suffering: being such that it was impossible te dress him for three years. CHARLIE MABRY His head and body were a mass of sores, and his nose was swollen te several times its natural size; to add tc his misery he had catarrh, which made him almost deaf, and his eyesight alsc became affected. No treatment was spared that we thought would relieve tim, but he grew worse until his condi- tion was indeed pitiable. A dozen blood remedies were given him by the whole- sale, but they did not the slightest good. I had almost despaired of his ever being cured, when by the advice of a friend we gave him S.S.S. (Swift’s Specific), and at first the inflammation seemed to in- crease, but as this is the way the remedy gets rid of the poison, by forcing it out of the system, we were encouraged and continued the medicine. A decided im- vement was the result, and after he ad taken a dozen bottles, no one who knew of his former dreadful condition would have recognized him. All the eores on his body have healed, his skin is perfectly clear and smooth, and he has been restored to perfect health.” Mr. A. T. Morgan, one of the promi- nent druggists of Macon, and a member | of the board of aldermen of that city, says: ‘Iam familiar with the terrible; condition of little Charlie Mabry, and the cure which S.S.S. effected in his case was remarkable, and proves it to be a wonderful blood remedy.” S.S.S. is the only cure for deepseated biood diseases, such as Scrofula, Rheu- matism, Cancer, Eczema, Catarrh, etc. It is the only blood remedy guaranteed Purely Vegetable and contains no potash, no mercury or other mineral, which means sc much to all who know the disastrous effects of these drugs.

Havana’s Terrible Death Rate, Havana, Nov. 8.—Spanieh official reports prove that 1,778 persons died in Havana during the month of September last and 2,278 during October just passed. What is called here the “healthy season” is ap- proaching, but so enfeebled, so wretched, so hopeless are the ‘“‘con- centrados” who still live that there can be no doubt the death rate smong them will increase—and in Havana the conditions are estimated to be five times better, more favor- able than in the country. ne mii to in Field Trials Club Meeting.

De Soro, Mo., Oct. 26.—The long con- tinued drought is becomi a serious matter in De Soto and vicinity. Many farmers are hauling water for home use and for stock. The Joachin creek and Big river still flow, but are the lowest ever known. Nearly all the smaller streams are dry, excepting oc- ecasional pools. Many springs have ceased to flow. There is no pasturage, all grass being burned to a crisp. Wheat cannot be sown and late corn has been severely damaged.
