Seven events were down for decision, and fourteen bookmakers were scarcely adequate to handle the money in the ring. Favorites were able to capture but two purses. 8 To Dr. Boyle, winner of the mile handi- cap, belonged all the honors of the day.

It did not last long, but it happened on two occaslons. When it was over there were tears in the eyes of one John McClosky, manager, for be- fore him stood his nine charges, battered, beaten and vanquished, while on the score boards the sign read: San Francisco 2. Helena 15. It was all that could be desired in the way of creditable ball up to the sixth round. Then and there the bomb explod- ed with such force that the home team was sent into oblivion and out of the run- | " | ning entirely. In that sm seven of | the enemy touched the rubber and as many more did the trick in the mnext round, while the home team was loft in dreams of shutouts and glory. It all happened so quickly that the fans hardly knew just what the cause of it all was. Up to that period old Chief Borchers was twirling in great form and he seemed to have the other side beaten to a pulp. Then the strain of pitching three games in a single week began to tell an the veteran of many battles and he collapsed. The visitors began to around the lot in a hezrtl runs were pouring over the plate in the meantime. The chief's followers did not give him the support he deserved and when one run came in the players began to get rattled and allowed all those who wished to do so cross the plate. When the fatal agony was over at last the chief betook himself to the bench, there to think and meditate of days gone by. In his place on the slab there ap- peared young Jensen, late of Butte, who left behind to warm up with the | home team. His left-handed offerings were about as easy as those tossed up by the chief and before he finished twirl- ing the seventh round seven mere went to swell the grand total of the visitors' run column, and more groans escaped the lips of -McClosky. > meantime lanky Thompson, for Helena team, pitched like a wizard and held the home team high in the air. They could not solve his mysterious of- ferings, and therefore eight hits and a pair of runs were all that came through. Thomp: support was of the stone wall variety and the fielders only committed one break in flelding etiquette behind him. This afternoen Jesse Stovall, who has spent much of 'his time lately in learning things about the courts, will do the toss- ing for the home team, now that he is free from the toils of the law once again. slout the ball manner and Purcell probably will twirl for Helena.

It isthe greatest foe to human life and happiness, and the most loathsome and hateful of all forms of Blood Poison. The virus of this awful disease spreads quickly‘through the system and contaminates every drop of blood and affects every bone, %% 1) muscle and tissue of the body. This monster scourge begins with a tiny little ulcer or sore, sometimes so small that the natural eye is deceived, but this little sign of infection is soon followed by swellings in the groin, a red rash or eruption upon the skin, the mouth and throat become sore and the hair and eyebrows fall out, and if the progress of the disease is not checked now, it passes on to another and even worse stage, when copper-colored splotches and foul and offensive ulcers break out upon different parts of the bedy, and not even the muscles and bones escape the ravages of the destructive poison, which penetrates deeper and deeper, and gradually tightens its coils and crushes out the life. | Contagious Blood Poison brings suffering and pain to the innocent as well as the 4uilty, for it is often communicated to others through handling the clothing of one infected, using the same toilet articles, drinking out of the same vessel, shaking hands, and in vari- ous other wdys. But this merciless disease does mnot stop at adult age, for it is transmit- ted to children, and is responsible for the fearful increase of Serofula, Catarrh, ill develop- ment, sickening sores and stubborn, deep-seated skin troubles, so common among children; and these patient, helpless little sufferers must share the humiliating penalty of somebody’s sin. If people only knew the horrors of blood poison they would shun it as they do Lep- rosy, and fear it as they do deadly Cancer and would never rest till every atom of the poison was forever destroyed and the disease completely stamped out. You can’t do this with Mercury and Potash, for, while they drive in the eruption and sores and all external si of the disease, it is still raging within the body, and only by increasing the dose and saturating the system with these drugs can it be held in check. And thus the battle between Contagious Blood Poison and Mercury and Potash goes on till the Stomach rebels and will no longer retain the medicine, the bones become affected, and Mercurial Rheumatism, chronic indigestion and other troubles develop. Until the discovery of S.S. S, the great vegetable blood purifier and tonic, no cure was known for Bl Poison. Like Leprosy it would run its course and was as surely fatal as Cancer. S. S. S. is an antidote for the destructive virus and peculiar poison that causes this horrible disease, and has been known for nearly fifty years as a safe and reliable cure for this contagion. So thoroughly does S. S. 8. cleanse the blood and sys- tem that all danger of transmitting the disease to others " is removed, and no taint or sign of blood poison is ever found among the- children or grand children of those once cured by S. S. S. . If there are any ulcers, sores or pains in the bomes, stiffness of muscles, rashes or pimples upon the body, you may be sure that the fires of contagion are still alive and the virus still at work in the blood and system, and only by crushing out the life of this serpent disease can you hope for release from its coils. . 8.8.8. is a specific for Contagious Blood Poison and a cure for this serpent’s sting- Wnte _for our book on the disease, which tells of the different stages and symptoms, with directions for home treatment.
