A Profitable Business.
Those who take an agency for a relia-
ble, enterprising house, learn their busi-
ness and stick to it, “get on” in the
world. People who have an idea of en-
gaging in any canvassing business will do
well to write George Stinson & Co., Port-
land, Maine—the great art and general
publishers. They offer the most excep-
tional advantages to those whu are suf-
ficiently enterprising to be willing to
make a push in order to better their con-
dition. It costs nothing to try. Womejj
make successful canvassers, as well as
men. Full particulars will be sent to
those who address the firm; their full ad-
dress is given above.

When a hundred bottles of sarsaparilla
or other pretentious specifics fail to eradi-
cate in born scrofula or contagious blood
poison, remember that B. B. B. (Botanic
Blood Balm) has gained many thousand
victories in as many seemingly incuiable
instances. Send to the Blood Balm Co.,
Atlanta, Ga., for "Book of Wonders,”
and be convinced. It is the only true
BLOOD PURIFIER.
G. W. Messrs. Howell’s X Roads, Ga.,
writes: “I was afflicted for nine years
with sores. All the medicine I could
take did me no good. I then tried B. B.
B., and 8 bottles cured me sound.”
Mrs. S. M. Wilson, Round Mountain,
Texas, writes: “A lady friend of mine
was covered with bumps and pimples on
her face and neck. Sbe took three bot-
tles of B. B. B., and her skin got soft
and smooth, pimples disappeared, and
health improved greatly.”
Jas. L. Bosworth, Atlanta, Ga., writes:
“Some years ago I contracted blood poi-
son. I had no appetite, my digestion
was ruined, rheumatism drew up my
limbs so I could hardly walk, my throat
was cauderized five times. Hot Springs
gave me no benefit, and my life was one
of torture until I gave B. B. B. a trial,
and surprising as it may seem, the use of
five bottles cured me.”
