It matters not from what cause the
blood become# po-.9oned, it it impossi-
ble for the doctors to cfltect ^ cure.
This class of disease has puzzled the
science of medicine for ages, and tbe
same treatment that was employed
centuries ago is now prescribed. Pot-
ash and mercury are the component
Jiarte of every doctor's prescription
or diseases of the blood.
Many of the so-called blood puri-
fiers are based on potash and mercury.
In fact, S. S S. (Swift's Specific is
the only blood remedy that is guar-
anteed purely vegetable, and is the
only one that contains no harmful
ingredients. S. S. S. is the only blood
remedy that cures real blood diseases,
obstinate cases that physicians and
other remedies have failed to cure.
It never fails to cure a blood disease-
no matter how deep-seated the ca->e.
*****
Miss Bemiha Wuitwood.
Mr. H. Kuhn, of Marion, Kansas;
writes:
"About three years ago my grand-
daughter Bectha \Vhltwood, was
thrown from a horse, receiving a
wound of the scalp. Under the treat-
ment of physicians the wound seemed
obstinate, and for several months re-
mained about tba same, until it finally
became very angry looking, and broke
out into a running sore. This soon
spread to other parts of the scalp. «ind
ran down the side of the neck, in-
creasing in severity, and fea* fully
disfiguring Hex.
"After being constantly under a
physician for a year, and her condi-
tion a great deal worse than at first,
we placed her under the care of the
faculty of a well-hnown hospital, but
even the treatment she received there
failed to arrest the terrible sore.
"Reading of the many curcs of
blood troubles effected by S. S. S., we
decided to try it, and it relieved her
promptly. At first this remedy seemed
to increase the discharge, forcing out
the poison; this soon ceased altogether,
and the place began to heal. In a
few months she was entirely cured,
and scarcely a mark now remains
where the disease held full sway/'
S. S. S. is the right remedy for ail
blood diseases, and is the only cure
for Contagious Blood Poison, Scrofula,
Ecaema, Cancer, Rheumatism. Ca-
tarrh, etc., no matter how deep-seated
the case. S. S. S. is guaranteed
Purely Vegetable
and contains not a particle of mer-
cury, potash, or other mineral, which
means so much to all who know the
disastrous effects of these drugs.

The extreme heat compelled a
great may to seek their homes for
relief.
Little Miss (roldie Warden,
sponsor of Hook and Ladder Co.
No. 2, was the recipient of much
attention during the parade.
Ilis excellency Mayor J. M.
Pearson and Hon. Tom Perkins
formed a team of robust and re-
i spedable appearance which grac-
ed t he parade.
The ceremonies of this occasion,
under the auspices of St. John"s

laying, according to Masonic cer-
emony, ever performed in Collin

Quite a delegation from Tenne-
liill Lodge, of Dallas, were pre.—
em and took part in the corner
stone laying exercises. They re-
mained over night and attended
the meeting of St. Join; s lodge.
Every one of the twelve lodges
in the county, as well as represen-
tatives from various othei North
Texas lodge-, were in the line of
inarch. By common assent, this
was the most notable event in
borne in six carriages tastefully
decorated in colors harmonizing
with the costumes of their respec-

was decorated in royal purple and

all the pain
and sickness from
which women
suffer is caused
by weakness or
derangement in
the organs of
menstruation.
Nearly always
when a woman is not well these
organs are affected. But when
they are strong and healthy a
woman is very seldom sick.
Wine
Is nature's provision for the regu-
lation of the menstrual function.
It cures all "female troubles." It
is equally effective for the girl In
her teens, the young wife with do-
mestic and maternal cares, and
the woman approaching the period
known as the " Change of Life."
They all need it They are all
