THE BEST BLOOD PURIFIER.
Tbe blood is constantly being purified
by tbe lungs, liver aiid Li Joeys. Keep
these organs in a healthy cooditiuD and
the bowels regular sod you will have no
need of a blood purifier. Fur this pur
pose there is nothing equal to Chamber
lain's Stomach and Liver Tablets, one
do.se of them will do you m ro goi d
than a dollar bottle of the best blood
purifier. Price, 25 oents. Samples free
at W. M. Cohens drug store.
EDUCATE YOUR CHILDREN.
Erery person should be interested in
the education nf his or hr child. The
time is now at haod when witb our sys
tem of schools in No'th Carolioa every
child has an opportunity to gain knowl
edge. The time is approaching when a
bov or a girl uneduoated will be denied
the benefits of society sod wi'l Iip ur a
bla to tarn a livelihood If b ys or t'U1."
expect to enter into any of th-prl-s-sions,
into society or expect to succeed in
any of the avocations of li'e they njur
he educated.
To fit one's self for any of the pr 's
sions, one oiu-t be eduC4t"d io those
'ranches that bear upoo thai panicul.r
profession.
If one wishes to shine as an ornament
in society there must be that culture, re
Socmen! and learning that can ony
come from being th irouhly educated.
It makes on difference what may be
your ambition fur yout child, if it is only
to be a pUin citii-n, yet if yuu educate
that child he will be belter enabled tu
cope with tbe world and can be more suc
cessful in any business he undertakes.
There is one reaoo that more strongly
appeals to the parent now, why the boy
should be educated, than heretofore.
After 1908 the boy who is 21 years of
sge and who cannot read and write the
constitution of his native State will not
be allowed to vote He cannot enjoy tbe
same privileges of citizenship as did bis
father. And if there were no other in
centive than this it would seem that every
boy should be taught a rudimentary edu
cation at least.
Send your children to school. You
will be held responsible by the Great
Creator, Himself, if you allow your child
to grow up in ignorance, witb to many
educational advantages around jou.

I bequeath to ray children Scrofula with all its
attendant horrors, humiliation and suffering. This is a
strange legacy to leave to posterity ; a heavy burden to
place upon the shoulders of the young.
This treacherous disease dwarfs the body and hinders
the growth and development of the faculties, and the
child born of blood poison, or scrofula-tainted parentage,
is poorly equipped lor life's duties. .
Scrofula is a disease with numerous and varied
symptoms; enlarged glands or tumors about the neck
and armpits, catarrh of the head, weak eyes and dreadful
skin eruptions upon different parts of the body show the
presence of tubercular or scrofulous matter in the blood. This dangerous
and stealthy disease entrenches itself securely in the 6vslem and attacks
the bones and tissues, destroys the red corpusc'.ef of the blood, resulting in I
wmte swelling, a pallid, waxy appearance ot tne skin, loss ol strength, and
a gradual wasting away of the body.
t. b. fa. combines both purifying and tonic properties, and is guaran
teed entirely vegetable, making it the ideal remedy in
all scrofulous affections. It purifies the deteriorated
blood, makes it rich and strong and a complete and
permanent cure is soon effected. S. S. S. improves
the digestion and assimilation of food, restores the
lost properties to the blood and quickens the circulation, bringing a healthy
color to the skin and vigor to the weak and emaciated body.
Write us about your case and our physicians will cheerfully advise and
help you in every possible way to regain yonr health. Book on blood and
Skin diseases free. THK SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., Atlanta,, Ga.
