Poison Oak.
The following extract, taken from
a letter written by Mr. E. A. Bell,
fully explains itself:
While surveying land in '83 I acci
dently handled poison oak vine, and
in less than three hours (the erup
tion usually resulting from such con
tact begins in ten days my face was
swollen and disfigured, and m
hands and arms seriously affected.
I immediately began taking Swift's
Specific (S. S. S.), and after taking
three large bottles I found all signs
of the breaking out entirely remov
ed. I was led to suspect its return
at the same time next year, but il
did not, nor has there been any in
dications of its return since.
My little boy, eight years old, was
afflicted with the same poison in '81.
After taking several bottles of (S. S.
S.) Swift's Specific the eruptions en
tirely disappeared. A very slight
form of the same eruption returned
during the next spring, but we then
i churned the 8. S. S., and having
taken enough during that season to
make the cure permanent, he has
not since had any retura of the dis
ease. Swift's Specific (S. S.S.) cer
tainly effected thorough cures in both
these cases, and I regard it as a most
effective remedy for all such diseases.

AN ANCIENT MAN Of STRENGTH.
Tfc l'afaNl raU Nrfenaeil bj m Gee
M In I be I mM Centarj.
Tle firat teatn manajrrr of IV rlin,
Joluinn Karl von KckenocT?. a lh
no called "man of tr?ngth, bo
siiowed himself iiJtriy 2Xi rears ajn.
Crt aJi jug-jjkr. then as athlete. Of
his lif little is known except as in his
carver as theatre m&nagtr, as le was
the founder of the nnt fJerlin theatre.
He was extcniTtly wnUu of, and an
article under the title of "An Athlete
of the Eighteenth Century," published
some Tears ago and recently uu
eartheu, give an interesting account
of his prowww, as follows:
liy an athlete of the Eighteenth cen
tury we do vjA mean the Prince Fred
erick August of Baxour, king of Pv
laiul, cornnaonly called August the
Strong, who coukl knock otf the head
of an ox with one stroke of his sword
aud besides dLtinguihed LiiuM.-lf in
all kinds of resr,ectable perCormauces
of strength, but another Hercules who
would have wrapped the strong Auguht
around his little tingr, if hucIi a thing
would have been permitted, lliismau
was the athlete Julian n Karl von Eck
enberg, who in the twenties and thir
ties of the last century showed his
productions of strength in public. He
was the mott stately of all gymna.sU
and was born in the town of Harzge
rode, aird out of it-snect to his native
town he called himself for a time, on
his bill posters, Sampson Hercules
Harzmarnn.
It borders on the fabulous what his
contemporaries related of his remark
able exhibitions of strength. He broke
an anchor rope as if it were ordinary
tii read, iron nails and bolts he turned
playfully between his fingers into
screws, a cannon pije he carried
around as if it were u bubv. His teeth
were as strong as iron, lie bit into a
Iiieco of oak wood ; then a strong cart
lorse was harnessed up to it. In spite
of the horso beintr urged on it was un
able to pull tho stick out of the juggler's
mouth or to pull the athlete from the
place where ne stood. A bench made
oQAvood, sixteen feet long, he grasped
witli his teeth by one end and carried
it around, while a trumpeter blowing
his instrument sat on the other end.
His arm was more powerful than
his teeth. Ho spread out his hands,
on each ono was placed a bottle of
wine, then a rope was attached to each
wrist and to each rope thero were
three men from the audience who
pulled with all their might, so as to
mako it impossible for this Hercules
to convey the wine to his mouth. All
their zeal was without avail, as the
arms of the gymnast bent themselves
irresistibly and brought the jug to his
mouth without spilling a drop of
wine.
He generally saved his grandest per
formance of strength until the close
of the exhibition, lie ascended a scaf
fold of beams under which. was a plat
form of thick planks fastened on
strong chains. A trumpeter mounted
on a horse, clad as a herald, rode upon
the platform and played his tunc. The
Hercules then took a place on the
point of the scaffolding, held a glass
of wine in ono hand and with the
other, by means of the chains, lifted
tho heavy platform, tho horse and the
trumpeter high up from the floor, and
for a little while held the whole
weight, the trumpeter shrillv blowing
a tune, while tho athlete tlrank the
glass of wine, at the same time giving
a toast to tho magistrate and the citi
zens of tho city in which he happened
to be btaying.
When Herr von Eckenberg became
older, his power gradually left him;
therefore he gave up the herculean
business and became chief theatre
manager of Berlin, where he for some
time possessed two show booths, which,
liowever, did not bring him as large
an income as did his exhibition of
strength. But when he had this large
income he did not know how to save.
He had a competitor, Peter Hilferdiug,
who had a show booth with privileges
and at tle same time was a practical
ioker and clewn under the name of
Pantalon de Bisoguosi. Provoking
quarrels with this man embittered the
lift, of the "man of strength." His
numerous creditors seized both his
booths with all belongings, completely
impoverishing the celebrated Hercules,
who died in the year 175-4. From the
German.

Wlien all the other men have liad

and to tho point, the silent man alone

for refutation or confirmation of wind

(Mrr wisdom to maintain, and hence
le keeps his mouth shut. And every
1 . 1 ? l 1 -t A -
man aooui uim uiiuks: uat asux'r
ior man he is.
However, as was rei narked before,
there is generally a day when ho is
found out. To illustrate: Several years
afro a ycinjr man went to the irenend
otlicc of one of our Icadiuff railroad
companies in town. He was the bearer
of strong letters of recommendation
from an old friend of the manager iu
a small rural town. The letters re
ferret! especially heavy to the discre
tion "unusual for his years" of the
young man, on Ins marvelous camc
ity for keejwng his mouth shuL fhc
manaeer, who hat! been on tho look
out for just such a young niau, at once
gave him a berth m his private ollice.
He prospered amazingly, for all that
was required of him was to exercise
his natural talent keeping his mouth
shut The manager swore, by him.
Other men iu tho ollice caught tho in-
fectiou. Every clerk came to look
upon Mr. Tytelipps let us call him
Tytelipps for short as a phenomenon,
as a nioucl young man. Everybody
marveled how this country bred youii"
mau nau acquireu so mucn wisuom.
Thus Mr. Tytelipjw rose, step bv step,
and his salary with him. One day he
ble position, commanding an almost
princely remuneration.
For a little while it was all right.
He continued to keep his mouth shut.
But there was a turn in the tide. At
a directors' meeting some information
and suggestions bearing on the better
working of the department whose
head Mr. Tytelipps had shortly be
come, was called for. Mr. Tyteliws' as
sistant, a man who had grown gray in
the service of the company and who
knew all the ins and outs of the de
partment to a T (but who had the mis
fortune to once in awhile talk too
much), was sick at home. So Tvte-
lipps himself had to respond. And
when the questions had been fired at
him and the board was waiting to be
enlightened, Tytelipps shook his head
sagely, coughed and hemmed and
hawed. That "didn't go." He had to
do some talking.' Then the directors
unanimously came to the conclusion
that Tytelipps was a monumental ass
and ought to be bounced. And he
was bounced not long after. At least
he was reduced to the ranks. But he
couldn't stand this long, ne went,
aud when last heard from he was ped
dling matches or apples or something.

Forty years ago the leader of flie
New York bar was George Wood,
whose grave dejortinent and habit oi

him an owlish appearance.
Otie day a gentleman called on Dan

saken politics and resumed the prac

case involving a large sum of money.
Mr. Webster, in accepting the re
tainer, asked what counsel was to op

"These boots should not only be com
fortable and easy to your feet," con
tinued Mr. Trollope, "but they should
be well made. Another very import
ant thing to recollect is not to walk in
darned socks. I started for Great St
Bernard and walked into Montiquy.
Mrtfeet were so torn afterward that 1
corfld not put on a boot for ten days.
And all from those darned socks !"

Ancient History.
Abracax was another of those old
fashioned gods who would look funny
in this day. The Persians bad an idea
that be was the supreme being No. 1,
but the Greeks who used to job lot the
gods, marked him down to No. 365.
Under either system he got into the
400. He was very good, and had Chi
most complete collection of virtues in
the universe. The precise date of hit
death is not known, bat the presump

Inherited Blood Poison.
How many people there are whose dis
tress from sores, aches, pains and erup
tive tendencies are due to inherited blood
poison. Bad blood passes from parent
to child, and it therefore is the duty of
husband and wife to keep their blood
pure. This is easily accomplished by a
timely use of B. B. B (Botanic Blood
Balm). Send to Blood Balm Co., At
lanta, for book of most convincing proof.
James Hill, Atlanla,Ga., writes: "My
two sons were afflicted with blood poi
son, which doctors said was hereditary.
They both broke out in sores and erup
tions which B. B. B. promptly control
led and finally cured completely."
Mrs. 8. M. Williams, Sandy, Texas,
writes: "My three poor afflicted child
ren, who inherited blood poison, have
improved rapidly after a use of B. B. B.
It is a Godsend."
J. R. Wilson, Glen Alpine Station, N.
C, Feb. 13, 1885, writes: "Bone and
blood poison forced me te have my leg
amputated, and on the stump there came
a hirge ulcer, which grew worse every
day until doctors gave me op to die. I
only weighed 120 pounds when I began
to take B. B. B., and 12 hot Jes increas
ed my weight to ISO pounds and made
me sound and well. I never knew what
good health was before."
