The most loathsome and repulsive
living things is the .serpent, and the vi
most degrading of all human diseases is Contagious Blood Poison. The
serpent sinks its fangs into the flesh and almost instantly the poison passes
through the entire body. Contagious Blood Poison, beginning with a little
ulcer, soon contaminates every drop of blood and spreads throughout the
whole system. Painful swellings appear in the groins, a red rash and
copper colored splotches break out on the body, the mouth and throat
become ulcerated, and the hair and eye brows fall out ; but these symptoms
are mild compared to the wretchedness and suffering that come in the latter
stages of the disease when it attacks the bones and more vital parts of the
body. It is then that Contagious Blood Poison is seen in all its hideous
ness. The deep eating abscesses and sickening ulcers and tumors show
the whole system is corrupted and poisoned, and unless relief comes soon
this serpent disease tightens its coils and crushes out the life. The only
antidote for the awful virus is S. S. S. It is nature's remedy, com
posed entirely of vegetable ingredients. S. S. S.
destroys every vestige of the poison, purifies the
blood and removes all danger of transmitting the
awful taint to others. Nothing else will do this.
Strong mineral remedies, like mercury and potash.

Three Jobs That Hold to a Fellow.
The average American citizen dear
ly loves an office and therefore the
wonder that one resigns after hav
ing realized his ambition. Holding
office, working ona newspaper and
running on a railroa d are three things
that men will do when they might
do better and it is always a matter
of surprise when a man quits any of
the three except when he is obliged
to. Charlotte Observer.
It is Time.
North Carolina is a great State. Il
has in it a great people. The old def
inition of North Carolina as "a nar
row strip of land lying between the
greater States of Virginia and South
Carolina" no longer applies. North
Carolina has produced more great
men since the war than any other
Southern State. She has sent them
all over the country. We thank God
for North Carolina. Long live North
Carolina! We like her people If they
do brag a little. We admire her Gov
ernor, lie's the greatest public man
in the South today. We admire her
educators, her authors and her edi
tors. We like to hear them speak.
We like to read what they write
even if we do have to read proof for
them occasionally. Spartanburg

TONIC
A REAL CURE FOR
It has recently been discovered that
the germs that produce Malaria, breed
and multiply in the intestines and from
there spread throughout the system
by means of the blood. This fact ex
plains why Malaria is hard to cure by
the old method of treatment. Quinine,
Iron, etc., stimulate the nerves and
build up the blood, but do not destroy
the germs that cause the disease.
Rydale's Tonic has a specific effect
upon the intestines and bowels, freeing
them Irom all disease breeding mi
crobes. It also kills the germs that
infest the veins and arteries. It drives
from the blood all poisonous mattei
and makes it rich and healthy.
RYDALE'S TONIC is a blood
builder, a nerve restorer, and a Malaria
destroyer. Try it, it will not disap
point you.
