Bottled Up! It certainly is disheartening to a pa tient to find that the treatment he is given for a disease is more disastrous than the disease itself. Such is the case, however, with the usual treat ment given for diseases of the blood. Notwithstanding the great progress made in many branches of medicine, the doctors have failed absolutely to find a successful treatment for blood poison, and the many diseases having their origin in the blood. They give but one kind of medicine, they know but one treatment, and whether in the form of powder, pill or liquid, the doctor’s prescription is always the same—potash or mercury. Too much cannot be said of the harm ful and disastrouseffectsof these drugs. The doctors are unable to rid the sys tem of the poison, and direct their efforts toward covering up the symp toms from view. There is but one ef fect to be obtained from potash and mercury—they bottle up the poison and dry it up in the system, but it must be remembered that they dry up the marrow in the bones at the same time, gradually consuming the vital ity. Those disfiguring copper-colored splotches are but indications of worse results to follow. No sooner has the system taken on the full effects of this powerful drug than that suppleness and elasticity of the joints gives way to a stiffness, followed by the racking pains of rheumatism. The form grad- JjgEßCuqy/ iIWM Will i -Mil ually bends, the bones ache, while de crepitude and helplessness prema turely take possession of the body. Under this treatment, it is but a short step from vigqr and health to a pair of crutches. With this wreck of the system often comes falling of the hair and eyebrows, loss of finger nails, and decay of the bones —a condition most horrible. This is no overdrawn picture, for the world to-day is full of these hobbling mercurial wrecks. Contagious Blood Poison is the most horrible of all diseases, and has been appropriately called the curse of man kind. Until the discovery of S. S. S., it was incurable. It has always baf fled the doctors, and it is in this dis ease that the evils of mercury and potash are most common, because these drugs are given in such large doses in an effort to counteract the poison. While they succeed in bottling up the poison in the system, it always breaks forth again, attacking some delicate organ, frequently the mouth and throat, filling them with eating sores. S. S. S. is the only known cure for this terrible disease. It is the same in other diseases of the blood. Scrofula, Eczema, Cancer, Rheumatism, all are given the same treatment by the physicians —mercury and potash, and the result as above set forth is always the same. We offer a remedy purely vegetable, powerful in its effect, yet harmless in every way. For fifty years S. S. S. has fpeen curing blood diseases, from the most violent to the mildest case, after all other treatment failed. It is guaranteed purely vegetable, and one thousand dollars reward is offered for proof to the contrary. It is a real blood remedy for real blood troubles, and never fails to cure Contagious Blood Poison, Scrofula, Eczema, Rheu matism, Cancer, or any other disease of the blood. If you have a blood dis ease, take a remedy which will not injure you. Beware of mercury ; don’t do violence to your system. Don’t get bottled up! Our books on blood and skin dis eases, will be mailed free to any ad dress. Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga. Presence of Mind. A young woman in a Western State, who lives near a railroad cross ing, looking out of the window the other day, saw a laborer jump from one track to the other to escape an approaching train. He was appa rently dazed by terror and stood still, not seeing that an express train was rushing down upon him. The girl saw that before she could make him understand his danger it would be too late. She therefore threw up her arms shrieking wildly, “Help ! help ! help!” trusting to the impulse which sends a man on the instant to a wo man in distress. “I’m coining !” shouted the old Irishman, just spring ing toward her in time to escape the engine as it rushed past. He stared back at it and then at the woman crying and laughing in the window, ,and taking off his hat with shaking hands, said, “I owe you something miss,” and walked away. His inten tions were probably as friendly as hers, but the wit was slower. Another example of presence of mind was that of a woman who, be ing left alone in the house one night heard a noise in the dining room, and knew that burglars were remov ing the plate. She was too far from any other house to summon assis tance. Seizing a large paper bag which lay on a table, she inflated it and broke it on the wall of the stairs with a loud report. The thieves, mistaking it for a pistol, dropped their plunder and fled. .YliwN " nrurr of Chicago. A Chicago woman is famous for her assertiveness. She is not only able to take care of herself, but usu ally take a hand in whatever is going on about her. A Miss W,rner of Chicago did this in quite a notable way a few days ago. As she was walking on one of the bus’iness streets she saw a drayman beating his horse unmercifully. The animal seemed to be half starved, and because he did not move rapidly with an enormous load his brutal master lashed him at every step. Miss Warner appealed to several men to interfere, but they refused to do so. No policeman was in sight, and finally Miss Warner’s patience gave way. She rushed upon the 1 cruel driver and before he realized what her intentions were she seized the whip with which he was beating > his feeble horse and gave him a taste i of his own medicine. The fellow leaped from his wagon, but the irate woman kept up with him and gave him a lashing which he will never forget. After cutting him severely half a dozen times she finished by breaking the whip over his head. A big crowd gathered on the scene and Miss Warner was loudly cheered as she finished her righteous work. A policeman w’ho had been attracted by the disturbance asked her name, but did not arrest her. It seemed to be the opinion of the citizens and the officer present that the plucky wo man had asserted the higher law and that she deserved thanks rather than punishment—an opinion with which we heartily agree. From Dahlonega Signal. We have had Andrew Stephens em ployed in this office as pressman for quite awhile. He seemed to do this so well, we gave him a case, as he just knew he could set type.

Athens, Ga., December 18.—Clarke county furnishes the swiftest trial ever conducted in a court of justice in Georgia. This morning at 11 o’clock a mes sage came over the telephone from Jefferson asking Chief Culp to arrest a negro named John Dyer on the charge of stealing a pistol. A good description of the negro was given and in less than fifteen minutes Offi cers Hill and Saye had nabbed him. He tried to shoot them but was un successful. In a few minutes a message came to turn him loose, as his brother had settled for the pistol. The Athens officers didn’t relish the idea of turn ing loose a negro who had tried to shoot and upon whose person two pistols had been found. So they swore out a warrant charging him with carrying concealed weapons. Judge Cobb immediately gave him a trial and he entered a plea of guilty. The court sentenced him to pay a fine of $25 and costs or serve six months on the chain gang. When the court concluded the sentence it was ten minutes to 1 o’clock. One hour and fifty minutes had passed since the description of the negro was telephoned from Jef ferson to Athens. 1 From tr.S.JourHal o/ Prof. W. H. Peeke, who Ig makes a specialty of x B B B.

A SOUTH WIND fx a Scourge to Northern Climen in Winter. Select ten men at random north of the 35th meridian, and eight of them will be found, on examination, to have chronic catarrh of the nose, head, throat, bronchial tubes or kid neys. Os the women, at least seven will be found to have chronic ca tarrh ; about half of whom will have catarrh of the head, throat or lungs, and the other half of the stomach or pelvic organs. The exposure of men to the out-door climate makes them more liable to catarrh of the breath ing passages and kidneys than wo men. On the other hand, women are more liable to catarrh of the ali mentary canal and pelvic organs. It is astonishing what a large multitude of people have this disease. It is the exception rather than the rule, and the exceptions are becoming more and more rare to find any one perfectly free from catarrh. It is coming to be the general be lief that local applications, which in clude snuffs, sprays, creams, inhala tions, medicated steam, etc., can not cure catarrh. At best they only re lieve. A permanent cure can only be secured by a course of internal medication with some catarrh spe cific, notably Pe-ru na. The remedy Pe-ru-na takes preference of all oth-, ers as a radical cure for catarrh. Its cures remain, and are certain to oc cur. A FREE MEDICAL BOOK. A 64-page book on catarrhal dis eases which has lately been written by Dr. Hartman will be sent free to all who desire it by The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing Company, Co lumbus, Ohio. The book is instruc tively illustrated and should be in every home during the winter. PRICES GOING UP. A Maryland town wanted to hear Mr. Bryan lecture. A letter was written to his manager. The reply came : “We must have 75 per cent, of the gross receipts, with a guarantee that our share will not be less than $3,000.” That was for one lecture. The claim does not hold good that prices cannot advance under the gold standard. The price of Mr. Bryan’s services on a newspaper two years ago, so it has been stated, was $1,500 a year ; now the price of his services is $3,000 a night for less than two hours’ work. And gold is still the standard. | Save | < i a y* n o i Doctors’| | Bills | «D D D BOTANIC | JD.D.D.

A good crowd was present at the opera house last night to witness the wonderful powers of little Fannie Hester, the thirteen-year-old daughter of Mr. Bob Hester, of Greene county. She can truly lay claim to being the successor of Lula Hurst in the line of electrical wonders. The exhibition last night was a marvelous display of an unseen and inexplicable power. The slender little girl lifted chairs in which men weighing two hundred pounds sat by merely putting her hands to the chair backs. Strong men couldn’t press a chair to the floor when she had hold of it, nor could they push her light body from a position when she pushed against them. They puffed and tugged, but she exhibited no evidence of making any exertion.—Athens Banner. Condensed Testimony. Chas. B.

She not only affects male attire, but carries a gun as •well, and when she chooses to assert her equality with the creatures of the other sex, t here are few who feel in clined to dispute the point. Last week she conceived the alto gether origin al idea of breaking up a dance. Her efforts were a triumph. Only a few s hots were fired before the young woman reigned as the belle of the ball. The dance wis given at the house of a well known itian named Palmer. The festivities were at their height. There was nothing to mar the enjoy ment of the occasion. The gather ing was select and. the affair was progressing beautifully, when sud denly the young woman made her appearance. She was attired in mas culine garb, though the disguise could not hide the true sex of the in truder. The dancers were too star tled to enter any protest when the woman endeavored to participate in the waltz with the other young ladies present. Her offers, however, were scornfully rejected, and then one man rose to the needs of the occasion and asked her to retire. The effort to eject her so exasperated the young woman that she drew a pistol and opened fire. She shot at a man named McLendon, but missed him. In the fusilade that followed Alf Shell was wounded in the side. When the smoke cleared away the room presented the appearance of a hold-up. ' The woman held undis puted possession of the floor and the other dancers fled in dismay from the scene of confusion. The girl who held up the dance is well known in the neighborhood. She is proprietress of a blind tiger establishment and is supposed to have come to the dance for the pur pose of disposing of some of her wet goods.

From an early date, probably 1,000 years before Christ, the swan pan, or abacus, was in use in China for performing arithmetical computations. The Chinese also use their fingers for the same purpose, every joint of each finger having a different arithmetical value. Arithmetic was brought into Greece from Egypt by Thales 300 years B. C. One of the oldest known treatises upon arithmetic is by Euclid, in the third century before Christ The first arithmetic, printed in Eng land was in 1522, by Tonstall, bishop of Durham. Until the American revolution, most of the arithmetics used in the colonies were brought from England. One of the earliest American arithmetics was a work called ‘Arithmetic—‘Vulgar and Decimal,’ published at Boston in 1724.” Forty-one bushels of apples were gathered this year from a century old tree, which is known to have ; borne fruit for eighty-six years, in the orchard of R. 11.
