Removing the symptoms is not all that is necessary to cure Con

ward manifestations must be completely driven from the blood before •
real cure can be effected. The least taint left in the circulation wfl]»

DENTISTS.
1. The dentists begin with Dr. Col-
tier, who has lived and practiced hla
profession in Echols county for many
years. Dr. Collier bar had more gre
ats* fnn. and enjoyed It better than
any other man who ever lived In the
county. He once represented the coun
ty ta the legislature. He Is too wen
know* for ms to add ahythlng Inter
. csttng to to short e notice.
t. As a dental student L. A. Car
ter wan the tecond student to tabs
dentistry in Rebols County. Ho will
\ be referred to again ln the list of
physicians,
S. Dixie Roberts waa number
three of the dental etndente. He
•ladled dntlstry and graduated ta
ItM, with a high standing In hi*
lug from the lecture room directly
to Woodvllle Texas, where he has
grown to be very wealthy and one
of the most prominent physlolana ot
all Texas. ■ ■■■■'• 1
Ind. Willie Staten made tho Sec
ond medical student from Hohola.
When he graduated he went to Jas
per, Fla., where he soon built up a
large practice. Dr. State iv like
many other physicians, eoon wreck
ed hie health, which sent him to a
premature grave. Dr. Staten waa an
exceptionally good physician, a man
of sympathy, who sacrificed hla
own life that others might live.
3rd. Medical atndent number
three from Echols was Elbert Smith.
After graduating Dr. Smith located
at Javper, Fla., where he practiced
his profession for several years,
and th-n moved to Waycrnea. !j>t-r,
I am told, he purchased a farm tn
the country, bull! himself a nice
home, turned his attention to in
tensive farming and raising stock,
which he has mads a complete suc
cess of.
4th. Number four of tha medical
students was Ben Morgen, who
graduated In medicine, but later took
law, as already referred to under the
notice ot lawyers.
5th. To this number answers Co
lumbus Carter. Ho attended lecture*
end graduated In medicine tn Ang.
In the esrly 80’s. Dr. Carter located
at whet wae first ceiled Long Pond,
later changed to Lake Park. Hart
work and close attention to bis pro
fession soon bnlit ap s very largo
practice (lor Dr. Carter, the man who
did more" work then two stronger
men, and who did more than he
should have done. Dr. Carter was a
man ot energy end Interpriee. The
beantttnl home ho built, with all its
convenience ahown how tastefully
enterprising he was. He never knew
how to TStnee the sick. The poor,
liko the rich, commanded hit service.
He would day and night, care kss of
his health and phyaielal condition
medical student from Echols county.
After he graduated In medicine he
located near Hamilton P. O. In Ham
ilton county, Florida. Dr. Smith
found It very profitable for the short
time he remained there; he soon left
and went to Waycrose, where he has
boon successful In hla huslnssa af
fairs and ls highly esteemed by his
associates, both personally and pro-
feasslonally.
10. We are now to Jesse P. Pres
cott on tho list of medical men from
Echols, who graduated ln 1890 from
the old Atlanta-school. He was a
very hard student. Jess waa taken
nick' before the final examination waa
completed, and. ~ 1 ' *
before ’’old”
that Jeae

i room
•ago: “Toung
worry about gra&fflRlng, t wfil too
that you get your diploids." ■ This
was Indeed a relief to a sfcfk boy In
such a trying time. Several other
students about that time would have
been, willing for most any kind of a
sick spell. Dr. Prescott first located
noar Brunswick for a time, but later
he came back fo Lako Park, where
he has been successful in business
and ln his profession.
11. Tho eleventh student—John
F. Hall—Is the writer, graduated In
medicine In the class of 1899 from
the Old Atlanta Medical Collegi; re
turned home to fall In bed sick with
a case of typhoid t.ver. Whenj able
to work I located In Hamilton Coun
ty, Florida, noar Hamilton P. O. I
remained In that location for four
years, when I located at Lake dark,
remaining there six years whin I
married the prettiest waxen hatred
girl In all the state.
Later, I yielded to long-felt dfalre
to once more claim a home It

Georgia. My success profession ly

Forrest Johnson Is the

Douglas, In Coffee county, and from

mlleB of Valdosta, not so now. Echo's
only needs an up-to-date literary
school with a good system of public
schools to make her one of the host
counties In- Georgia. The people here
are amply able to have them. Let
some one get a start on this question,
the rest will follow. I know these
people, and I know they would gladly
respond to such hn important mat
ter. I am the first student that car
ried a literary diploma to Echols

It has its
almost before they realize its
presence, because its first
symptom is usually a little
sore or pimple so insignificant
that it does not excite sus
picion. But the insidious
poison is at work on the blood
and in a short while the pa
tient finds he is more or less
affected from head to foot
Contagious Blood Poison
is too dangerous to trifle with.
No time should be lost in rid
ding the blood of this destruc
tive poison, and in no disease
is it more important to have
the proper remedy. Medi
cines which merely check the
symptoms for a time and leave
the real cause smouldering in
the system have brought mis
ery and disappointment to
thousands. Faithfully the suf
ferers took such treatment,
usually of mineral nature, and
when all symptoms had dis
appeared and the treatment
was left off, found the virus
had only been shut up in the
System awaiting a favorable symptoms not aecewuy to mention. A frieedtoiii '
opportunity to return, with —
every symptom intensified.
S. S. S. cures Contagious
Blood Poison and cures it
permanently. It goes down
into the blood and removes
every particle of the poison,
makes the circulation pure
and healthy, and does not 3 —
leave the slightest trace of the disease for future-outbreaks. S. S. S_
is made entirely of roots, herbs and barks, all of which are heal
ing and cleansing in their nature. It does not contain a particle.-
of mineral in any form to injure the delicate parts of the system.
S. S. S. will also drive out any lingering remains of mineral poison*
that may be in the blood from the former treatment. If you are suf
fering with Contagious Blood Poison S. S. S. will cure you, because it
will purihr your blood. Home treatment book and any medical advice-
