mous do la DraHcu cat*?, which came
up in court here today for trial.
For many years the case has been

relatives of the woman to establish
claims to a part of tho fortune

family. Tho royal house of Den
mark Ih Involved through the fact
that Queen Louise was a Swedish
princess before her marriage.
Many persons are of the opinion
that the dolma of Miss do la Brascn
were not without foundation. Cer
tain It Ih that sho enjoyed a state
subvention for many years, was ad
mitted to tho highest circles or so
ciety in Stockholm, where sho was
usually referred to as “princess
and was frequently seen in tho com
pany of royalties.
For tho most pnrt, however, her
life was shrouded In deep mystery.
As n child sho wns educated abroad
with funds provided from nn un
known Rourco. When sho came of
age sho returned to Sweden and con
tinued to live In a state of luxury.
A few years before her death, how
ever, her allowance ceased, and she
died In apparent poverty.

BLOOD TROUBLES
CONSTITUTIONAL INFECTION
Constitutional Blood Poison is the
most insidious of all diseases. II
begins in an insignificant manner,
usually the appearance of a tiny sore
being the only outward evidence of its
presence. But down in the blood tli«
treacherous infection is at work, and
in a short time its chain of symptoms
begin to crop out. The mouth and
throat ulcerate, skin eruptions break
out, sores nnd ulcers appear on the
Ixxly, the glands in the groin swell,
and sometimes the hair comes out.
Mineral medicines cannot cure Con
stitutional Blood Poison; they only
shut the disease up in the system to
smouldcrand await r.n opportunity of
breaking out afresh. The only pos
sible way to cure the disease is to
REMOVE the germs from the blood.
S. S. S. goes into the blood, and while
removing the infection makes the
blood pure, fresh and healthy. This
causes a general
upbuilding of the
entire system,
and when S. S. S.
has made a cure
there is no return
of the hideous
symptoms.
S. S. S. is made
entirely of vege
table matter, containing not the least
particle of mineral in any form. It i
a perfectly safe medicine and a certain
cure for blood poison. We have a
Home treatment book which we will
be glad to scud free to all who write
and request it, also any medical
advice without charge.
