SIP* MDSTHESYSTEM
OF MALARIA
Malaria is an atmospheric poison which we unconsciously breathe into
our system. The blood in its constant passage through the lungs absorbs the
germs, and they destroy the rich, red corpuscles of this vital fluid and reduce
it to such a weak, watery condition that it is unable to properly nourish the
system, and disease gets a foothold. Then the symptoms of Malaria, such
as pale, sallow complexions, weak vitality, poor appetite, deranged digestion,
and perhaps chills and fever show that the trouble is affecting every part ol
the body. Malaria also affects the liver, producing a chronic state of bilious
ness, and often a long spell of fever follows when the blood becomes fully
contaminated with the poison. Chronic Sores and Ulcers, boils, aches and
pains, and skin affections of various kinds often result from this insidious
disease if the poison is allowed to accumulate in the blood in sufficient quan
tities. Malaria must be removed from the system through the circulation,
and for this purpose nothing equals S. S. S. This great remedy goes down
into the blood and drives out all germs, microbes and poisons, and perma
nently cures Malaria, S. S. S. not only cleanses the blood of the cause, but
furnishes it with the healthful properties -t needs, so that instead of a weak,
germ-infected stream, spreading disease throughout the system, it becomes
a rich, red fluid, nourishing the body and enabling it to resist disease.
S. S. S. is also the greatest of all tonics, and builds up and invigorates the
entire system while ridding the blood of the germs of Malaria. Persons who
are suffering from Malaria will be pleased with the prompt and pleasant re
sults produced bj’ the use of S. S. S., and can take it with confidence because
it is an absolutely safe medicine, being free from harmful minerals of any
kind. Book o-» the blood and any medical advice desired sent free to all

Diamond Investments.
Diamonds have enhanced in value, as nearly eyery on« knows, more than
double in the ast eight or ten years. The opinion of those who are in a posi
tion to know, is that under natural conditions the maximum price is far from
being attained. Added to the natural conditions, such as thejmines getting
deeper, etc. It is reported that the Deßoers people have obtained control of
Premier Mines, which were the only ones offering even slight competition. It
is therefore very evident that in the near future you will see prices much in
flated over those at present, Tennison says in his “In Memora",’' “Delay
ing long, delay no more.” Take the hint and write us nbontluur patial

you is the cost to us i>lus a very moderate profit.

TOOK OUT MILLION INSURANCE
Kansas Lawyer Became An Expert On
Poisons And Then Died In a Pecu
liar Manner Precedent Said
To Have Been Set By
Judge.
TOPEKA, KAN., Sept. 24.—(Spec
ial)—When Judge Smith McPherson,
of the southern district of lowa, sit
ting in the United States Circuit
Court for Kansas, issued an order
the body of Lucius H. Perkins be ex
humed and a pathological and chem
ical analysis made, he established a
precedent absolutely unique in judic
ial annals.
He announced that his court had
the authority to have this body ex
humed, that an insurance company
could obtain evidence that the holder
of a policy committed suicide.
Lucius H. Perkins was one of the
best known Kansas lawyers. He xvas
a cultured gentleman. In fact, he
prided himself on his culture, and he
had said that at his death he would
much prefer to he known as a man of
culture than as a man of wealth.
He had a large law practice until
recent years, when he dabbled in
mining schemes and land invest
ments, and did not have the time to
devote to his law work.
Two years ago lie began building a
home. He drew' his own plans and had
it built exactly to suit himself. It
cost about $50.000,, and it is situated
in one of the most beautiful spots in
Lawrence and close to the Kansas
University grounds.
When the building was almost fin
ished, it was partially burned. The
fire was thought to have been of in
cendiary origin, but this was never
proved. He collected more thansß,ooo
insurance and removed all the burned
section, replaced it and continued the
work.
Applied For Insurance.
It was finished late last spring. On
the evening of June 1 Mr. Perkins
went up on the roof of the house, os
tensibly to see about some repairs
which he thought necessary,, as spar
rows were building nests under the
tile roofing. While inspecting the
roof he lost his balance and fell to
the ground about forty feet.
He had been standing near the
eves, just to the right of the tower in
the center of the house.
He struck on his feet on the soft
earth. When picked up he was un
conscious, and four hours later was
dead. The attending physician said
that no bones were broken and that
he died from concussion of the brain,
it was asserted that the jar from the
fall bad caused a concussion at the
base of the spine, which was commu
nicated to the brain.
About .two years ago Mr. Perkins
began making inquries about life in
surance. He asked all of the large
companies to make examinations and
then to write sample policies, each
company submitting all the different
policies which were written by it.
In all, Mr. Perkins applied for life in
surance amounting to $1,300,000.
Some of the companies refused to
submit samples to hint and let him
take his choice or refuse the policies
altogether. Some of the companies
did do this, and about $750,000 in in
surance was written on his life.
Afterwards some of the insurance
was canceled by the companies, but
there was in force at the time of his
death $031,000 in life insurance.
Posted Up on Poisons.
Early last winter Mr. Perkins was
ask- d to speak at the annual meeting |
of the Kansas Bar Association. He j
accepted, and selected as his subject j
some of the famous insurance cases
in which the policy holders had com- j
mitted suicide or was thought to have 1
attempted it.
It is said by his friends that he de
termined to make a most exhaustive
address on this subject, and to do this
he wrote many letters to chemists at !
Ann Harbor, Mich., asking them j
about different poisons, the effect of
each on the body, how the poisons
were to he detected and other infor
mation along these lines.
He got this information and used it.
It was said that Mr. Perkins was the
best posted layman on poisons in the
West.
When some of the insurance com
panies heard of this they cancelled
the policies which had been written.
Sente did not hear of it until after his
death. One company asked for the
return of the policies to correct an
error, and then sent Mr. Perkins a
letter informing him that the po! .js
were cancelled, and he could take any
action he pleased.
All of the insurance xvas written
within a year before his death. Not
one cent in cash did he pay for the
first premiums, but gave his person
al notes. These notes were coming
due about July 1. The total amount
in the notes was in excess of $30,000.
