OLD SORES JSSt
V b y IMPURITIES in the blood
Ts r 1 Sores were due to outside influences, or if the cause was confined
• i -to the diseased flesh around the ulcer, then external treatment and
strict'■ J in ij n ess would cure them. But the trouble is in the blood, which
Slffl h ome unhealthy and diseased, and keeps the sore open by continually
baS i C ,m,,. into it the impurities and poisons with which the circulation is
disehari,
t'tutional trouble; the effect of a long spell of sickness, or because the
C ° nstl 1 refuse of the body, which should pass off through the proper avenues,
natU / '"n left in the system and absorbed into the blood. Again, the cause
k. ; but it does not matter how the poison becomes intrenched
® blood, the fact that the sore will not heal is evidence of a deep underly
jDtne ‘3 a ives, washes, lotions, etc., may cause the place to scab over
I®? calu ' * temporarily, but the blood is not made any
purer by such treatment, and soon the old
inflammation and discharge will return and
the sore be as bad or worse than before.
a S. S. S. goes down to the very bottom of the
■ trouble, cleanses and purifies the blood, and
PURELY VEGETABLE makes a permanent cure. S. S. S. enriches
' and freshens the circulation so that instead of
discliarcingunhealthy matter into the place, it carries rich, tissue-building,
flesh-healing blood to the diseased parts and in every way assists in a natural

THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER, FRIDAY OCTOBER 25, 1907.
WANAMAKER, MERCHANT
PRINCE OE AMERICA.
Career of, Man Who Sets
Pace for Competitors.
John Wanamaker has been known
for many years as “The Merchant
Prince of America.” With a mam
moth emporium in Philadelphia, and
another in New York, each probably
gving employment to 7,000 to 8,000
salesmen and other employes, he
has conducted, with the business as
sistance of Robert C. Ogden, the well
known philanthropist, what is un
doubtedly the largest retail mercan
tile business in the world.
Wanamaker began life in a small
way in Philadelphia, opening with a
few hundred dollars worth of stock,
but with wonderful energy, progres
siveness and determination. The
story is told that the first SIOOO of
profits made by him were invested
in advertising, and that for a long
time every cent that could be spared
went into the newspapers, until fin
ally every daily paper in Philadelphia
carried regularly a full page adver
tisement of his business. After the
war his business grew with rapid
strides, and by the time of the Cen
tennial, in 1876, his store was one
of the show places of the Quaker
City. Gradually he expanded until
he occupied the entire block from
Chestnut to Market and Thirteenth
to Juniper, in front of the city hall.
Here he has been erecting what is
designed to be the finest retail store
on earth, building it in sections so
as not to disturb his business. Prob
ably half of the building is now com
pleted and occupied.
New York Ventures
Some years ago Wanamaker bought
the old Stewart building at Twelfth
and Broadway, in New York,, and
opened a store on the same line as
his Philadelphia business. It was
freely predicted that he was doomed
to failure. Other merchants claimed
that the store was too far down town
and that shoppers would not go that
far. By skillful advertising Wana
maker soon demonstrated the incor
rectness of this, and in a few years
was forced to expand into another
tremendous building, probably as
large as the Stewart building, across
Twelfth street, with subways con
necting them. This gave him the
largest store in New York.
The volume of business done daily
in both cities is enormous. In
Philadelphia he is also the lead
ing spirit in Wanamaker & Brown’s
large clothing establishment, and
is doubtless interested considerably
in other enterprises.
Wanamaker undoubtedly set the
pace in this country. He was the
first to popularize mercantile es
tablishments, by introducing restau
rants, writing rooms, waiting rooms,
barber shops, art galleries, free con
certs and other features that have
been imitated by other large depart
ment stores. In both of his great
stores Wanamaker at certain sea
sons had daily concerts by supreb
bands, and at times artists of re
nown sang to large audiences without
charge to the listeners. 1 All this was
part of the vast scheme of advertis
ing that Wanamaker projected as the
necessary basis of business in the
nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
In Political Life
When Harrisan was
ed it was necessary to raise large
funds to ensure his election. Wana
maker became the intermediary for
this and raised a great Campaign!
fund, giving SIOO,OOO himself. Prob
ably as a reward for this he was
made Postmaster General. In this
position he undoubtedly introduced
better and more business like meth
ods into the postal department, and
but for the interference of politicians
would have put the department on a
thorough business basis. He was a
candidate for United States Senator
from Pennsylvania in two campaigns,
but was defeated by the Quay influen
ces, although he made the boldest at
tacks on the honesty of the machine
leaders, denouncing the rascality from ]
one end of the state to the other. He
became interested in the old North
American, in Philadelphia, the oldest
daily paper in the United States, and
his son is now the main owner of,

AMERICUS BOYS TO
ENTER THE RACE
Four or five popular Americus lads
have entered the contest for the
Shetland ponies offered as a prize by
the Atlanta Journal. Among those
whose names appear already in the
list of contestants are Tom Lane, Jr.,
Frank Hooper, Jr., John Monahan,
Jr., Morgan Stevens, Jr., and John
Frank Thomas—a manly lot of lads,
any of whom might be a winner.
GAINED TWENTY POUNDS,
PLEURISY CURED.
Mr. I. Brown, of 614 Bingham Avenue, Pittsburg, Pa., Who
Suffered from a Severe Case of Pleurisy, Which Left his Lung
in a Weak Condition, Was Completely Cured and Re
stored to Health by the World’s Greatest Medicine.
In a recent interview Mr. Brown said : “ I deem it my duty to state
what Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey has done for me. In the fall of 1905 I con
tracted a severe cold which 1 neglected until it developed into pleurisy in my
right side. I did considerable doctoring for it, and 1 seemed to get all right.
I returned to work, but again immediately contracted another severe cold,
which found me in a weakened condition. 1 tried many different kinds of
medicines, which did not seem to help me ; I was very weak and run down,
and I decided what I needed was a tonic stimulant to build me up, so 1 made
up my mind to try Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey. I am very thankful that I
did, it has put new life in me, it took out the pleurisy and healed my left lung,
which was left in a very weak condition, and I feel as strong and hardy as it
is possible for any man to feel. I have a good appetite and have gained
twenty pounds in weight; and, while lam a temperance advocate and do not
believe in drinking intoxicating beverages, whenever I feel the need of a tonic
and stimulant Ido not hesitate to take Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey. I can
heartily recommend it to any one who is run down and is troubled with colds
or pleurisy.”
Unsolicited testimonials like the above come from thousands of men
and women who have been cured and restored to health by Duffy s Pure
Malt Whiskey.

is an absolutely pure distillation of malted grain; great care being used to
