GOOD BLOOD
NATURE'S PROTECTION AGAINST DISEASI
The preservation of health and prevention against disease is almoi
entirely dependent upon pure, healthy blood; every organ, tissue, nerve an
sinew of the body draws on this vital fluid for nourishment and strength
Poisons, humors and germs from various sources often get into the blood
and then this great life-stream becomes a source of infection and disease
Instead of a nourishing, health-sustaining fluid. Heredity is likewise at
Important factor, regulating the quality of the blood. Some persons are bort
with tainted blood from diseased ancestry, and Scrofula in one of its numerous
forms is sure to crop out some time in life. Not only poisons in the blood
! _ sue responsible for disease, but when the circulation is run down and becomes
poor and weak in quality, then we see the effect in a general bad condition
of health, such as weakness, sallow complexions, boils, and various skin
eruptions. All blood troubles require a tonic and blood purifier, and none
other equals S. S. S. It goes down to the
very foundation of the trouble, and removes
every particle of the poison or impurity from
the blood. And not only does 8. S. S.
antidote the poisons, humors and germs, but
it possesses health-giving, tonic properties
which build up and strengthen weak, impov
erished blood, and fortifies the system agains
r cures Rheumatism, Catarrh, Sores and Ulcers
t all other skin diseases and disorders. Bool

WASHINGTON, D. C. Oct 19.—
(Special)—West Virginia has filed
Supremo court an answer to the bill
of complaint filed against It by Vir
ginia, In which the latter seeks
have West Virginia to assume a share
of the debt previous to the forming
of the State of West Virginia. John
G. Carlisle former secretary of
treasury, is of counsel for the defen
dant.
In the suit Is Involved an import
ant question of the relations of two
sovereign states, as well as some
$15,090,000.
In the demurrer the State of West
Virginia denied that the jurisdiction
of the United States Supreme Court
could be extended to the case Insti
tuted by Virginia, because, It was
claimed, the Supreme Court could
not enforce a judgment for money
against one of the sorerign States of
the Union In any way or manner,
was also contended that Virginia had
no suable Interest In the demands for
money made. These and other
grounds upon which the demurrer
was made were answered by the Vir
ginia attorneys, and the court Issued
an order requiring West Virginia
answer the bill of complaint origin
ally filed by Virginia.
Virginia Misused Money.
In her answer West Virginia ad
mits that the money appropriated
and the payment of the annually ac
cruing interest on the debt prior to
1861 and the formation of the sinking
fund for the ultimate redemption of
the debt was derived from taxes Im
posed upon property subject to tax
ation throughout the entire State, but
avers that the large amount thus de
rived, to which the present Stnto of
West Virginia, then a part of Vir
ginia, contributed her full share, was
not kept Intact by Virginia after her
ordinance of secession, but was used
by ber "In the administration of the
so-called State government at Rich
mond and for many other purposes
while she claimed to be a part of the
Confederate States of America and
that part of the sinking fund so ex
pended should be accounted for” to
West Virginia and constitute a credit
to her In the settlement of her equi
table proportion of the debt.
