When the blood is pure and healthy the skin will be soft, smooth and
free from eruptions, but when the blood becomes infected with some un
healthy humor the effect is shown by rashes, eruptions, boils and pimples,
or other disfiguring and annoying skin disease. The skin is provided with
countless pores and glands which act as a drainage system to rid the body
of impurities through the perspiration that is constantly passing through
these little tubes. There are other glands that pour out on the skin an oily
substance to keep it soft and pliable. When the blood becomes filled with
humors and acids these are thrown off through the pores and glands,
burning and irritating the skin and drying up the natural oils so that we defence against a case charging murder,

troubles with salves, washes, lotions, etc. is not along the right line. True,
such treatment relieves somcof the itching and discomfort and aids in keep

are humors in the blood, and it cau therefore have no real curative effect on
these skin affections. S. S. S., a gentle acting and perfect blood purifier, is
the best and quickest treatment. It goes down into the blood and removes

helped Garfield to get the nomination,
for himself, in the deadlock, although
neither he nor 'anybody else at the
opening of the convention had thought
of him as a possibility. When Bryan
made his "cross of gold” speech which
stampeded the Chicago convention in
1896 he was not ostensibly, talking for
himself nor did anybody in the con
vention think of him in connection
with the candidacy at the time he
got up there to speak. Ke entered
that convention as a member of a con
testing delegation, and was unknown
to the country at the time, though he
had the Presidential bee in his bon

Rear Admiral Brownson. When he

on the Pacific station, he had a brush
with a gang of pirates that was quite
as exciting and sensational as any
chapter in yellow fiction. The Mohegan
was cruising near JTatatlan. Mexico,
when the citizens of that port appeal ?d
to Captain Lowe, her commander, for
protection against a freebooter, who
was killing innocent citizens, looting
unprotected towns and committing
depredations ail along the coast.
Lowe promised to look after th n(-
rates and soon located them son
where in an almost inaccessible clus
ter of lagoons. When Captain Lowe
discovered the snug harbor of the pi
rates he detailed -Midshipman Brawn-
son, with a boat’s crew, to hunt them
down. When Brownson reached their
refuge the pirate schooner appeared to
be deserted. She looked as if sho had
been abandoned, but the moment the
Yankee soldiers clambered over the
side of the vessel they were attacked
by a volley from the limbs of the trees
and other dense vegetation around
them. The pirates, finding that they
were pursued, had arranged an am
bush, and climbed the trees, where
they could command the deck of their
schooner. »
Realizing that he could not capture
the culorlts under such a disadvantage.
Brownson conceived a plan that was
equally effective and much safer. He
ordered his men below decks to escape
the galling fire that was rouring
upon them, and in a few moments
started a dozen or more fires in the
hold »f the vessel. As soon as they
were ablaze he gathered up his dead
end wounded, hurried them into his
boat and got away from the scene os
rapidly as possible. Before he was out
of hearing the vessel was a mass of
flames and the pirates were marooned
in the swamp without ammunition or
mod. All thefr sunplies and the htoty
they hod brought away from their loot
ing expeditions were consumed with
the ship, find the local authorities wrp
able to capture or kill all of them. The
people of Meaat'nn expressed their
gratitude by presenting Brownson with-
a s’lver service bearing an appropriate
Inscription.
