WONDERFUL WOMEN.
With bat tipped over, no e>e tree,
Tis very plain she cannot see.
With hair combed over tbe car* 'tis
clear
That, me, ot course, can hardly hear,
With gown eo tight la causes talk
’Tis plain she can scarcely walk.
And yet she dodges autos, teams.
And gets along tifTite well, il seems.
Man never could survive, poor chap,
Beneath one-half that handicap.

Avoid Danger of
Blood Infection
Get Your Blood Strong to Resist
Daily Perils
A host of people have thanked their
lucky star to have userl S. H. S. for
the blood Instead of thooe dangerous
drugs such as mercury, calomel, arsenic,
etc. It is en easy mailer to get tho
blood poisoned from contact with disease
germs. They lurk In almost everything
we touch or handle and a slight scratch
or skin abrasion is often the gate of
entrance for a vast army of germs. If
the blood is impure. If pimples, bolls,
eczema or other eruptive conditions make
the skin a danger spot use g. 8. S. at
once and fortify the system. Get your
blood strong and full of red rerpusnes
to renew tissue hoalth. Let S. 8. 8. keep
down tendoncy of all germs to multiply
and your skin will soon renew itself.
These facts are explained In a beautiful
book lust issued and will be mailed free
by The Rwift Speclflo Co., 110 Bwlft
Bldg.. Atlanta, Ga.
Get a bottle of g. 8. 9. today of any
druggist but insist that you will have
nothing else.
For more detailed directions write the
Medical Dept., as suggested in circular
around the bottle.
