CQC THE CURE FOR
W.tJ.O. SCROFULA
The usual symptoms of Scrofula are enlarged glands of tha neck,
•ores and ulcers on the body, skin affections, catarrhal troubles, weak
eyes, and general poor health. The inherited poison, transmitted through
the blood, pollutes and weakens this fluid, and in place of Its nutritive
qualities fills the circulation with scrofulous matter, which saps the vitality
of the entire system. Thousands of children, bom with a scrofulous taint,
have spent their childhood in constant phvsical suffering, and grown to
manhood or womanhood handicapped by ill health and stunted growth,
and perhaps later some disease of the bones or Joints developed. S. S. 8.,
given in their early life, would have prevented this. It would have
cleansed and purified the blood of the taint, nourished and stengthened
their systems, and assisted each to grow into strong, healthful manhood
or womanhood. 8. 8. 8. is the very best remedy for Scrofula. It goes
down to the bottom of the trouble, and cleanses the circulation of all
scrofulous matter. It supplies the weak, diseased blood with strength
and health-building qualities, and under the purifying effects of this great
remedy all symptoms of Scrofula pass awav, S. 8. 8. contains no mineral*
in any form, uud is an abeoluteTTfute treatment for children, even infants
or persons of any age. Literature about Scrofula and anv medical advice

THE AUGUSTA HERALD AND AU
GUSTA HOUSEWIVES.
That the Augusta Herald is diligent
ly read by Augusta housewives is
proven by the extraordinary success
of the soap campaign being conducP
ed by the Globe Soap Company of
Cincinnati, Ohio, exclusively in this
publication. These wonderful new
laundry soaps that clean clothes with
out injuring them, wash the most deli
cate fabric without harming it in the
least and the new, big cake of white
floating soap are rapidly superseding
the ordinary soaps containing nap
tha, caustic soda and potash, in the
affections of Augusta women.
Elsewhere in this issue appears an
other of the interesting advertise
ments of the company, with full par
ticulars and free coupon offer. It is
worth the while of every housewife to
read it.

FRIDAY, JUNE 23.
♦ PEOPLE’S FORUM ♦
REGARDING ANNEXATION.
To the Editor of The Herald.
Sir: I note with much interest the
contemplated annexation of the Vil
lage of Summerville, but was very
much disappointed at the turn of af
fairs as published In your issue of
the 20th inst.
It is indeed unfortunate that the
good people of Summerville should
pull against the interests of the dear
old town, for if it were not for Au
gusta there would be no Summerville.
The very people who arc opposed
to this movement—or the majority of
them —have made every penny they
have in Augusta and when the time
arrives that they could do the City of
Augusta a good turn, and at the same
time improve their own condition as
to fire protection, police, etc., they
throw the "old town down."
It would be impossible to even rwi
mate the good this annexation wcYld
do the City of Augusta with the out
side world. She would be listed as
a city of from 60,000 to 65,000 ant.
would attract attention everywhere,
but it seems that the “dear people”
of Summerville would rather see ev
ery other town in Georgia and the
South with a large gain in population,
and Augusta back in the same old
39,342 column.
The people of Summerville are very
patriotic when it comes to talking,
and even in the time of "flood” when
they offer their sister city their water
works, but It occurs to the writer that
they* lose 6ight of their own interest
as well as the City of Augusta in op
posing annexation.
The writer is a former Augustan,
and his heart is still with her and
he sincerely hopes that this matter
will be reconsidered and that Augusta
may yet be placed in the percentage
column where she b « s pLUMB .
