ducing countries in the world.
The production in South Af
rica has been racing ahead at a
rate which promises to nearly
double the production in 1898,
which was obtained in 1896. The
figures for the latter year were
about $45,000,000, while those
for 1898, at the present rate of
progress for five months, will
exceed $75,000,000.
Australia has also made a
considerable gain, but is not ex
pected to show a production
much larger than $60,000,000,
These countries, with $22,000,-
000 of gold from Russia and
$15,000,000 from Mexico, fill up
the bulk of the gold production
of the world.
The production for the world
is now computed at $240,000,-
000 for 1897 and $275,000,000
for 1898. This affords a supply
of gold for monetary uses after
the deduction of that required
in the arts, equal to nearly dou
ble the available supply of both
gold and silver for monetary
uses only 15 or 20 years ago.

Beware

Mr. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfield, Mo.,
writes: “For six years I have been ■
sufferer from a scrofulous affection of
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
-of physicians in Washington, D. C.,
Springfield, 111., and St. Louis failed td
reduce the enlargement. After six
months’ constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re
moval of the gland. At this critical mo*
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside a deep-rooted preju
dice against all patent medicines, I be
gan its use. Before I had used one bot
tle the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though I am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had I only used your S.S.S. long ago,
I would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $150.”
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and eveu
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root of
the disease an<f forces it out perma
nently.
S.S.S. {guaranteed purely vegetable)
A Real Blood Remedy,
is a blood remedy for real blood troubles;
it cures the most obstinate cases of
Scrofula, Eczema, Cancer, Rheumatism,
etc., which other so-called blood reme
dies fail to touch. S.S.S. gets at the
root of the disease and forces it out per
manently. Valuable books will
