CRUSHES OUT #%
THE LlFE^PiO
Tlie most loathsome and repulsive of all ^^^?9^_W ?^i. _f
Hving things js the serpent, and the vilest and .^ssa**^ -~-^9f_f0r
most degrading of all human diseases is Contagious Blood Poison. The
serpent sinks its fangs into the flesh and almost instantly the poison passes
through the entire body, Contagious Blood Poison, beginning with a little
ulcer, soon contarainai.es every drop of blood and spreads throughout the
whole system, Painful swellings appear in the groin., a red rash and
copper colored splotches break out on the body, the mouth aud throat
become ulcerated, and the hair and eye brows fail out j but these syinptoms
are inild compared to the wretchedness and suffering that come in the latter
stages of the disease when it attacks the bones and more vital parts of the
body, It is then that Contagious Blood Poison is seen in all its hldeous
ness, The deep eating abscesses and sickening ulcers and tumors show
the whole system is corrupted and poisoned, and unless relief comes soon
this serpent disease tightens its coila and crushes out the life. The only
antidote for the awful virus is 3, S, S, It is naturo'm romody, com
posed entirely of vegetable jngredients, S, S. S,
destroys every vestige of the poison, pnrifies the
blood and removes all danger of transmitting the
awful taint to others, Nothing else will do this.
Strong mineral remedies, Uke mercury and potash,
dry up the sores aud drivein thp disease, but donotcurq permauentiy.

COUNCIL IS
TOO LARGE
Committee Named to Take Up
Questlon of Smaller Body
AND TO PAY THE MEMBERS
Probnble Thnt a Report May Be Made
in Favor of Both Proposltlons.
The Jolnt Committoo
Chosen.
Presldents WlHlam M. Turpln and Sol
I_. Bloomberg, of the Board ot Aldermon
and Common Councll, rospectivoly, yos?
terday mornlng returned to Clty Clerk
B. T. August the name aof those members
who have been solooted to servo on a
Jolnt commltteo whlch, undor resolution,
Is to Investlgato tho advlsablllty of de
creasing the roprcoontatlon of the varl?
ous ward8 ln tho Council and the fea
ulbllity of a plan to pay membera for
thelr Bervlccs.
From the Common Councll there wlll be
Mesars. Garbor (who wlll be chalrman),
Fergusson, Heslep, Hlcks and Ellett.
From tho Board, Messrs. Whittet, Wood,
Hall and Donahoo. Mr. Garbor haa been
mado the chalrman becauso he la tho
"father" of the rosolutlon, and lt la now
up to hlm to say when and where the
commltteo shall- meot.
MAY MEET SOON.
As yet tho chalrman Is undecldcd as to
when he wlll.have a moetlng of tho body,
but an effort wlll bo mado to get to?
gether and formulate a .oport before
tho next rogular meotlng of the Coun?
oll, although thla seoms Improbable, as
tho questlon ls one that wlll requlre
long and caroful oonslderatlon beforo any
declslve actlon ls taken.
Slnce tho resolution was offerod in tho
Common Councll and adopted, thore has
been much Bpeculation as to tho .outcome
of tho investigation. Thore aro those who
predlct that it wlll bo recomrnended that
tho roprcsentatlon of each ward ln both
branches bo materlally decreased.
It haa boen argued that tho CoUncIl
as it ls at present constltutod has too
many mombors for the good of tho clty,
needed leglslatlon bolng,unnecossarlly de
layed by falluro of aufflclont members
to attend meetings to constltuto a legal
quorum.
In addltion, lt ls held that even after
the body ls in session, much tlme Is lost
and delay occaslonod by tho dobato and
frequent lnterrujitlons, lt belng noxt to
Imposslblo to have every mombor thor?
oughly understand a proposltlon.
A DARG-'E BODY.
At present the Councll 13 composed of
?flfty-slx members?flve councllmen and
threo aldermon from each ward. Thls ls
said to ovorshadow any slmllar body ln
the country. whero tho city Ib no larger
than Richmond.
Two councllmen and one alderman, lt is
claimed, would be an lmprovement over
the present system, and would facllltato
materlally tho accompllshlng of import?
ant business.
Frequently members of both branches
In prlvato conversatlon have stated that
there wero too many men In tho body.
Thus, It would seem that tho proposltlon
? to decrease-tho number wlll meet wlth
approval. ? ?
Tho schome to pay the councllmen a
small sallary as a compensatlon for the
dutles performed by them wlll probably
bo recomrnended and may be adopted.

It is said by somo that thls purchaso
was by partles who contemplated a com?
piete reorganizatlon of tho company and
that ln all probablllty some of those ln

of tho most important constltuent flrms
