Leander DeLong Dies. Leander Delong died at his home in this city Sunday evening at about 4:00 o'clock, being eighty years of age. He has been in very feeble health for the past several years and din ing the last few months was confined to his bed. He was one of tiie prosperous farmers of the county and came to this city when h(. retired from his fine farm in Van Buren township about four years ago. His farm was one of the most at tractive and best kept places in the county and was always commented on by those who would pass that way. He has always been an active and in dustrious man and had accumulated considerable property during the years of bis activity. He leaves a wife and BEST TREMMDENT FORCATARRH S. S. S. is the best treatment for Catarrh because it is a perfect blood pturifier. It is tlie only medicine that is able to get down into the circula tion and entirely remove the catarrhal matter and impurities which produce ttte trouble. As long as the mucous membranes and tissues are kept inflamed and irritated by this impure and infected condition of the blood Catarrh will rejfnain. Its disagreeable and dangerous symptoms, of ringing noises in the ears, mucus dropping back into the throat, headaches, watery eyes, difficult breathing, and even stomach disorders and weakened health, cannot be perma hently relieved'ttntil the blood is purified. Nothing equals S. S. S. for this purpose. It goes down to the very root of the trouble, and removes every particle of the catarrhal matter from the blood and enriches this vital fluid so that all the mucous surfaces are supplied with nutritive, healthful qualities, in stead of being constantly irritated and inflamed by impurities in the circula tion. Then the symptoms begin to pass away and when S. S. S. has entirely purified the blood, Catarrh is permanently cured and the general health greatly built up.
