From Tennessee
The Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga.:
Gentlemen: Fire years ago I was
so unfortunate as to contract an ex
tremely bad case of blood poison.
My bones ached and mucles began
to swell and contract. I was under
treatment of the physician from the
inception of the disease until I found
that he could do me no good. Then
through the advice of a friend I be
gan taking S. S. S. Your medicine
seemed to have an immediate effect.
I commenced to improve at once,
and in a very short time all evidence
of the disease had disappeared. I
took six bottles, and to-day am sound
and well. That was two or three
years ago, but I have seen no evi
dence of the return of the disease,
and I take this opportunity to thank
you for what it has done for me. It
saved my life. You can refer any
one to me.

Blockade In Wlient.
Minneapolis, Oct. 11. There has
been a wheat blockade in this citv
since Monday. There are 1,750 cars
on the track here waiting to find a
place to be unloaded. The block
ade is troublesome, and the Manito
ba and Milwaukee road are said to
be holding back cars in the country,
oadeel with wheat to keep them out
of a snarl here. The 1.750 cars
blockaded represent 8,875,000 bush
els of wheat, with more back of "it
to be rushed in here as fast as room
cau be made. Now that wheat has
declined it is expected that farmers
will begin to sell more f reel v. Re-
ceips of wheat at terminal stations
in the northwest are as large as
this year ago for the same time.

Bis Shi)iniit .f Mexican Coin
EI Paso, Tex., Oct. 10 Large
amounts of newly coined Mexican
sOrer dollars are constantly passing
through El Paso on their way to San
Francisco, for the Chinese trade.
The Wells-Forgo Express company
handles most of it. Shipments of
$150,000 and 250,000.000 are quite
frequent. The various mints in Mex
ico are kept constantly busy coining
these silver dollars. Miniu has re
cently received a wonderful impetus
throughout the republic, and the au-
ii :i- .
monues are anxious to convert as
much of the bullion produced by the
mines into coin as possible.

Helena, Mont. Oct. 10. While

That dainty lady tripping by,
Hew light her step, hew bright her aye.
How fresh her cheeks with healthful glow
Lisa roses in Maytime blow!
And yet a few week Iihto pasaec' away
Scince she was fading, day by day.
The doctors skill could naught avail;
Weaker she grew, and thin and j.ale.
At last, while in a homeless frame,

I've ofti'n seen a remedy
Perhaps 'twill help; I cau bat try."
And io, according to direction,
She took Pierce's Favorite Prescription,
And every baleful symptom fled.

What Am I to Do?
The symi toms of billiousness are un
happilv but too well known. They diff
er in different individuals to some extent.
A billious man is seldom a breakfast eat
er. Too frequently, alas, he has an ex
cellent appetite tor liquors but none tor
solids of a morning. His tonue will
hardly bear inspection at any time; if
it is not white and furred, it is rough, at
all events.
The digressive system is wholly out of
order and diarrhea or Constipation may
be a symptom or the two may alternate.
There are often Hemorrhoids oi even
loss of blood. There may be giddiness
and often headache and acidity or flatu
lence and tenderness in the nit nt tUp
stomach. To correct all this if not es
tect a enre try Green'-. August Flower,
it cost but a trifle and thousands attest
its efficacy. 4t-iyr. e o w.
