T h e world to-day is full of innocent sufferers from th at m ost loathsome disease, Contagious Blood Poison. People know in a general way th a t i t i s a bad disease, bnt if a ll its horrors could be brought before them they would shun it as they do the Leprosy. Not o nly the person who contracts it suffers, but th e awful tain t is transmitted to children, and th e fearful sores and eruptions, weak eyes, Catarrh, and other evidences of poisoned blood show these little innocents are suffering th e awful consequences of some body’s sin . So highly contagious is th is form of blood poison th at one may be contaminated by handling th e clothing or other articles in nse by a person afflicted w ith th is miserable disease. There is danger even in drink­ing from th e tam e vessel or eating out of the same tableware, as many pure and innocent men and women have found to their sorrow. The virus of Contagious Blood Poison is so . _ .powerful and penetrating th at BLOOD POISON IS NO

My husband spent hundreds of dollars to get. me w ell, and all the medicine that the doctors prescribed failed to do me any-good; I resorted to an operation which the physician said was necessary to restore me to health, bnt I suffered more after i t than I did before; I had hemorrhages of the womb th at nothing could seem to stop.

When the gale struck the steamer at 10 o'clock this morning the passengers were panic stricken. The passengers rushed half clothed, weeping, praying, and screaming from their- staterooms in an effort to reach the decks. Every door and window was closely fastened, the hatches battened and orders Issued that no one save the crew be allowed upon the decks, already waist deep In seething water.

According to the report of the pas­sengers, a force of stokers refused to work. Captain Tapelf drew a revolver and. pointing It a t the crowd, ordered them back to work. They obeyed.
