The wonderful cure related below 1s
by no means unusual with Hood’s Sar-
saparilla. This great medicine has
given health to suffering children,
even whenhealth seemed impossible.
: The secret of its success is thatit puri-
fies, vitalizes and enriches the blood.
. “I wish to tell of a wonderful cure
effected by Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Five
:years ago my little boy was sudden-
_ ly seized with a severe lameness, appar-
' ently in his right knee, which some phy-
sicians said was rheumatism, while others
said it was hip disease and that it was
lncurabe
lDuring the next winter and spring he-
}.became rapidly worse. We took Jimmie
' to a specialist, who said it was hip disease.
At this time the affliction became so
severe that we could not move him with-
'out causing screams of agony. He be-
came reduced in weight to 30 pounds, and
was but a shadow of his former self. We
had about given up hope when we read of
a cure by Hood’s Sarsaparilla of a similar
case. We resolved to try this medicine.
Jimmie was 'decidedly . improved after
taking the first bottle. He was even
Better
after the second. We have since used
over a dozen bottles of the medicine, and
the change has exceeded our expectations.
'James is now able to walk without the
. aid of crutches and goes to school every
day. He has been wonderfully cured
by Hood’s Sarsaparilla.” J. O. RUNDELL,
Oakley, Michigan.
Druggist C. C. Tubbs says he knows the

by Hood’s Sarsaparilla and that Mr. Run-
dell is thoroughly reliable. He has a good
sale of Hood’s Sarsaparilla and Hood’s
Pills, both of which are giving 'perfect
satisfaction. He says Hood’s Pills seem
to be the coming family cathartic.

FIVE BLACKMARKS.
“The most miserable time I ever had
in my life,” said Dr. ,Macpherson one
day as he sat chatting in his cozy
drawing room, “was spent- inagun-
boat off the coast of Guinea-1 ~I-began
my professional life as a surgeon in the
navy, you know.”
I did not know. But as the doctor
seemed intent on telling the story I did
not interrupt him by saying'so. "
“We had been cruising about in the
Mediterranean,” he went on, “when we
where unexpectedly ordered to the
Bay of Lagos to overawe some miser-
able little tribe near the coast which
had not been behaving itself as a
properly regulated little tribe under
the pretection of the British empire
Kakoga’s tribe it was
called, and Kakoga came in for a good
share of honest abuse from the
officers and men of the Dragon-fly,
when our orders came. The worst of
it was, as far as the officers and men
were concerned, that we were not at
unity among ourselves. The engineer,
called Lashton, had been disappointed
in love, and was naturally morose in
consequence. What made him more
so was the fact that his successful
rival was the sub-lieutenant, an
awfully nice fellow, and the only man
on board that I cared for. Lieut.
Gilby had met Miss Callan at Malta,
and had become engaged to her with-
out the least idea that the engineer
had intentions that way, not that it
would have made any difference to
him if he had, I suppose. Lashton’s
uneoncealed enmity against him made
life on board pretty unpleasant, and
divided us into two cliques. The lieu-
tenant’s clique, consisting of himself
and me, certainly had the liveliest
time'of it, for the successful suitor of*
Miss Callan was the merriest fellow on
earth, and while we were in the Med-
iterranean we suffered very little from
the engineer’s hostility. But directly
we steamed off for Lagos a most re-
markable change came over my friend,
and he turned as taciturn as Lashton
himself. _
"It puzzled me to discover the rea-
son, for though we were all sorry to
leave the Mediterranean still it was
not like Gilby to sulk over it. He
could not see less of his fiancee than
he had been doing for two or three
months, and we had the prospect be-
fore us of a small fight, for which he
had been wishing. Lashton suggested
to me in his sinister way that it was
the prospect of fighting which caused
the change in my friend, and though I
answered the suggestion in the tone it
deserved, still it seemed the only ex-
planation. .
“Gilby said, when I asked him, that
it was the weather, and the irritation
with which he answered prevented me
continuing my inquiries, and made me
more than ever convinced that it was
‘funk,’ and a very severe form of the
disease, too. In fact, he took very lit-
tle pains to conceal it.
“ ‘I hope to goodness that I shall not
have to go on shore,’ he said, when we
had nearly reached our destination. ‘I
wish the commander would lead the
party arid leave me here to look after
the ship.’
“ ‘It is not likely,’ I answered, gruff-
ly,'and Iwas glad that Lashton was
not about to overhear him. I an-
swered his next suggestion more gruff-
ly still.
“ ‘I suppose you would not like to
certify that I ought to be on the sick
list, would you. Macpherson?’ he asked
me, hesitatingly.
“I refused flatly.
“If he had told me the true reason of
his fear I might have acted differently,
for he looked ill enough, poor fellow!
His face had grown quite-white and
wan since we started.
“It looked whiter still next day when
he had to go in command of the! land-
ing party, which I accompanied, of
course. ,
“When we were fairly embarked on
the enterprise, his one idea seemed to
be to get it over with all possible
speed, and the haste with which he ad—
vanced to Kakoga’s country would
have been impossible if the men under
him had not themselves been so anx~
ions to get into action, and introduce a.
little change into the monotony of.
life on a gunboat.
“However, the change was less than
the majority of the blue-jackets hoped
for, the miserable little tribe did not
show fight, and our business was soon
accomplished. In five days from the
time we left the Dragon-fly we were
back again, none the worse for our
trip, except that we were all worn out
by Gilby‘s forced marches.
“The lieutenant seemed more ex-
hausted than any of us, and as soon as
he had received the congratulations of
the commander, he retired at once to
his berth. What surprised me was
that his spirits did not show any im-
provement after the chance of fighting
was at an end. It seemed to Hie as if
he were still expecting some calamity
to happen -to him, and I began to
wonder whether there ”might not be
something seriously wrong with his
health to account for all that had sur-
prised me in his manner. This expla-
nation, which had not occurred to me
while there was any real danger,
struck me forcibly, now that we were
safe 6n the gunboat, and, as soon as I .
had enjoyed the luxury of a bath after
my five days of discomfort, .I strolled
down to the lieutenant’s cabin to have
a look at him in the dew light of a pa-
tient. - '
“The door. of my friend’s cabin was
ajar as I approached it, and when I
glanced into the room before knocking,
I was Surprised to catch sight of En-
gineer Lashton standing by the side of
the lieutenant’s bunk. .
‘The fact of Lashton’s enmity for
my friend was so ' undisputed that at
the sight of his figure. in his enemy’s
cabin I felt quite justified in watching
what was going on before making my
presence known. Gilby was lying
across. his bunk, half undressed and
apparently fast asleep. The engineer
was standing over him with a bottle of
some black fluid in his hand. While I
watched, he made five small marks
with it on the sleeping map’s arm.
The operation seemed such a mysteri-
ous and inexplicable onethat I watched
bottle, without moving a step to inter-
fere with the man, but I pounced upon
him as he turned to leave the cabin.
“ ‘What on earth have you been
doing?’ I asked,unceremoniously, and
the-fellow seemed" rather taken back.
“ ‘It isonly a practical joke,’he said,
with a feeble attempt to smile uncon-
cernedly. .
“ ‘Joke or noljoke, I demand to see
' what is in that bottle,’ I said, authori—
tatively, my» mind full of mysterious
poisons, and the engineer handed it
over tamely. -
“The bottle contained nothing but
ink.”
“Ink!” I exclaimed, when the great
brain. specialist reached this point in
his narrative, and Macpherson smiled
in the peculiarly quiet way he has
when he has perfectly mystified a
hearer. , '
“Yes, ordinary ink,” he went on.
“The discovery naturally made me feel
rather foolish, but not so much as it
would have done if I had not been
convinced still that his action was in
some way a malicious one. What his
idea could be, however, it was impos-
sible for me to divine, andIfelt so
curious about it that I should have
roused my friend at once to inquire
how five black marks on his arm could
possibly affect his happiness, if he had
not looked so thoroughly worn out and
in need of sleep. As soon as Lashton
was gone, I left the cabin at once for
fear of disturbing the sleeper, without
stopping even to try and remove the
ink-stains, a. piece of stupidity at
which Ihave not ceased to wonder.
You see, it was impossible for me to
guess how desperately serious the plot
was that the engineer had formed
against the man whom he considered
his rival. I retired to my own cabin
opposite Gilby’s, keeping the door
open to make sure that Lashton did
not return to do more mischief, but I
made a poor sentry. I was tired out,
like the young lieutenant, through
not having had my proper amount of
rest for four nights, and I fell asleep
still wondering about the five black
marks.
“When Iwoke, I do not know how
long after, it was to find Gilby stand-
ing in my room, half undressed asI
had seen him in his bunk, but with his
shirt-sleeve buttoned up over the ink
stains on his arm. I was too full of
sleep, however, to notice the fact at _
the time, or even to remember for the
moment anything about what I had
seen. Sleepy as I was, I could not
help noticing the look of complete
misery and despair. on my friend’s
face. He was standing at the side of
my bunk, holding an envelope, and
when I started up, rubbing my eyes,
he put it into my hand. . .
“ ‘I am glad you are awake, Mae-
pherson,’ he said, in a strangely con-
strained tone. ‘I want to ask you to-
do me a favor. Will you give this let-
ter to Miss Callan personally when you
.see her? I do not want to take the
risk of sending it by mail.’
“ ‘But you will see her yourself as
soon as I shall,’ I said, in surprise at
the request, and Gilby did not reply.
Instead, he turned and walked out of
the cabin, leaving me staring at the
letter in my hand and wondering
what it meant. I was so stupid; with
sleep still that it took me two minutes
to think of any explanation at all.
When I did I was out of my bunk and
running across to the opposite cabin in
a second. Just in time, too, for Gilby
was in the act of locking his door when
I burst it open and rushed in without
ceremony. The fact that the young
lieutenant’s revolver and a. couple of
letters, one of them addressed to me,
were lying on the table, served to as-
sure me that my fears were not un—
grounded.‘ The first thing I did was
to secure the revolver. Then I turned
to my friend. ‘
“ ‘What the devil are you going to
shoot yourself for?’ I demanded,
bluntly.
“Gilby made no attempt to deny, his
intention.
“ ‘I am sorry you have disturbed me,
Macpherson,’ he said with perfect cool-
ness, ‘because it cannot make any dif-
ference.’ ” ,
“And the reason?” I asked, with in—
terest, for the doctor had paused to
light another cigarette. Macpherson
blew a whifi of smoke from his mouth
and continued his story.
“I suppose you have never heard of
a disease called "Guinea madness?’ he
asked, and when I shook my head he
went on:
“Neither had “I, until Gilby told me
about it, although I am a doctor. It is
one of those'strange diseases that limit
themselves luckily to a particular dis-
trict and is only found among a few
tribes along the coast of Guinea. It is
generally thought that Europeans can-
not take it, but the idea is an erroneous
tions, for Lieut. Gilby’s father died of
it when my friend was a boy of ten.
His father was captain of a trading
vesselpand the lieutenant was accom-
panying him on a voyage when they
called at the Guinea coast. He there-
fore saw his father in all the indescrib-
able agony of the disease, which seems
more like hydrophobia than anything
else. although it is infectious. ’
on him, and, since his constitution was
quite similar to his father’s, he had al-
ural terror of the Guinea coast. He was
quite persuaded that if ever he went
ashore there he would catch the dis-
ease and die like his father. Lashton
it seems, was aware of this monomania
of his, for it almost amounted to mono-
mania.” . .
“And he really had caught the dis-
ease?” I asked.
Macpherson smiled. “He thought he
had. The first symptom is the appear-
ance of small black marks on the arm
or leg.”—Pall Mall Budget.
