McNary. w.ith a view to prosecuting Mike Nicliatich. Albert Ferris and Albert Mur ray, the convicts who escaped on Friday last with George Carter and ueorge sjun- can, under an old Oregon statute which makes an attack' upon a prison officer by a convict armed with a deadly weapon a capital offense.

The disease is caused by an excess of urio acid in the blood, which comes from indigestion, weak kidney3, constipation, and other irregularities of the system. This urio acid produces an inflamed and acrid condition of the blood, and the circulation, instead of nourishing the different portions of the body, continually deposits into the muscles, nerves, joints and bones, the irritating and pain-producing acid with which, it is filled. Then follow the painful and tortiying symptoms of Rheumatism. "We do not claim for S. S. S. that it is anything more than a first class blood purifier, and that is just what is needed to cure Rheumatism. S. S. S. goes into the circulation, and by neutralizing the urio acid and driving it from the blood, effectually and surely removes the cause of Rheumatism. S.S.S. strengthens and invigorates the blood so that instead of a weak, sour stream, causing pain and agony throughout the system, it becomes an Invigorating, nourishing fluid, furnishing health and vigor to every portion of the body, and permanently relieving the suffering caused by Rheumatism. S.S.S. is purely vegetable and will not injure the most delicate system. Book on Rheumatism and any medical advice free to all who write. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA.
