An All the Year
constant sufferers, while others have only occasional spells of Rheumatism
but either kind is wearing upon the constitution, and in time produce!
stiffness in the muscles and joints, and sometimes the acids thrown off b)
the blood settle upon the valves o' tne
heart and ends suddenly and fatally,
It wont do to let Rheumatism
run on. It is a dangerous disease, and)
you can never tell where it is going to
strike. Home remedies, plasters, lini
ments and such things as produce
counter-irritation, are soothing and
may relieve the pain temporarily, but
the polluted, acid blood cannot be
reached by external applications.
Rheumatism must be treated
through the blood, and no remedy
brings such prompt and lasting relief
as S. S. S. It attacks the disease in
the. k1wt neutralizes the acids, and
removes all irritating poisons and effete matter from the system.
S. S. S. strengthens and enriches the thin acid blood, and, as it clrctu
lates through the body, the corroding, gnawing poisons and acid deposit
are dislodged and washed out of the muscles and joints, and the sufferer
abont their case will receive valuable aid and helpful advice from our
physicians, for which no charge is made. We will mail free our special
book on Rheumatism, which is the result of years of practical experience iu
treating this disease. It contains much interesting information about all
kinds of Rheumatism. fXS SWUT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA. tUU

Round Disease.
Rbenmatism does not come and go with winter
time always; in fact some suffer more during the
Spring and Summer than at any other season. When
the blood is charged with Uric Acid, Alkali and other
irritating poisons, then the system is in the right
condition for Rheumatism to develop, and an attack
is liable to come at any time, Winter or Summer.
Rheumatism, because it attacks different parts of
the body, and is sudden or slow in its action, is given
various names such as acute and chronic, muscular,
articular, inflammatory, mercurial and sciatic, but it is
the same old acid blood that causes all. Some aiC

A MINISTER'S SNAKE STORY.
Few Laymen Could Produce a Better
Article In Tbat Line.
Dr. Watklus. the veteran missionary,
who has Just returned from a four
mouths' evangellcnl trip through the
outlying States, tells a strange s:ory
of n wonderful snake which lie killed
In an old. aliaudoned shaft of a mine
down In the State of tiuerrcro:
"My attention was attracted one
day " .says Mr. WatWlns. "by the hor
rifled cries of an Indinn miner who
mine runulng toward me. his face
glinstly with fright aud the pcrsplra
lion dripping like raindrops from li t
trow. 'J be man rushed up and cast
himself at uiy feet, where he liiy
trembling and gnp:ng. As kohii m he
was able to get his breath he told uie
th:,t be bad been aelzid by a horrible
monster which had sutldeuly sprung
uKn him from one of the hidden re
cesses of the mine, anil that he hud
tiari-iwly escaped being dtawu down
Iu Us embrace.
"My curiosity was aroused and I pro
reeded to the mouth of the sluift wiii
the tuna as soon ss I could Induce h.'m
to return. We looked down, but In the
ettase obscurity could see nothing.
Drawing T revolver, I made the man
go down Into the shaft a way, assur
ing him that oo harm would befall
hi in, as I would follow Hose with my
socked revolver ready for use.
"Tbe miner did as 1 comnmnded mid
bsd gone down for a number of feet,
when suddenly from the deuse black
ness I saw a huge and Indlxcrlbabiy
hideous bead with wide opin moulu
shoot up. Tbe Jaws of the creature
were wide open, showing Its slinrp
fanged teetb. Its mouth looking large
enough easily to take a man down
at one gulp.
"The miner screamed with terror
and I feared be would lose bis bold
and fall, but he cluug desperately to
the ladder while t thrust tbe barrel
of the revolver full Into the creature's
mouth and fired. With a tremendous
hiss It dropped its bead, and then we
saw It was a huge serpent, like unto
nothing I bad ever beard of before.
"As Its struggling body came Into
my view I Bred again, and tbe snake,
slipping from Ibe ledge on which It
had stretched Itself, fell with n
squashy thud to the bottom of Ihe
shaft, where we could hear It thrash
log about in struggles which momen
tarily grew weaker and finally ceased
altogether. Then we went below,
fasteued a rope ahout the body of tbe
reptile, and hoisted It to tbe surface.
"There was then unfolded before our
eyes the most hideous creature man
could ever dream of. Its bend ws
like tbe huge stone head of a frightful
ly carved Chinese dragon. Its hotly
about tbe middle was as luige as a
man's thlgb and Its length was so
great that I dure not say bow many
feet It measured. I very much regret
ted being unable to preserve Ihe skin
and bring It back for tbe study of
scientists, but I was compelled to leave
It behind." Mexican Herald.
