BODY BACKED VITO PAIN
No other disease causes such wide-spread suffer ng as Rheumatism. It
re a nerve racking torture, and so thoroughly dots it dominate the system
then it becomes entrenched in the blood, that its victims are usually com
frlete slaves to pain. Rheumatism is due to an excess of uric acid in tht
blood brought on by stomach troubles, weak kidnevs, indigestion, and 8
sluggish condition of the system. The natural refuse of the body, instead
of passing off through the ordinary channels of waste, is left to sour and
ferment in the system because of these irregularities, forming uric acid
which is absorbed into the blood, and Rheumatism gets a foothold. As the
blood circulates through the body it deposits the acrid, irritating sub
Stances with which it is saturated, into the different muscles, nerves, tissues
and bodes. Sharp, biting pains commence, the flesh becomes feverish,
swollen and tender, the muscles and joints throb and jerk, and the body
is literally racked with pain. Plasters, blisters, liniments, etc., can never
cure the disease; they relieve the pain, per
haps, temporarily, but do not reach the
trouble, which is in the blood. S. S. S. is the
proper treatment for Rheumatism. It goes
down and attacks the disease at its head, and

New Motor Power Discovered.
It Is reported by Hudson Maxim,
the Inventor of smokelees powder,
that he has devised a torpedo boat
that will travel' 60 miles an hour. His
secret Is In a new motor power; mo
tolte, he calls It. This new power will
be used to propel the torpedo as well
as the torpedo boat. The Invention
will be put at the disposal of the
United States government, and It la
said to be the most destructive means
of naval warfare possessed by any na
tion. The rate of speed of the pres
ent Whitehead torpedo Is 35 miles an
hour. Not only will the speed of the
motoite torpedo be more than a mile
a minute, but the range will be twice
the distance covered by the present
torpedoes driven by compressed air.
The secret of motoite Is a delicate
blend of nltro-plyrerlne, guncotton.
one other substance, not disclosed,
and the application of a new system
of Jet propulsion, the same principle
on which automobiles are run. Mr.
Maxim started out seeking to Invent
a torpedo that would surpass the
speed of the slow Whitehead torpedo.
Hu not only did that, but discovered
A motive power so tremendous that It
Is expected to revolutionize submarine
warfare and may evert, later, send
trnns-Atlantle liners across the seas
fter than the fastest express trains
move on land. Ex.
