Please Mention This Paper.
When an eminent authority an
nounced in the Scranton, Pa., Times
that he bad found a new way to treat
that dread American Jineaae, Rheuma
tism, with just common, every-day
drugs found in any drug store, the phy
sicians were slow indeed to attach much
importance to his claims. This was
only a few months ago. Today nearly
every newspaper in the country, even
the metropolitan dailies, are announc
ing it and the splendid results achiev
ed. It is so simple that any one can
prepare it at home at small cot. It la
made up as follows: Get from any
good druggist Fluid Extract Dandelion,
one-half ounce; Compound Kaigon, one
ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla,
three ounces. Mix by shaking in a
bottle and take in teapoonful doses
after each meal and at bedtime. These
ate all simple iugiedients, making an
absolutely harmless home remedy at
little cent.
Rheumatism, as every one knows, is
a symptom of deranged kidneys. It is
a condition produced by the failuie of
the kidneys to properly filter or (train
from the blood the uric acid and other
matter which, if not eradicated, either
in the urine or through the skin poreg,
remains in the blood, decomposes and
forms about the joints and muecles,
causing the untold suffering and de
formity of rheumatism.
This prescription is said to be a
splendid healing, cleansing and invig
orating tonic to the kidneys, and gives
almost immediate relief in all forms of
bladder and urinary troubles and back
ache. He also warns people in a lead
ing New York paper against the dig
criminate use of many patent medi
cines. Calling the Kettle Black.

The Turkish Minister speaks very little

Q. Bernard Shaw, Cynical Wit, Not

O. Bernard Shaw, the Irishman who
keeps two continents amused with hia
cynical wit, Is 51 years old. He was a
long time coming

because a dull pub

ing him Birlously
and regarding him
as mildly insane.
Now that the read

public has come
to recognize the
fact that the genial
Irishman is usual

nized as the leader of a modern school
of literature one given to almost pure
cynicism. Mr. Shnw began literary
work by writing unsuccessful llctlon.
He then turned his attention to reviews
where he was more successful, and for
tunately his dramatic reviews have
been preserved to the world. He Is a
musician and his "The Perfect Wagner

Whenever a sore refuses to heal it Is because the Mood is not pure and
healthy, as it should be, but 13 infected with poisonous germs or some old
blood taint which has corrupted and polluted the circulation. Those most
usually afflicted with old sores are persons who have reached or passed mid
dle life. The vitality of the blood and strength of the system Lave naturally
begun to decline, and the poisonous germs which have accumulated because
of a sluggish and inactive condition of the system, or some hereditary taint
which has hitherto been held in chech, now force an outlet on the face, arms,
legs or other part of the body. The place grows red and anry, festers and
eats into the surrounding tissue until it becomes a chronic and stubborn
uleer, fed and kept open by the impurities with which the blood i3 saturated.
Nothing i3 more trying and disagreeable than a stuoborn, non-healing sore.
The very fact that it resists ordinary remedies and treatments 13 good reason
lor st. spicion; the same germ-producing cancerous r.lccr3 is back of every
