or pracucea oy aevu-possessea savage, has caused more
bodily suffering, such deep, racking pams, as this pitiless
uisvase. xvucumaiism leaves in lis trau distorted muscles,
crooked and misshapen joints and limbs, and the intense
uaiu auu aguuy cuuureu is renectea in xne naggard ana
furrowed countenance of the sufferer. Rheumatism makes
ns grow old and decrepid before our time, and many an
Y one m me ruu vigor ot mannood has been suddenly
. stricken by this ruthless disease, and made almost as helpless and dependent as an infant
Chained to the invalid's chair or hobbling about on crutches, and continually tormented
with pain, the patient in desperation resorts to the use of opiates, which deaden the pain but
lead to ruinous habits. There is no disease so aggressive and stubborn as Rheumatism
I after it becomes well intrenched or fixed in the system, and no liniment or other external
1 application can check it or do any permanent good. Rheumatism is not due to outside
influences or causes, but is a constitutional disease, an internal inflammation produced by a
too acid condition of the blood. Waste matter that should have been cast out of the body is
retained, fermentation takes place, Uric, lactic and other acids form and are absorbed into
Lu .. A 5 : -...J REPEATED FAILURES, THEM RELIEF.
these corrosive, irritating acids ; when exposure to cold
and damp or a spell of indigestion will bring on a fierce
attack that almost takes the breath by its suddenness
and severity. The parts affected become inflamed and
swollen, and every movement is attended with pains
that seem to cut like a knife into the tender flesh and
nerves. - After Rheumatism becomes chronic there is al
. ways a soreness and weakness of the back and dull
throbbing pains in the muscles and joints and an ever increasing stiffness of the limbs.
This'Demon of Pain attacks the old and young, the strong and tho weak no one is cxer.;pt,
but from middle life to old age is the time when its assaults become most frequent and severe.
At this period the vital energies begin to wane, the blood grows weak and thin, and is easily
chilled, the circulation becomes uncertain and slow and there is scarcely a moment's
freedom from pain in some part of the body.
The treatment of Rheumatism must be internal; some remedy that can reach and
neutralize the poisonous acids and cleanse the circulation. S. S. S., a purely vegetable
medicine, acts promptly and surely in all Rheumatic cases, purifying and invigorating the
impoverished blood, eradicating all impurities trom the
system, and sending a stream of rich new blood to wash out
the irritating particles that are causing the inflammation
and pains. In chronic cases, or those developing late in
life, S. S. S. is especially effective ; it warms aud enriches
the blood, restores nervous energy and stimulates the
failing organs, improves the appetite and digestion, and
builds up the general health, thus fortifying the system against the tortures of Rheumatism.
.Alkalies, Potash anl mineral remedies have an opposite effect, destroying the delicate lining
of the stomach and often permanently impairing the constitution. S. S. S. is guaranteed
entirely vegetable, and a specific in all Rheumatic troubles. Our Physicians will gladly
advise, without charge, all who write them about their case, and we will mail tree our special

To review the past six months, death
has certainly reached a harvest In the
vicinity of this city.
. The fire at the Sraugg-ler-Unlon suf
focated B; the explosion of dynamite
at the Japan tunnel caused the death
of two. and the accident at the Tom
Boy yesterday resulted In the death of
two men who went Into an abandoned
shaft and were overcome and died
from gases and powder smoke. Many
othera have been Idlled by falling
rocks In different mines.
If the death list In yesterday's slides

Mrs. Wayland left the boy in the
nurse's care at 1 oclock Friday aft
ernoon and when she; returned at 6
she learned that the girl had packed a
valise with many valuables belonging
to tbe bouse. Carrying this and lead
ing the child, she had told the other
servants she was going to deliver the
valise to a girl to whom It belonged.
That was the last seen of her or of
Edgar. The case was put Into t he
hands of detectives, but no trace of the
pair has been found.
One theory is that the abductor had
been urged to the deed by men who"
hope to obtain a reward for the child.
Another is that the gdrl had been In
spired by reading novels; She is only
19 years old, and has 10000, which is
in trust for her in Toronto.

COUNTERFEIT COLD.
Few persons know that the gold in
color printing and on picture frames
Is made from a composition powder
of bronze and spelter, and not from
pure gold leaf, but which, however,
gives the same effect. There Is another
article that Is very much Imitated, and
that Is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
Stpurious dealers often refill the bot
tles, and thus give them the same ap
pearance as the original, but unless
they have ur Private Stamp unbrok
en over the neck they are not the gen
uine. Refuse all such Imitations. The
genuine Hoetetter's Stomach Bitters
has an unequaled record for cures of
-stomach complaints back of It, such
as dyspepMa, Indigestion, constipation,
biliousness, nervousness, Insomnia and
malaria, fever and ague.
