Rheumatism is due to an excess cf acid in the
blood. When this escapes through the pores of the
kin, as it often does, it produces some form of skin
eruption some itching disease like Eczema of
Tetter but when these little tubes or evtezt glands
are suddenly closed by exposure to cold and sudden
chilling of tie body, then the poisons thrown' off by Ji
the blood, finding no outlet, settle in membrane.
muscles, tissues and nerves. These parts become greatly inflamed, feverish and
hot ; dajger-like, maddening pains follow in quick succession, the muscles become
extremely tender, the nerves break down and the sufferer is soon reduced to a state
of helplessness and misery. This acid poison penetrates the joints and seems to
dry out the natural oils, and the legs, arms and fingers become so stiff and sore
that every movement is attended with excruciating pains.
Liniments, plasters, electricity and baths, while their ttse may give temporary
ease, cannot be called cures, for the disease returns with every chanje of the weather.

Somet imes the kidneys are apparently

more alarming symptom. The cause

A case in point is that of Mrs. . T.

Rome, N. Y. She says:
; "To begin with, 1 had gastritis,
which brought on sinking spells for
about an hour every morning. I was

j compelled to take to my bed. My
illness began in the spring of 1807,
and continued for about four months.
For about half this time I was con-
fined to my bed. I suffered greatly

"I had read about Dr. Williams
Pink Tills for Pale Teople and when
some of my friends recommended the
pills very highly, I decided to give
them a trial. I bought ono box and
by the time this was used up the sink
ing spells had ceased. I felt better
but continued taking the pills until I
had used 12 boxes. I still keep the
pills in the house for I believe that
they are a splendid medicine. I

Europeans regard politeness an nn ex
pression of those qualities of the heart
which render the person who desires
to be polite agreeable to those with
whom he Is thnm u. The Chinese look
upou the matter from an entirely dif
ferent standpoint. Tin same senti
ment which accord lmior. mho to the
preservation of dignity regulates his
actions as regards politeness. Here Is
an example of their politeness. A Chi
nese arrayed In his most beautiful
costume, who presented himself at a
house, disturbed a rat which was en
joying himself In a Jar of oil. The rat
In his flight ovtrturued the Jar upon
the visitor, whose dress was ruined.
While the unfortunate visitor was still
pale with rage his host entered the
apartment, and after the tiMual saluta
tion the visitor explained his misad
venture: "As I entered your honor
able apartment, I hnd the misfortune
to alarm your honorable rat, which. In
taking flight, overturned your honor
able jnr of oil upon my miserable and
Insignificant clothing, which explains
the contemptible condition In which
you find me In your honorable pres
ence." To determine your conduct when a
Chinese offers you a present Is the
most difficult thing In the world. Cer

Obeying; Order.
Gen. Harney w as an officer of the old
school a strict disciplinarian who took
no excuses for hesitation In obeying
orders. When lie was on his way to
Mexico, when the United State was
at wur with that country, he engaged
teams to transport the baggage, and
placed In charge of them a Texan nam
ed Carter. The stream were all up,
and Carter hnd much trouble, but
whenever he tried to modify the gen
eral's requirements he was cut short
with the admonition, "All you've got
to do Is to obey orders."
Rays Noah Sinlthwick, In his recollec
tions called "The Evolution of a State":
They camped one night near the Nue
ces river, which Carter found to be
Impassable. He said nothing about It
to the general, and the next morning
the order was given to move on. Car
ter started with the wagon train and
halted at the river, which, was absolute
ly Impassable. Harney came bluster
lug up.
"Didn't you know that river was
up?" he demanded.
"Yes, sir," meekly replied the wagon
master.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"You dliln't ask me, sir. You said
my business was to obey orders. You
ordered me to hitch up and move on.
and I did It."
"You did quite right air. Turn round
and drive back to camp."
If the general had been "done" he
was not going to Bhow It.
The Drink a Man Needs.
An average man requires fifty-nine
ounces of food per diem. He needs
thirty-seven ounces of water for drink
ing, and in breathing he absorbs thirty
ounces of oxygen. He eats as much
water as he drinks, no much of that
fluid being contained In various foods.
In order to supply fuel for running the
iKHly machine and make up for waste
tissue he ought to swallow dally the
equivalent of twenty ounces of bread,
three ounces of potatoes, one ounce of
butter and one quart of water. Tbo
body Is mostly water. The body of a
man weighing 154 pounds contains
nlnety-slx pounds, or forty-six quarts,
of water. .
