tism In existence. The doctor long suce discovered
the folly OF applying external remedies for disease
that has its seat in the deepest channels OF the
blood, and therefore set to work to discover a rem
edy for Rheumatism and mankind may rejoice in
his Rheumatic NeutrsZer.
ApEFISITION ON RHEUMATISM.
II you have thorn or splinter IL your finger and
you put on ChlorOform, OF some other drug, you
stop the sensibility Of pain for time only. The
thorn Is still there and soon a. the effect OF the
drug dies away the pain returns In order to get rid
of the pain You must have that thorn plucked out of
the flesh. That is precisely the same way with
rheumatism you might rub on the skin some drug
to stop the pain for little time, but the pain is
sure to return the effect Of the drug dies
away. Now II has been proven beyond the slightest
doubt that Rheumatism ia in the deepest Channels
Of the Blood and that there Is other way 10 reach
1t only through the Blood. This has been demon
strated right here in Portland by dozens of people
that have been cured by DR.. Henley's Rheumatic
Neutrnliler. That II Is the only Medicine that has
Ever Reached the case and made Lasting and Per.
manent Cures. In fact the only true principal for
Eradtcatlng rheumatism from the system is through
the Blood. 1t is pack OF nonsense to attempt any
other method, that IL, Ii you would wish Perma-
nent aud Lasting Cure,
The Doctor has come to the conclusion, after
twenty-five years travel and close uvcstigation that
the Liver has great deal to do with Rheumatism.
A man or woman with good sound Liver seldom or
ever has any pains aches. The Doctor has got up
a Concentrated Liver Pill one pill for dose. one
Of these Pills has effect in rousing the torpid
Liver than gross Of other Pills BY all means use

The FariRCOmmissiOu.

Chicago, S.-The Tariff commission
heard this morning, representatives OF
the American paper makers association.
They said they asked no tAvors except the
retention Of the present tariff which was
beneficial to the paper interest. The pro-
lection granted was slight compared with
Of the business and with other interests.
The wsges paid psper makers are geo to
300 per cent higher than abroad. Only q
few newspapers have asked 8 reduction
Of the rates on paper for years; the i'm
ports are Insignificant. Newspaper lie
about shade higher than in Europe; but
cry against paper makers was uncalled
for and unjust; competition at home
secures newspaper men cheaper prices
than they would have If they took their
own way. O. o. Chapman. of Spring
field, Mass, said he was protecti0nist
from principle, in paper as il other mat
ter. Protection had given workingmen
here the most respectable homes on
earth. The duty on wood pulp was
small affair, newspapers ought, above
every body to be thankful for wood pulp.
B. w. French, Of Three Rivers, Mich,
manufacturer of wood pulp and paper
also argued in favor of the existing
duties; 1000 tons of wood pulp was pro-
dnced daily in the United States. Much
money was invefted in patents for
making it, which would be lost IL pulp
was admitted free.
Parker Earl, Of Golden, Ills, q fruit
grower, presented resolution from the
Mississippi Valley in favor OF abSOlute
free trade between the United States
and Canada, on horticultural products of
domestic growth.

in favor Of The abolition Of the duty on

could be produced in the western states

up it is has a diugy, dull, rough appear-

Thread silk is smooth, strong and
lustrous, and will endure for years with or.

never use spun silk again, at any price,
