II the men, women and children o
America could see the danger that !
lurking around them each day and Of
every side, the most courageous woult

danger IL all the greater for this reason
Most people who read these lines ar'
almost certainly on the threshold o
what may be serious, possible fata
danger. The forces that 20 to max,
life may be snapped instantly or BY
gradual degrees. The greatest danger
are often the most silent and least oh

even their slightest appearance.
These truths were strikingly Illus
trated in the experience Of Q gentleman
well known to most of the American
public. Mr.. W. j. Ferguson, who IL

management Of Mr.. W. W. Kelley, ha,
been making such . pronounced sue
cess, Is perhaps the best light comedian
on the stage. He Ia = gentleman Of
slight build, possessing grace Of man
ner and modulation Of voice specially
attractive because Of Its rarity. He ha,
worked hard and conscien tiously In the
past and his success is the result ol
merit AMI labor. But for o number Of
years, and indeed up to u comparative
ly short time, Mr.. Ferguson was most
mysteriously afflicted, 70 much 30, that
he refused numerous tempting offers
to travel through the country as far Al
California, and played only In New
York city and vicinity. Speaking to a
representative Of this paper upon the
subject he said
l was conscious that something waa
silently but surely working against my
life. At times l would feel shooting
pains in my sxtremities, aud then again
my muscles and joints would fairly
throb with agony. I was feverisli un
easy and lost my ambition and interest
In life. These troubles grew until what
were at first minor pains and annoy
snoes became actually burdens Of
agony. 1t seemed " though l could
feel the disease growing and
creeping to every portion Of my
body. III had been careful In the be-.

I could not leave the house and was
confined To my bed q good portion of
the time, and of course under the imme-

did all they could for me, and in fact did
everything except relieve me-"
"That, certainly, is no uncommon
thing" said the reporter, but 1t is

to do by means of Warmers Safe Rheu-

"And was the friendly tip your

the form of Warmers Safe Rheumatic

now starring in ?"
"No, ! can hardly say 1t was,

1t has been estimated from careful
statistics that there are no less than
four millions Of people in America who
are suffering at this season of the year
from some form Of rheumatic difficulty.
Why they will do 10 when it can ltrEely
be avoided, seems very great mys
tory.
