Imhammatory Rheumatism

For over two years l suffered IN
tcnsely with muscular rheumatism.
| became almost helpless, and had
to be helped out of bed. AT times l
was unable to turn myselfin bed, and
had to be handled as tenderly as an
infant. My chest was involved, and
the pain was intolerable at time. All
the old and well-known remedies
were exhausted. but no permanent
relief was obtained. About q year
ago was induced by a friend to try
Swift's Specific. The effect has been
magical. My friend scarcely. recog-
nized me. My rheumatism is entirely
gone, my general health is superb,

This work is the outcome of many
years of planning and preparation.
1t will be an almost indispensable
work of reference for every library,
large or small, Trustworthy guide
to what is most worth knowing of the
literature of all ages and all nations.
Occupying dozen or more volumes,
and yet issued at price so low as to
be within the reach of all, a familiar
ity with its contents will constitute a
liberal education to a degree that can
be claimed for few other works in
existence. DR.. Losing, the eminent
historian and author, says of it: 81
am strongly impressed with the great
intrinsic value of the work as a popu-
lar educator in a high department of
learning. The plan is admirable.
Combining as it does personal know
ledge of an author with specimens of
his or her best literary productions,
gives it an inestimable power for
good among the people" The work
is being published in parts of 100
pages each, paper covers, at the price
of 10 cents, also in very handsome
cloth-bound volums, gilt tops, 4SO
pages, for 60 cents. The parts can be
exchanged for bound volumes at
any time. Four parts are now ready,
also the first bound volume; volume
two will be issued in few days. The

his fellow Senators by making an
earnest and rigorous speech in open
session on the controversy between

respective powers regarding person,
suspended by Office. This is the first
public speech upon the subject, which
had heretofore been discussed only in

elled rapidly through the Capitol, and
the galleries were soon filled with
interested listeners. Mr.. Sherman
declared that all information upon
the files Of any Department belonged
to the Senate; that while he did not
claim that the Senate could exercise
any power over the Presidents dis.
