Rev. SAM JONES is one of the most
eloquent preachers this country ever
produced. When under full head
way he has command of language
which Beecher and Talmage never
dreamed of. We extract a single
gem from recent sermon. He re-
marked: John the Baptist was
the bravest type of Christian L know
of. He just jumped on Herod
and paved his feathers out. ~.

Hb6ard,S Rheumatic SyyabCWes
Our Grandson of infamma-
t0yv RbeUm1tjSm

Last spring my little grandson, Freddie
Wells, was stricken down with inhamma-
tory rheumatism. His limbs and hands
were very painfully swollen; the poor boy
was a great sufferer. One bottle of Hib.
bard's Rheumatic Syrup, together with the
plasters, applied over the parts affected,
cured the dear boy. Its efficacy in the
treatment of the boy led me to try it, as /
had for many years been troubled with
dyspepsia and disordered blood-a portion
of the time unable to do my work. Six
bottles gave me more relief than any med
icine have ever taken. My daughter,
Mrs. Harry Stone, was cured from a pros
trated condition from the effects Of rheu-
matism and liver troubles. We cannot
speak in too high terms of this remedy.
Mrs. n, J. BURTON,
Newton, Iowa.
Hibbard's Rheumatic Syrup is wonder
full in the cure of rheumatism and blood
diseases. Many of my customers have
been greatly benefited by its use.

The proceeds with tho aid of tho city If
