Rheumatism

Rheumatism
PEING due to the presence of uric
- acid in the blood, is most effectually
cured by the use of Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla. Be sure you get Ayers and no
other, and take it till the poisonous
acid is thoroughly expelled from the
system. We challenge attention to this
testimony -
"About two years ago, after suffering
for nearly two years from rheumatic
govt, being able to walk only with great.
discomfort, and having tried various
remedies, including mineral waters,
without relief, l saw by an advertise
ment in a Chicago paper that man had
been relieved of this distressing COM
plant, after long suffering, by taking
Ayers Sarsaparilla. I then decided to
make trial of this medicine, and took
it regularly for eight months, and am
pleased to state that it has effected
turn of the disease. Mrs. r. Irving
Dodge, 10 West 125th ST., New York.
Gone year ago was taken i'll with
inhammatory rheumatism, being con-
fined to my house six months. came
out of the sickness very much deblll-
tated, with no appetite, and my system
disordered in every way. I commenced
using Ayers Sarsaparilla and began to
improve at once, gaining in strength
and soon recovering my usual health.
1 cannot say too much in praise OF this
Well-known medicine" = Mrs. l.. "A.

PARIS Jan. 20-The socialists con-

Guesde says In an interview Thursday
that the Panama developments are ad-
vaneing tho hour Of Il socialist triumph,
"The revelations, bad as they are, have
told our party nothing new.
'It=has long been known that Oppor-
tnnist circles were tainted and falling
to pieces through decomposition. The
Panama affair is a great scandal, but
all great banks and industrial enter
prises are in much the same condition,
only the turpitnde is hidden more
deeply.
The Panama exposures will help to
enlighten the country. Small agricul-
~turists, their eyes opened to the dishon-
esty Of their deputies, will recognize
that II is only our party that can prom
ise something apprccinble, while asking
nothing in return. In one sense the

Unfortunately we can contest only

spite all disadvantages we shall return
forty to sixty members from the rural
districts and retain our hold on the

organization. we can attain victory
within four years along the whole
line.

that the Panama developments may as
