 There are but few diseases that puzzle physicians more than rheumatism There are 8 great many theories as to its cause, and great many theories as to the best means of euringit, most of which are absurd.
 One of the greatest sufferers of rheuma- tlsm known in the annals of medicine IS John G. Jenks, of Riverside, R. I. He became the victim of rheumatism while in the army, and the disease seems to have given him . taste of all it's various tortures. Physicians and medicinesfailed to give him any relief, until at last he effected his own deliverance from the bonds of pain.
 Rheumatism" said MT. Jenks, when the subject was broached by reporter who went to hear his story. "Well, should say do know something about it; all learned by actual experience, too. I first contracted rheumatism in the army, and I have had every variety of the aff1iction since, and have suffered such agony with it that at times death was pleasant thought to dwell upon. Take medicine? Enough to stock a drug store, and none of it did me any good. Then I began to stddy the dis ease myself I made up my mind to get acquainted with the enemy and fight it on different lines. I had 8 theory of my own and began to look around for a remedy that was calculated to have the desired effect. One after another was tried until at last I hit upon Pain-Killer, which applied freely. Almost with the first application came re- lief. Ikepton using it and the rheumatism was soon knocked out. Neither have had any return of the trouble.
 "I also used Pain-Killer internally for the ague, another war relic. It did what pounds of quinine couldn't do.
 'Paln-Killer keeps guard in my house against all ills, and it has never yet slapt at its post of duty"

MIR ANDREWS TAKEN INTO CAMP.

MIR ANDREWS TAKEN INTO CAMP.
 For once that genial and whole-souled d
 gentleman, Edgar T. Andrews, has ad
 mitted he has been beaten, and right on
 his own ground, too. He has persisted all along that he couldn't be surprised,
 but few of his friends put up job on
 him the other night, and he has finally
 admitted that he met his Waterloo. It
 happened something like this. On Mon- day he harnessed up his trotters and started towards New Fairfield, promis- ing to be back early. He arrived at his
 domicile shortly after o'clock, ate his supper and was meditating deeply
 when sharp ring at the door attracted
 his attention. He dispatched his young son to find the cause of alarm at the
 gate, who returned with the imperative message that MT Andrews was wanted on personal business at the door. With
 his newspaper in hand he came briskly forward, and nearly tainted when he found his front piazza crowded with peo- pie. Perhaps he wasn't surprised. He even forgot to invite his guests in, but
 they didn't mind a little thing like this, and soon had complete possession of his house. MT Andrews was advised to go to the bakery after some food. for his guests insisted they were hungry. After some lively sparring between Messrs Duncombe and Andrews, the latter escap- ed from his friends to change his apparel. The guests, finding MT Andrews was
 backward in going to the bakery, adjourn ed to neighboring house, from whence they brought turkey, tongue Ca favorite dish with Brother Andrews), salmon, oysters, cake, pies, fruit, nuts. And such feast! And such a royal good time. MT Dibble did the honors in carv- ing and succeeded in meeting the de-
 mands of the hungry people. Follow
 ing the spread, MT Duncombe arose from the table and in behalf of MT Andrews
 Bethel friends presented him with a beautiful chair. MT Duncombe insisted that it was either on account of his deeds or misdeeds the gift was made and bade him to enjoy it. MT Andrews responded, but couldn't find words to express the gratitude he felt. Singing followed, some solos by Mrs Evans being espec- ially enjoyed. Among those who gath cred round the festive board were MT and Mrs Edgar T. Andrews and two children. Dr and Mrs Leroy Stone, MT and Mrs John H. Baird, MT and Mrs Archie Evans, MT and Mrs Charles Bai- ley, MT Peel, MT and Mrs Dibble, Miss Dibble, George F. Duncombe and Allison P. Smith.
