THE PAINS OF RHUMAvIsM

According to the best authorities,
originate in NOR bid condition OF the
blood. Tactic acid, caused by the de-
composition of the gelatinous and
albuminous tissues, circulates with the
blood and attacks the tibrous tissues,
particularly IN the joints, and thus
causes the local manifestations of the
disease. The back and shoulders are
parts usually affected by rhumatlsm
and the joints at the knees, ankles hips
and wrists are also sometimes attacked.
Thousands of people have found IN
Hoods Sarsaparllria a positive and
perrnanent cure for rhumatism. 1t has
had remarkable success III curing the
most severe cases. The secret OF Its
success lies in the fact that it attacks at
once the cause OF the disease by neu-
tralizing the Tactic acid and purifying
the blood, as we'll as Strengthening
every function Of the body.

committee returned and through its
chairman, Hon. W. H. Kitchin, an

In few fitting remarks Mr.. Claude
Kltchin presented the medal Mr.
kitchln said he had never heard as
good a defamation from boys of their
age. He did not believe Wake Forest
the University, Trinity, or any college
in the State could have surpassed the
oratory Of the Male School boys Mr..
Kitchin paid a merlted tribute to the
work Of the literary societies, tried to
impress upon the minds of the youth
the power of oratory, and encouraged
the boys, by citing such men as Jeffer-
son, Chas. O'Connor and Henry Grady
The speakers were the recipients OF
many flowers, mild yet beautiful ex-
preston of the appreciative audience
Masters Nortleet Smith, Mamie
Hoffman, Raymond Dunn, and George

sion was in every feature a success and
we have reason to be proud of the work
being done by the Male School. 1t IS

DEMOCRAT bespeaks for it the hearty
encouragement and support of all East

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous Inning of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets inhamed you have a rumbing
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed Deafness is the re-
suit. and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever nine cases out Of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is moth
ing but an lnfiamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for

THE MILLENNIUM NEXT YEAR.
| whitc-Haired Prophet Tells the
Progress Club of the Future.

The Progress Club met yesterday after
noon and after lecture by Rev. II. o.
Sommers, discussed single tax, socialism,
finances, governments, the Constitution, the
divinity of Christ the inspiration of the
Scriptures and the initiative and referen-
dunn. Rev. Mr.. Sommers discussed the
social questions of the day. He expressed
the belief that the churches and present
financial laws are responsible for the
bigotry Of the people and he pleaded for
more charity. After Mr.. Sommers had con-
cluded the members were allowed hve
minutes each in which to advance opinions
or offer criticisms. One speaker believed
the Bible is inspired. Another thought
Christ was the son OF God and another
thought He was a reformer MIR. Sommers,
VINO is a radical Universalist, took the
ground that Christ was a good man whose
teaching, il followed, would settle all social
questions and differences. The feature of
the meeting the remarks made by an
snow white hair. President Kennedy asked
for short talk from a Mr. Jewett, of
New A,bany who was d in the ro swatt bf
he walked to the front OF the room ana
said:
God to come again on earth but there
isn't any Son of God coming. 1t is the
ing for, and he will be here In the year 1895,
sure as the sun will rise tomorrow.
Certain members of the cluD laughed, out
the old white-headed prophet was not at all
disturbed and he went on to say: Laugh
if you want to, but you will see that |
am telling the truth. Everybody laughed
at me sixteen years ago when 1 first fore
told the coming of the son of man ac-
cording to the revelations of the Holy
Book. I told Mr. Blaine. that he could not
be elected, but he would not take my ad-
nominated / told him personally that he
would be elected, for the Holy Writ foretold
it. When he was nominated the second time
| knew he could not be elected and he
knows now that told the truth, believe
the Scriptures as they are written and
find that the Democratic party is right
where it belongs, as foretold more than two
thousand years ago. But son of God will
be nominated next time and lead us all
out of bondage, for John in his wisdom saw
when he said
But President Kennedy raped the
prophetic speaker to order and he was
forced to take his seat without finishing
his remarks
