Rheumatism

For real blood diseases relief can only
be obtained by using real blood rene
dy. So many people who are sufferers
from an obstinate or deep-seated blood
disease make the mistake of taking REM
edics which at best are only tonics and
cannot possibly reach their trouble. 1t
is in lust such cases which other so-called
blood remedies cannot reach that
S.S.S. has made some of the most won
derful cures. Rheumatism is one OF
the most obstinate diseases Of the blood,
and there are few remedies which have
any effect whatever upon 1t.
Mr.. Asa Smith, who resides at Green
castle, Indiana, where he is well known,
writes:
"For many years have suffered from
that terrible disease known as Sciatic
Rheumatism, which the treatment OF
many physicians failed to relieve.
| have also used nearly every known
blood remedy, but they did me
no good, as they did not seem to
reach my case at all. Possibly my con-

The taking of testimony occupied the
afternoon, The first witness was 'Spikey
Jones, who discovered Mrs. Rech's body
and to whom Rech attempted to divert
suspicion. He recited in detail his sus-
picions and his search of the premises.
He felt that the woman had been foully
dealt with because of Rech's frequent
threats to kill her. He said he was not
alone in his suspicious, as neighbors had

STRANGE things do happen in Jersey, As
the worshippers were coming out of Baptist
church in New Brunswick Sunday night, a
possum darted into the crowd, creating as
much CONSERVATION among the ladies as a
good sized rat would have done, but the
'opossum was'evidently a gallant one as. he
did not molest the ladies but buried his teeth
in the leg of a young man in the crowd. The
report of the affair states, and the conjunc-
ton seems most appropriate one, that a
eolored man caught the 'possum and the
excitement subsidized.
