Dreadful
Rheumatism.

No disease has puzzled the doctors
so completely as rheumatism-thatd de-
p1orab1e condition of the blood which
so often renders the strongest man as
helpless as a babe. Their mercurial
and potash remedies may in some
cases i1npart temporary relief, but are
sure to ultimately result in wrecking
the entire system.
Rheumatism is a deep-seated blood
disease and only real blood remedy
will have any effect whatever upon
it. Most of the so-called blood rene
dies are at best only tonics and cam
not reach an obstinate blood trouble.
One of the most frequent symptoms of
rheumatism is a tingling sensation of
the parts affected, generally brought
about from lack of free circulation
of the blood through the very small
blood conductors. This trouble is al
ways eliminated by the use of S. S. S.;
it thins the blood, gives it free and
forcible circulation, destroys the pois-
onous microbes and restores the Circu-
1ation to its normal condition.
Mr.. Robert II. King, a prominent
and influential citizen of West Point,
Va, writes of his experience with this
dread disease:
about five years ago l was great
sufferer from rheumatism. l was
treated by all the leading physicians

"A Telephone Siege.

A forecast of tie method in which
future International differences may.
possibly be settled is seen in story
fresh from Cuba,and fighting with bull
let and sword seem very brutal by
contrast. It is told how an insurrec-
ZIONIST officer in command of rebel
regiment, arrived at the outskirts of
a town defended by a Spanish garri-
son. Instead of exchanging the usual
compliments of insurrectionist war
fare in the shape Of a shower Of bull
lets, and the opening up of his artill-
cry, he adopted the tactics Of the mod
ern prize fighter. Managing to secure
a connection with a long distance tele-
phone line. he asked to be switched
on to the commander of the garrison.
When the Spanish commander re-
sponded, he was at once summoned
to surrender. AS a matter Of course,
his first reply to this demand was
that every man in the garrison would
shed his life's blood sooner than yield
to the enemies of Spain. When this
stage was passed, which did not take
long, the Cuban insurgent leader sug-
gested that it might save lifeblood on
both sides if the question could be
calmly discussed. This was eventual
IL done, and after a comparison of the.
relative strength Of the two forces
the rebel chief was able to convince
the commander of the garrison That
he had fallen into tolls from which.
there was no escape, and that the.
only alternative to certain death was
