SCiiatiC Rheumatism

For real blood diseases relief can only be obtained by using s real blood reme- dy. So many people who are sufferers from an obstinate or deep-seated blood disease make the mistake of taking rem edies which at best are only tonics and cannot possibly reach their trouble. It is in just 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 it. 2
 Mir. Asa Smith. who resides at Green castle. Indiana. where he is we'll known, writes:
 "For many years have suffered from that terrible disease known as Sciatic Rheumatism, which the treatment of many physicians failed to reliev3. l 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- aition and the extent of my sufferings

 Mr. H. G. Howe concluded his visi' and returned to Tombstone thi. moru- ing. He was noticed carrying large roll in very careful manner ss though it might contain sgss or dynsmi'e We were informed. however. that it was merely . map of the Bisbee town site On which MT. Howe has expended considerable time and attention.
 Bisbee may bs rather slow in going ct some things. but she generally msnsges to get her share Of everyt thing in time. We thous ht for soms time that, owing ts natural difficulties, a bicycle crazs in Bishes was out of the question. The cpinion was strength ehed considerably on two different occasions when agents came into town and tried to impress on our minds the merits and sdvantsgas of the delusive wheel" The total failure of both to produce anything but . smile of cre- duiiiy was taken as proof positive that Di-bee would not come under any such fashionable spell but To and be- hold, after bicycle agents had tsbooed the town, and after Mir. Bropby had sorrow.ully consigned his bicycles to the dead stock department, the people seemed to awake to the fact that they were overlooking something. and then the craze was upon us. T;,s smusing now it is over, to look back and think Of the course it took in it's vic- torious march. First two or three of the boys took to riding, and then b!uff talk about . bicycle race with ha.se came into vogue. This c.inched the matter, and everyone co nmenced to ride. We soon had races down our only street, and were in danger of being run over con- stsntly, we had fancy riding, trick riding, riding into the store, riding down stsirs (head f,sD and no one knows whst kind of riding we didn't have. Even the young led es had to ride. This was ra her hard on the "solid boys"who had to follow along behind with . lantern, but then the dear girls couldn't be lei: ou. you know and i. was cut of the question for them 10 ride in daytime. Then We had Ben Pierce. Allie sowles. and others trying their wheels from to II on dark evenings and sweeping the dust of oi the library plaza unseen and sd in6r.- itum. But all things have an end and 60 It was with the Bisbes bicycle craze. No more do we hear heavy taking Of . bicycle rider racing a horse, no more do the "poor boys" drag . lantern about for the assiss- tsnce of their best girl. no more do our friends Ben and Allie sweep the dust from Bisbee's streets. All of this is psssed and gone. Now and then boy who has just finished saving up the necessary quarter or an en- thu.isstic Mexicano turns himself loose for a while but attracting no st- tentinn snd finding all roads to be up- hill, speedily concluded that he was lsboring under . delusion ard de- sists- So perishes another Bisbee "nuisance."

The social gwen by the Epworth and Junior Leagues at the Methodist church was we'll attended, tho large church building being comfortably filled.

Ths readings by Aiss Me- Cormiek and Miss Hill were excellent selections and were read with that precision and correctness that come with care and much reading.
