But like many other busy men. MI.
LeSeur was overtaken by Rheumatism
and soon his strength gave way to a
condition of he1p1essness. This dread
disease produces more agony, he says,
than can well be described. "For
years I have suffered with Sciatic
Rheumatism and often felt as If a
small piece of my spine had been
taken out, also as if a fragment of
bombshell had passed through my left
hip. When ! would sit down, / could
not s~traighten up for several minutes,
and then only at the expense of great
pain. l could get absolutely no relief,
though many remedies were tried.
Someone recommended S. S. S. and I
was almost in despair when I began it's
use. In three days, however, I wa
so greatly relieved that I felt very
little Inconvenience from the rheuma-
tism. The disease grew less painful
as I continued the S. S. S., and very
soon disappeared entirely. S. S. S.
also proved to be a fine tonic, as I now
have more appetite, and feel better
than ever before, in my life. / cannot
say too much in praise of s. S. s."
rheumatism is a condition of the
blood which has always baf1ed the
doctors, and it is a popularity that
those who once have 1t are sure to al
ways be subject to its attacks from
time to time. The reason of this is
that the doctors are only able to give
temporary relief, but cannot rid the
system of the disease permanently.
S. S. S. guaranteed purely regetable) Is
the only real blood remedy for real
blood troubles, such as Rheumatism,
Scrofula, Cancer, Eczema, Catarrh,
letter, Contagious Blood Poison, etc.
When S. S. S. once forces a disease
from the system it never returns. Our

Thomas j Hubbard Dead.

Thomas Jefferson Hubbard, fol
many years a prominent man in this
county, died at his home, near Santa
Fe, on Tuesday, November "a, at the
age of "a years. His funeral was held
at Littleby Church or Thanksgiving
Day. Mr.. Hubbard was one of the
pioneer settlers of Audrain County.
having come to this county in 1928,
and during his active years was n OF
the best informed and best known
men in this part of the State.
He was born in Howard County,
Missouri, in 1922 and when he was six
years old his parents moved to this
county aud settled near Santa Fe.
Here the child grew into manhood
and developed mentally as well as
physically. He was remarkably well
read and informed on the leading SUBJ
jects of the day, politically and other
wise. He eve aspired to nor held
any public office, but lived a quiet life,
honored and looked up to by those
who knew him.
In 1866 he married Miss Drake, of
Monroe County, and four children,
three sons and one daughter, were
born to them. These were Mortimer
and Henry, twins, and Walter and a
daughter, now Mrs. Dougan Gray, all
of this county.

Now, on this, the 7th day of Novem-
Der, 1896, comes the Plaintiff in the
above entitled cause and files his aft
davit with the Clerk of this court, in

1t la therefore ordered by the Clerk of

and held at the Court House, in the
City of Mexico, State and county
aforesaid, on the third Monday in

About Antitoxin.

The following interesting article
about the recently discovered remedy
for diphtheria comes from the Medical
Journal of May 3oth:
I. Antitoxic serum does not seem
to be capable Of causing threatening
symptoms and speedy death, even
when brought quickly into the blood
current in very large doses.
2. The carbolic acid used in pre-
serving the antidiphtheritic serum
must be in such a weak solution as to
be entirely unable to cause the char
acteristic carbolic commissions pro-
duced In every n of q second SER
les of experiments. The absence OF
these commissions in patients in the
cases Of sudden death, the entirely
different group of symptoms reported
In them, and the fact that guinea-pigs
and rabbits will survive even very
large and concentrated doses of car
bolic acid injected into a vein, lead us
to discard the possibility of this drug
having caused the reported deaths.
B. Even very small quantities OF
air will cause severe disturbances and
ultimate cessation of breathing in
every animal experimental upon.
These disturbances are entirely anal
agous to the symptoms reported as
preceding the sudden deaths after
antitoxin injections. Air Is found
alongside of the fluid in every syringe
used for hypoderm!c injections, and
being pressed under the skin with the
fluid may readily come in contact with
. punctured cutaneous vein and 30
may enter the blood vessel and the
right heart, even before the serum
has been absorbed. In view of these
facts and our experiments, we here
express our firm opinion that the sud-
den deaths reported after antitoxin
injections were caused by injected air
and not by the antidiphtheritic serum.

About Turned Down Lamps.

The following, from a leading med
ical journal, has been handed the
LEDGER by a friend and is well worthy
of close reading:
Who would suppose that a turned
down kerosene lamp would breed
diphtheria? We are all accustomed
to the d~isagreeable fumes arising from
this cause; and when New York was
suffering from IN epidemic of diph-
liberia, the Board of Health decided
that its presence was to be attributed
to the fumes of kerosene lamp turn
ed down low more than to any other
single cause. Whether or not this be
so, it is certainly a mistaken kindness
on the part of an indulgent mother to
allow a lamp to remain in a chiid's
bedroom with the fame turned down.
A turned-down kerosene lamp is a
magazine of deadly gas, to which the
strongest lungs cannot be safely ex-
posed.

Mexico won the toss and gave JEFF
City the ball. The first half LASTED
twenty minutes, and Ferris made one
touchdown for Mexico, but the goa.
was missed, and the score at the close
was 4 to o In favor of Mexico. The
home boys were doing splendid team
work and the visitors sadly lacked
this, while their individual work was
well up. Alice, JEFF City's standby,
who played fullback on the Tigers
last year, was hurt and his place waf
taken by Fitzgerald, whose place in
the line was filed with q sub.
The second half lasted twenty-five
minutes and was devoid of any ex-
citing plays. Mexico made steady
gains and soon after play had been
called Potts made a touchdown, but
Graham failed to kick goal. An
other touchdown by Potts and a sue
cessful goal kick by Graham made
the score IA to 0 in favor of Mexico,
which remained unchanged until time
was called. In the last half Geo.
Graham was knocked out and his
place was taken by Potts. Potts
place in the line was filed by Menefee,
who did good work. The home boys
played well and although the game
would have been more interesting
had the score been more even, every
body was pleased with the way the
Mexico team showed up. A good
sized crowd was present.
Fred Morris and Coach Stampfii, Of
the JEFF City team, umpired and ref
creed the game. Pitcher and n of
the visitors acted al linesmen and
Charleton timed.

.VANDALIA, Mo-, November 26.-
Thanksgiving Day is being appro-
priately observed throughout the
city and all business houses are closed.
Turkeys were brought in yesterday
from a distance of twenty miles.
Festivities as a rule seldom come
without attending sorrow, and SO this
community is made to mourn the loss
of one of it's foremost citizens, in the
person of G. D. Rose, late assistant
cashier of the Farmers and Mer-
chants Bank. His age was 35 years.
Disease was quick consumption. Fun
eral services yer held at the @. P.
Church,o which for years he had been
a ready working member. He leaves
a beloved wife and a six-year-old
daughter. The remains now rest in
the Vandalia Cemetery and were at
tended by perhaps the largest funeral
procession ever witnessed at this
place.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.
Frorn tha Iournal Aer,culture.

From the Journal Agriculture.
Unless q careful selection of corn lie
made each year it win tend to 'srun
out"
It will pay well, even this late, to
put the tools and machinery under
shelter, If any r out.
A poor farm can be bought much
cheaper than a rich one, and by proper
rotation the poor farm can soon be
made rich.
There should be regular hours for
work on the farm. Too many farmers
break down their health by exposure
and overwork.
A writer wants some eminent agri-
culturist to explain why pumpkin and
watermelon vines always grow cross
ways with the row?
Farmers cannot afford to expert
ment except on a small scale. The
business of the experiment stations is
to carry on extensive experiments.
Small machinery that becomes
clogged with dirt or the bearings, can
be cleaned says a writer, by piunging
it into boiling soap suds to which has
been added ammonia. Afterw ards
wipe dry.
An exchange says: The modern
farmer is always on the lookout for
new ways of saving money and labor.
A very cheap and s~erviceable basket
for general use can be made from an
old soap box or berry crate by mailing

The busiest and most useful men
are not always exempt from sickness.
Especially IRE they liable to be at
tackled and completely disabled bythat
most annoying and painful ailment-
Rheumatism. Men In all walks of life
are subject at any time to be seized
with this disease, and besides the great
bodily pain, there is almost unbearab1e
mental anguish at the thought of hav-
ing ones strength and vigor gradually
supp1anted by a condition of utter
he1p1essness. Under the effects of
Rheumatism, the strongest men be-
come the weakest, and the most useful
are robbed of their usefulness.
Mr.. J. A. LeSeur has lived in At

entire nervous system, pumps out
the tissues, starts the blood into
healthy circulation and regulates the
action of the nerves It makes peo-
pie we'll, strong and energetic.
Mrs. r. r. Pratt, of Centre Brook,
Conn, whose portrait is given here,
says plainly:
i "I find Paine's celery compound a
perfect medicine. I took several bot
ties for general debility, and it did for
me all I could ask. 1t made me well.
I have recommended it to my friends,
and they all speak in its praise"
Paine's celery compound is the most
assured and direct means of getting
back a full store of vitality. Ii is a
true nerve regulator. 1t exterminates
all vicious humors that linger in the
blood. It cures rheumatism, and Is
used by physicians as a specific for
this disease.

RoZier. Me-:

fever in its worst form. I employed
the best physicians, but received no
permanent relief. When I commence
ed to take Paine's celery compound
my feet and hands were swollen 80
badly that they were useless. l could
not walk a step, and was suffering
very much. When I had taken four
bottles of Paine's celery compound I
could walk well, and I continued until
I took six bottles. It made me per-
fectly well, and 1 have been SO ever
since. I wish the whole world might
know of its great value"
Paine's celery compound makes peo-
pie well!
Winter searches out the weak parts

There are very intelligent men and
women who still prefer open fires to
steam pipes and furnaces.
But only a very shallow minded
person would deliberately choose an
old fashioned remedy in case of sick
ness.
Sufferers from neuralgia, rheuma-
tism or kidney trouble want the surest
and most advanced remedy science
can give them. Getting well is not a
matter of sentiment, but the most
seriously practical matter. This is
why the most thoughtful and conser
vative people now use Paine's celery
compound, and recommend it to
friends and relatives who r threat
ened or afflicted with nervous exhaus-
ton, sleeplessness, disordered liver or
blood diseases.
