POISON IN THE BLOOD

Which Is the Direct Cause Of Rheumatism,
and in Pact of Most Physical Troubles
- hThese are trying times"
The speaker was a middle.aged man and
father of quite q family.
~ don't refer to business" he continued,
"but to the trying weather. have Sc
we're attack of rheumatism, my wife has a
bad cold and the rest of the family are not
weil.''
II know it is a common thing to lay all
these troubles to the weather. but have
come to the conclusion that the condition
OF the system has much to do with it. If
the man who has rheumatism and the
woman who has a cold will trace back for
the cause, it will be found in some weak
ness of the body.''
"And do you know what I think the
greatest weakness in the body is? / will
tell you. | believe it is due to uric acid,
which is in the blood, keeping it fermented
all the time. know that it causes rheu-
matism, and. believe, most colds"
You naturally ask how does this uric
acid get into the blood. The answer is
very simple. The kidneys do not do their
duty and throw it from the system as they
should, and therefore it remains in the
DioCu, ana believe that ii uric acid were
removed from the blood most rheumatism
and colds would disappear
The gentleman was right, and he might
have added that Blight's disease of the
kidneys is also brought about by this same
cause. is it not plain 10 be seen that if
the kidneys are strong and healthy and
throw the uric acid out of the system, it
will not get into the blood and so poison
the muscles and joints and cause rheuma-
tism, or decay the kidneys and cause
Bright's disease.
There has never been but one known
remedy for all troubles of the kidneys, and
that is Warmers Safe Cure. 1t has been
found by the medical profession to be pos
sessed of properties unknown to any dis
covery of modern or ancient times. 1t has
taken men and women too, who were in
the last stages, and restored them to per-
feet health and strength. 1t is endorsed
by physicians, approved by scientists, and
used by the best people in the land. 1t is
a scientific preparation and owes it's popu-
larty wholly to it's power.
1t should be borne in mind, however,
that where there are such serious troubles
as those above mentioned, only strictly
reliable preparation can be used with hope
or safety.
1t will nay you to bear these things in
mind.

DELIBERATE SUICIDE
Of Man Supposed to Be From Los
.f. Angeles
He Spiang From the Wharf at Santa nonica-
The Body Floatei Oat to Sea
and Sank

SANTA MONICA, Feb. IAN unknown
elderly man suicided here this evening
by juml ing from the old wharf at the
foot Of Railroad avenue. Two young
men who discovered the body floating,
made an Intellectual effort to recover it
but it sank when touched.
About 4 o'clock in the afternoon Mar
shal Decker received telephone mes
sage from some unknown party in Los
Angeles to the effect that man had
just left that place for Santa Monica
with the avowed intention of commit
ting suicide by jumping off the big
wharf. He was said to be dressed in a
suit of dark clothes, wa about 43 years
of age and feet 8 inches in height.
It was 6 o'clock by Santa Monica
time when Mr.. Campbell and a friend
who were out on the wharf, saw man
either fall or jump off the wharf into
the water. They Immediately procured
ropes and hurried to his assistance,
but the ropes were too short and the
man made no attempt whatever to
reach them.
Ry the time a boat had been pro-
cured and launched the man had
foated 300 feet out to sea. When the
rescuing party were within a few boat
lengths he quietly sank beneath the
waves. He made no attempt to keep
af1oat until assistance reached him.
After vain effort to recover the body
the search was abandoned.

WAS A LOS ANGELES MAN

He Was an Insurance Solicitor by the Name
Of iardcastIe
The unfortunate man referred to in
the above dispatch is undoubtedly an
insurance solicitor Of this city named
Hardcastle. Yesterday morning FL.
Hawgood, the civil engineer, called at
the police station and asked that a
watch be kept for Hardcastle, who was
described as an EnglishmRn or Scotch
man, aged about 40 years, and who has
been living with his wife at the Toltec,
at the corner of Grand avenue and
Temple street, for some time past. Mr..
Hawgood stated that Hardcastle was
very despondent over his failure to
secure profitable employment, and he
was afraid that he had made away with
himself. After he left home in the morn
ing his wife had found note from him,
telling her how to collect a note for
some $400 or $500 in the east. This had
aroused the wife's suspicious, and she
had started on tour of investigation,
which resulted in the finding of an
other note from him in saloon near
the Arcade depot in which he told his
wife that il he was successful in get
ting what he went after all would be
we'll, but that if he did not, that she
would never see him again, or words to
that effect, and intimating that he
would go to Santa Monica and drown
himself
Mrs. Hardcastls was very much wor-
ried over her husbands strange ac-
tione, but could do nothing except
await developments.
Yesterday afternoon a telephone
message was received in this city stat.
ing that an unknown man had COM
mitted suicide by jumping off the
wharf at Santa Monica, and from the
description there was no doubt but
what Hardcastle was the man.
Late last night a reporter called at
the Toltec, but, the iandiady being out,
nothing wss learned Of Hardcastle and
his wife at that place.. A young man
who answered the call stated that some
one had just told Mrs. Hardcastle of
her husbands suicide, and that she
was in such condition that she could
not see anyone.
It is believed that Hardcastle has
been contemplating suicide for some
days past, and failing to accomplish
what he started out to do, whatever
that was, he deliberately took his own
life as the easiest way out ofhis diff
cuities.
