THE SICK MAN.

We rather think Abdul Hamid OF Tur-
key is Standardization Herald.
The sick man has been at the point of
death several times before.-Boston Globe.
The sick man OF the east continues to
kick at Christian science treatment.-De-
troit News Tribune.
Abdul Hamid' fate is said to hang by
thread. So we heard a yer ngo. 1t is
such a strong thread that rival II,anufGc-

the suffering ArrleuiaEs, it is true, Eus
when it comes to this country's entering
into an offensive and defensive alliance FOR
the purpose of protecting tho British inter
ests In the Dardonellcs that is quite an
other matter.-Chieago Journal.
This perennial jealousy over Turkey is
foolish and wasteful Surely tic sick
man has been propped up loDg enough.
Nothing would he more welcome on this
side of the ocean, ut any rate, than to hear
that the invalid had finally suCcumbed to

So intense is the passionate hatred of the
sultan in England and SO deep the popular
disgust at the tiinid conservatism of the
powers that it seems as If not even the old
bugbear of Russian occupation Of Constan-
tinople would be able again TO save Turk
ish rule in Europe-Buffalo Commercial.
1t is highly fattering to American pridc
to have Great Britain appeal to the United
States as the one power that can, in con
junction with England, settle the Turkish
question, but it is flattcry nevertheless.

Dreadful
Rheumatism.

No disease has puzzled the doctors
so completely as riIeumatism-tha de-
p1orable condition of the blood which
so often renders the strongest man as
helpless as 4 babe. Their mercuLiSl.
and potash remedies may in some
cases imPart temporary relief, brt are
sure to ultimately result in wreckinS
the entire system.
rheumatism is = deep-seated blood
disease and only i real blood remedy
will have any effect whatever upoR
it. Most of the so-caiied blood retne-
dies are at best only tonics and caii-
not reach an obstinate blood trouble.
One of the most frequent symptoms OF
Rheumatism is 4 tingling sensation OF
the parts affected, generally brought
about from 4 lack of free; circulation
of the blood through the very small
blood conductors This trouble is al
ways eliminated by the use of = :. $;
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
Tread disease:
''About FIVE years ago was a great
sufferer from rheumatism. l was
treated by all the leading physicians
