Is going down daily in the battle
with its only formidable enemy
RHEUMAC1DE-the great consti-
tutional cure. The percentage of
cures is extraordinary.
The doctors, ever ready 10 recog-
nize merit in new discoveries, are
now prescribing RHEUMACIDE.
A prominent physician in Charlotte,
N. c., has adopted this remedy in
his practice and prescribes nothing
else for rheumatism. Other well
known physicians are doing the same
OF course they have been given
enough of the formula to enable
them to decide that it is all that the
proprietor claims, and that it is a
scientific compound, for doctors are
the last people to prescribe RENE
dy manufactured by irresponsible
firms, and without knowing some
thing of the ingredients.
RHEUMACIDE is sold by nearly all
druggists. PRICE: $1.00 per bot
tie; six for $500.

Apropos of the large mortality by the
inhalation of illuminating gas, it is inter
esting to note that the medical societies
of Pennsylvania are giving their atten-
ton to substitute for the galloWs. They
have concluded that the most humane
method Of extinguishing the life of the
criminal sentenced to death is by the use
Of gas, and they propose to present a
bill to the Legislature this winter provid-
ing for the change.

The account of expenses given to Con-
gross for ex- Speaker Crisp's funeral is the
smallest rendered in recent years, being
5000 as compared with an average OF
about SO. 600 for the burial of a member of
Congress. Mr.. Crisp left little or no prop
erty, and the House committee on ac-
accounts has voted to report resolution
paying the expenses Of his last sickness.
