Helpless
Rlleu1QatiCS!

Rheumatism is no respecter of per-
sons-the healthy and vigorous are
as liable to its attacks as the weak.
The symptoms of the disease are
almost unnoticed at first, so insidi-
ously do they steal over the body;
gradually the little pains and stiffness
increase, until they develop greater
inconvenience day by day.
The knees, ankles, and other joints
of the body ache constantly, swell
ing to several times their natural
size; the patient finds himself unable
to get around; is soon incapacitated
for business, and later is confined to
his bed, utterly helpless.
1t is great mistake to expect relief
from such condition by the applica-
ton of 1iniments and other external
remedies. The medical profession ad-
NIT that the disease is in the blood,
and it is but reasonable that only a
blood remedy, one purely vegetable,
and free from potash, can afford re-
lief. S. S. S. (Swift's Specitic) is an
unfailing remedy for rheumatism,
and has cured the severest cases,
where other remedies failed to reach
the disease

TO Protect, Dentists.

To THE HONORABLE SENATORS AND REP
RESENTATIvEs OF SOUTH DAKOTA:
DEAR SIRs:-We, the citizens OF South
Dakota, and your constituents, do here.
by pray your honorable body to enact a
law by which we, as citizens, may be
protected from the imposition OF incom-
petent dentists and the wholesale des-
truction Of valuable teeth. and prevent,
as far as possible, the imposition of
itinerate and the so-called painless
quack, who care for nothing except to
rob our citizens OF their money and give
but little or nothing in return, aside
from dearly bought experience. Our
citizens are lured into the belief by their
flashing hand bills and circulars that
they are experts, when the truth Of it is,
they are not and we discover our mis-
take when it ia too late. Frequently
these men are driven from other states
by the existing laws that tend to regu-
late the practice of dentistry of which VIC
have none. These men have no regular
place of business, consequently they are
not reliable, thus destroying the conf
dence Of repu table and worthy citizens
aud degrading dentistry. An attempt
to pass such an enactment by our COM
petent dentists in the past has proven
fruitless, and in view Of this fact, many
of our best dentists have moved to othtr
lcf, 1p1,nrn fhnv rn ,rof
Therefore we urge upon you the necest
sity of such an enactment. and trust tina
| you will render the necessary assistance
and aid in the passing Of some measure
by which we may be able to correct the
existing evil as in other departments of
life. Almost every state in the union =
excepting South Dakota-has law
regulating the practice OF dentistry. 1t
is true, bill was passed March 10, 1885
and known as the Territorial Law, but
it has little or no effect. We should moi
only protect our citizens who are com.
PEELED 10 p1triG.;z tho dentist, but we
should protect our worthy dentists who
are complying viii the meager law Of
1885. This law offers but little or NJ
means of enforcement. And at present
there are not to exceed three members
OF the examining board in South Dakota
they having given up in dispair in view
Of the fact that each and every attemp
at passing an enactment has proven
fruitless. The doctor, druggist, lawyer
school teacher, minister and all are pro
tected, yet none are more needrul thar
an act to regulate the practice of DENTS
try. We are forced TO patronize tn
dentist, and to subject ourselves to thei
mercy and we are frequently compelle'
to submit to anaesthetics that endange
our lives, therefore it is hoped, and ex
pected Of you to rescuo us. Will yo
comply?

very little money may 60 a great
ways with most Of the newspapers very
likely, but we can't help but think,
nevertheless. that the value Of the patron
age from the state auditors office is very
much overestimated. This bit of pie
has been very materially reduced during
the past four years. Where once a news
paper in the deal received hundred or
two dollars worth OF the insurance state
ments it now catches maybe only SIS or
$50. This won't make anyone very
rich. 1t follows therefore that If the
Office Of insurance commissioner is to be
created for the sole purpose Of taking
the publication Of the insurance state
ment out Of the auditors office, the game
is hardly worth the emile.
