Just a
Little Pain.

The first touch of Rheumatism is a
fair warning of much torture to follow.
The little pains which dart through the
body are not so severe at first, possibly
mere pang, and cause little inconven-
fence, but If the warning is unheeded,
they will multiply rapidly and increase
in severity until they become almost
unbearable.
Rheumatism as rule is much severer
in winter, though many are SO afflicted
with it that they are crippled all the
year round. Those who felt its first
touch last year, may be sure that with
the first season of cold or disagreeable
weather, the mild pain of last year will
return as a severe one, and become more
and more intense until the disease has
them completely in its grasp.
Being a disease of the blood of the
most obstinate type, Rheumatism can
be cured only by real blood remedy.
No 1iniments or ointments can possibly
reach the disease. Swift's Specific
(S. S. So is the only cure for Rheuma-
tism, because it is the only blood remedy
that goes down to the very bottom of all
obstinate blood troubles, and cures cases
which other remedies cannot reach.

IF T1Tz SHOULD FIGHT JOHN L.
A Guess at the Phases That an En-
counter Would Assume

"Od" John l.. against Young" Bob
Fitzsimmons! Should four years differ
ence In the time each has been on earth
cause so much disparity in the qualifi-
cation Of the two? For John Lawrence
Sullivan was born In Boston October 15,
1858. and Robert Fitzsimmons saw tho
light in Cornwall June 4, 1862. Yet one
is considered the exponent Of an "old''
and obsolete style of fighting and the
man who brought the conqueror Of Sulli-
van to his knees the representative of
the new" type.
There was something about that "old"
style Of fighting that impressed men
with more terror and made them fight
harder when face to face. There was
little Of that thit-and-get-away style, and
each expected to take as well as give in
the shock and shower of blows.
How would Sullivan fight Fitzsim-
mons and "Fitz" battle against the
doughty John L." assuming both to
be in condition?
"Fitz" would be even more wary than
with Corbett. Sullivan would batter
against the Cornishman as incessantly
as the waves beat upon the cliffs at the
latter's birthplace.
There would be little dancing and
backing and sidestepping about the WORK

part of the play, and would seek to get

strokes, who keeps close to his man and

with an arm rigid as bar of steel, fist
in perfect alignment with the elbow
and knuckles squared. 1t swept in a
pendulum-like swing. and If it glanced
upon Its mark, sometimes came back in

the original force. 1t rarely missed.
Fitzsimmons Is a more accomplished
artist at administering the soporifie

education in the art of the knockout has

Should these two get together, Sulli-
vans superior weight and power must
be considered factor in the battle, and
with 1t the ability Of John L." to make
use Of those two advantages. His reach
Is not so great. 1t is true, but the first
champion has husky, busting style
that discounts reach and would keep
his adversary mostly at short range.
He is a great infghter, and assuming
that Siler's Interpretation Of the rules
