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 a
mere pang, and cause little inconven.
fence, but if the warning is UNDECIDED,
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 disease of the blood of the
most obstinate type, Rheumatism can
be cured only by a real blood remedy.
No liniments or ointments can possibly
reach the disease. Swift's Specific
Is. S. S. 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.

cat first paid very little attention to
the little pains, but they became so
much sharper and more frequent that

THERE Is still left that feeling of in
tense partisanship which can see no good
in the opposition. To announce this fact
has grown to be a sort of perfu1ctory
duty and there are a number of small
papers which think their duty lies IN
making jabs at Cleveland. What is more
surprising is, that newspapers which
know better are disposed to abet this
species of small partlsanship by quoting
the petty comments. The best cure for
puerillty is to completely ignore it. 1t
cannot stand neglect as it poses to at
tract attention. The paper which quotes
infantible partisanship utterance, be-
comes spopsor for it.
