the detection of errorsIby the bureau.

error IN the contracts the attorney is no.

Dreadful
Rheumatism,

No disease has puzzled the doctors SO completely
as rheumatism-that depiorable condition of the
blood which 30 often renders the strongest man as
helpless a babe. Their mercurial and potash
remedies may in some cases impart temporary re-
lief, but to ultimately result in wrecklng
the entire system.
rheumatism is n Deep seated blood disease and
only real blood remedy will have any effect what
ever upon 1t. Most of the sO-called blood remedies
are ut best only toncs and cannot reach an obsti-
nate blood trouble. One of the most frequent symp-
toms Of rheumatism is a tingliEg sensation Of the
parts affected. generally brought about from lack
Of free circulation Of the blood through the very
small blood conductors. This trouble Is always
eliminated by the use Of 8. 8. s.: 1t thins the
blood gives 1t free and forcible circulation de-
stroys the poisonous microbes and restores the cir
culatOn to its normal condition.
Mr.. Robert H. King, prominent and influential
citizen OF West Point, Va, writes Of his experience
with this dread disease:
about five years ago was a great sufferer from
rheumatism. was treated by all the leading ply
sicians in the state but without relief. In fact,
