New York, Dec. 4.-In dry goods the
week closes with a good outlook for the
rest of the year. The sales of the week
Sellers were of the belief that the reduc-
tons in prints would result in extensive
sales. both by mail order and in store
to take matters slowly at present. Mean
while the trade in spring goods, in cotton
printed lines. is very fair. In staple cot
the week in all grades. and. while there has
been no announced change in prices. there
have been many concessions made. in order
during the week. Print cloths show light
trading, but not as light as was expected
earlier in the week. The recent reduction
of "a square extras to 2Ae has resulted in
a renewal of interest on the part of buy
ers, and sellers have been as liberal as
could be expected at the price.

Dreadful
Rheumatism,

No disease has puzzled the doctors
SO completely as rheumatism-that de-
Plorable condition of the blood which
SO often renders the strongest man as
helpless as babe. Their mercurial
and potash remedies may in some
cases impart temporary relief, but are
sure to ultimately result in wrecking
the entire system.
Rheumatism is deep-seated blood
disease and only real blood remedy
will have any effect whatever upon
1t. Most of the so-ca1led blood RENE
dies are at best only tonics and cam
not reach an obstinate blood trouble.
One of the most frequent symptoms of
Rheumatism is a tingling 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 al
ways eliminated by the use of S. S. s.;
it thins the blood, gives it free and
forcible circulation, destroys the pois-
onous microbes and restores the circu-
lation to it's 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. l was
treated by all the leading physicians
