WATCHING THE FlLIBUSTERS.
Three Suspected Vessels Now Bell
Loaded at Pensacola.

Three Suspected Vessels Now Being
Loaded at Pensacola.
PENSACOLA, Dec. 21.-There was
considerable activity on board the Unit
ed States steamer Montgomery yester-
day, owing to information having
reached her commander to the effect
that several suspected flibusters were
in the harbor All the boats of the
Montgomery have orders to fire two
blank charges to bring toany suspected
vessel, and upon her neglecting to stop,
a third shot, this time loaded shell, is
to be fired. The Somers N. Smith, a
pilot boat a vessel called the Brittania
and schooner are loading here under
official supervision. The Smith is said
to have run several successful expedi-
tions in the past. The Montgomery in
tends to follow her as soon as she gets
under way The Brittania and the
schooner have also been taking cargo
of boxes, supposed to Ee ammunition,
etc, on board, and it is reported that the
Dauntless is waiting somewhere outside
the bar in order to ship the muni-
tions at sea. 1t will thus be seen that
a well organized expedition to Cuba is
apparently being equipped here.

seems that the main point was the estab.

WHAT Is RHEUMATISM 4?
More Prevalent than for
Many Years.
Sudden Changes of Temperature an
Immediate Cause.
A Dartmouth Professor Finds an
Unfailing Cure for the
Ailment.

Rheumatism is more prevalent in Montpelier
than for many years.
When this disease fastens on an individual,
he generally knows what is the trouble. The
inflammation, soreness, and pain, in combina-
ton with chills, coated tongue, loss of appe-
tite and swelling of the joints tell plainly that
this is rheumatism.
To quote the Medical World, ''the patient
becomes pitiable object of suffering, helpless
and incapable of movement and possibly an
eventual martyr to a chronic state of the
disease, which will SKATER his usefulness,
though it spares his life. Perhaps, though,
the heart and its belongings are fatally involv-
ed, as not frequently happens"
But what is rheumatism?
Physicians opinions vary Some say one
thing and some another. Yet all agree that a
poison gets into the system and rheumatism
results.
The immediate causes are cold and moisture,
and sudden changes of temperature, acting
upon those who are weak or specially disposed
to the disease. 1t should be regarded as a
warning indication of low state of health
and the first twnge of pain or stiffness of the
muscles ought to be carefully placed under
treatment.
Rheumatism can be relieved by Paine.
celery compound, a purely vegetable extract
whose efficacy in rheumatism was discovered
by Prof. Phelps of Dartmouth. This com
pound strengthens the system, restores vigorous
nerve power, and regulates the circulation
thus driving out the rheumatic poison.
The best proof of its value is the good it has
done. Though known for comparatively
short time, there probably is not city OF towr
in this state where it has not effected cure
That it is all that it is claimed for it, is being
daily demonstrated. Many have thrown ava,
their crutches, and now walk briskly and erect
without pain or suffering, solely through thu
use of this celery compound.
All lovers of the good of humanity will re
joice that at last there is positive and reliabl,
way to cure rheumatism and relieve suffering
What reason then has one for suffering will
