services. A stretcher was brought, and
four OF them started, but had gone only

any county. Five road commissioners
are elected, none Of whom can in any

may be entered into by the board. They
have full power to lay out county roads;
to change the width, direction or loca-
tion Of existing ones; purchase property;
unite with adjacent counties i'll laying
out and maintaining roads; adopt any
road as Il county road, except that in i'll
corporatcd villages the consent of the
village must be obtained. They can
grade, drain, gravel, macadamiZe or inn
prove i'll any way according to their
Judgment; construct and maintain cul-
verts and bridges, but can contract no
Indebtedness i'll excess of the amount at
their disposal in the hands of the county

and in the two years following nearly
100 miles Of road were improved and

A Purely Vegetable Blood Remedy Is the Only
 Cure.

If the people generally knew the true cause of Rheumatism, there would be no such thing as lipl- ments and lotions for this painful and disabling disease. The fact is, Rheumatism is disordered state of the blood-it can be reached, therefore, only through the blood. But all blood remedies can not cure Rheumatism, for it is an obstinate disease, one which requires a real blood remedy-something more than n mere tonic. 6wift's Specific is the only real blood remedy, and 1t promptly goes to the very bottom of even the most obstinate case.
 A few years ago was taken with in- fiammatory Rheumatism, which, though mild at first, became gradually so in- tense that I was for weeks unable to walk. tried several prominent physf- cians and took their treatment faith- fully. but was unable to get the slightest relief In fact, my condition seemed to grow worse, the pains spread over my entire body, and from November te March I suffered agony. l tried many patent medicines, but none relieved me Upon the advice of friend decided tt try s. s. s.
