JUST Al THIS VERY TIME
When People Are Suffering From Rheun1-
atisnn, Neuralgia and Colds, They
Need to Know Of Discovery, The
Fame Of Which is s'WorId-Vvide.''

More men, women and even little
children have been suffering with
rheumatism and neuralgia the present
year than ever before. Statistics from
all over the country show this-doctors'
reports prove it. Possibly the unusual
weather has had something to do with
it. but there is one great reason back
of ii all. The great cause of rheuma-
tiSm and neuralgia, or even muscular
cold, is because there is uric acid in
the blood. This uric acid should be
thrown out of the system, and can be
if the kidneys are only in a strong and
healthy condition; but, being weaned,
these great organs are not able to
throw the uric acid from the system,
and so ii gets into the blood, poisons
the blood, settles around the joints,
iniiames the muscles, and causes what
we call rheumatism and neuralgia.
Is this not clear? Can you not read
lily see that there is only one way to
cure these troubles, and that is by
keeping the kidneys in a strong and
healthy condition? If they are kept
strong and well, and drive the uric acid
from the blood, there will be no more
rheumatism or neuralgia.
In every quarter of the globe, includ-
ing India, Africa and Australia. it is
acknowledged that there is but one dis
covery which can or ever does fight
the battle against uric acid. and drive
it from the body. That discovery is
known universally throughout the
world as Warmers Safe Cure.
In writing upon this subject, Mr..
William Edward Rosbon, surgeon of
the royal navy of England, said:
Il conscientiously and emphatically
state that 1 have been able to give
more relief and effect more cures by
the use of Warmers Safe Cure, than
by all other medicines in the British
pharmacopoeia.
DR.. N. Dyer of Wurtzburg. Germany.
said:
Il have prescribed Warmers Safe
Cure constantly to those suffering from
kidney or liver diseases, and especially
rheumatism and neuralgia. In some
instances where the case seemed hope
less, L have seen the sufferer restored
to complete healthy, greatly to my
surprise and qualification, and 1 con-
stantly recommend it in all circles of
my acquaintance"

Straddler Hill Trying to Break Into

A New York dispatch of the 18th
says: David B. Hill proposes to OPP
pose Richard Croker for the control of
the state and in the election of the
next governor of New York He pro-
poses to regain the leadership of the
regular Democrats, Of the Chicago
platform Democrats. of the silver DEM

and abrpt announcement that he him
self is and was in 1886. a loyal Demo-
crat. he hopes to cover Croker with
confusion. This plan was disclosed
yesterday, with his sanction. by his
confidential friends and advisers. No
bigger stone has been thrown into the
frog pond of state politics for many
months.
The author of the cry, Il am Dem
Ocrat," says in effect:
L am Democrat still. am no de-
serter. no traitor. no gold bug. 1 stood
by the Chicago platform at the polls
and 1 stand for the regular Democracy
now, against those who abandoned the
cause in 1896"
More specifically and more signifi-
cantly, Hill says to the Democrats of
the state:
Your candidates for governor and
United States senator must be men
who fought for the Chicago platform.

Il have used Warmers Safe Cure on
many occasions. being subjected to
complaints which caused depression of
spirits, and the use of this wonderful
discovery has been invariably attended
with the most satisfactory results
Jai Jai, Ram Missur. a prominent
railroad man of India, says:
Il was attacked by the fatal dis
ease dropsv as a result of rheumatic
troubles. Ny whole body was filed
with water and my kidneys refused to
work. 1 tried various remedies and
sEillful surgeons in vain. At last !
was told TO prepare for death. 1 be-
gan the use of Warmers Safe Cure,
and it affected a complete cure for
which I cannot be too grateful"
The list of names of American men
and women who have been cured by
the use Of this wonderful discovery
extends into the hundreds of thou
sands. Many of them are very proml-
nent in legislative. professional and
social circles. Their names alone
would more than fill this paper. Many
of them have been enduring pain, have
had swollen joints, headaches, unac-
countable lansuor, dull, and indefinite
pains in various parts of the BODY:
have been restless. sleeDless. and de-
pressed; have had lack of appetite,
lack of energy and lack of all ambition;
but they are today in the enjoyment
of perfect health. A few names of
those who cordially recommended Safe
Cure are Bishop Wilson, Mr.. Jesse
Larrabee. DR.. Gum. Mrs. Annie
Jenness Miller, DR.. Woodbury., Mrs.
Willard and Rev. Dr. Rankin
In addition thereto. this great dis
cOvery has been scientifically analysed
by Prof. S. A. LattemOre, one of the
leading chemists of America, and
Analyst of Food and Medicines for the
New York State Board of Health, who
has investigated the process of man
ufacture, and unhesitatingly SAYS that
1T is conducted with extreme care
according to the best methods. and
that Safe Cure is free from all poison
Gus and deleterious substances"
The facsimile of the package is
given herewith. It has become a
synonym for good health the world
over, and gives. what no other remedy
can give-freedom from disease and
the blessings of life which good health
always cOnfers.

That afternoon Noreen carried to the
