The Right Remedy Will
Danish It Forever.

If you would forever be rid OF
ihe aches and pains, and some
times the tortures produced by
rheumatism. you must take the
right remedy. Those who con-
tinue to suffer are relying upon
remedies which do not reach their
trouble. The doctors treatment
always consists of potash and
mercury, which only intensity the
disease, causing the joints TO stiff
en- and the bones to ache. besides
seriously impairing the digestive
organs.
Rheumatism is disordered state of
the blood, and the only cure for il ia n
real blood remedy. Swift's Specific rs

SUBSTITUTE TURTLES.
Inferior Kinds Are BEING Supplied
en- Place of the disappearing
Diamond Back.

With the passing Of the diamond
back terrapin from local waters and
its general scarcity, says a Chester
town (Md) correspondent Of the Bal
timore Sun, the business of developing
"sliders" and 'red belly" terrapins has
begun In the waters Of Kent county.
These terrapins are now In winter
quarters by the thousands in marshes,
and are In their best condition. The
slider" often attains extremely large
proportions, weighing as much as 20
pounds or over. The red belly" is a
smaller species. The larger variety
sometimes sells as high as 81 so apiece,
though the average price is from IS
cents to sl.5O. The smaller variety
sells for from rs cents to $3.50 per
dozen.
These terrapins bury in the mud
from three to five feet deep, and are
'ound by sounding with a stick and
pulled out with a hook. The female,
before she deposits her eggs, is most
sought after, as the numerous eggs
add greatly to the richness of the pre-
pared dish. The female terrapin de-
Posits her eggs. ranging from 25 to 30
in number, in the sandy fields near by
her bedding grounds She goes out
at night. makes hole with her head
large enough to hold the eggs, and then
proceeds to lay. The eggs are then
covered with sand and packed. ard the
terrapin seeks the water before the
sun becomes too hot.
