The Right Remedy Will
Ban;@h it Forever.

If you would forever be rid of
the aches and pains, and some
times the fortunes produced by
Rheumatism, you must take the
right remedy. Those who con-
tihue 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 it is n
real blood remedy. Swift's Specific Is.
s. s.. goes down to the very bottom of
all diseases of the blood, and promptly
cures cases that other remedies can not
reach.

nent attorney Of Mt. Sterling, Ky,
writes:

concerned, will relieve Mr.. Newton of
his duties at Warwick Courthouse but
