The Right Remedy Will
Danish 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-
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.

real blood remedy. Swift's Specific Is.

all diseases of the blood. and promptly

A Most Singular Thing.

II ia a singular fact, but none the less
true. that people who are sick or out oil
health and arc taking treatment from
doctors. do not know exactly what Is
the matter with them one doctor says
one thing and another doctor says some
thing else. Meanwhile they DO not get
well. Now. why Is this? Simply that
such persons have not consulted the
right doctor have not consulted great
specialist who. because he makes a spe-
cialty OF the treatment and cure Of
chronic and lingering diseases. and be
cause OF his vast experience In treat
ing the class OF diseases like your COM
plant. knows just precisely what ails
YOU from your symptoms. and moreover
has from his great experience the exact
knowledge Of what medicines your case
requires 10 be cured. For instance. the
famous Or. Greene, of IS West 18th St,
New York City. who stands az the head
of specialists I'm nervous and chronic dis
eases. has cured thousands OF cases like
yours He. therefore, will perfectly un-
derstand your disease. and If you con-
suit him. either personally or by letter.
he viii tell YOU or write YOU exactly
what your complaint Is. Although Or.
Greene has the largest practice I'm this
country. ne gives everybody the priyi-
lccc OF consultation with him. free Of
charge. and n you will write him about
your case. YOU will receive without cost
70 YOU. the best medical advice and
counsel about your complaint which
advice n followed viii lead to your cure.
Or. Greene's system of treatment by
harmless vegetable medicines is the won
der Of medical science. one Of his grand
discoveries. Dr. Greene's Nervura blood
and nerve remedy. is known and used
all over the world. and he has equally
marvellous remedies for various COM
plants You want 10 know what your
trouble is why not write 10 the Doctor
and find out.

HAMLIN, w. Va, August 9.-Last
evening a horrible tragedy occurred at
Four Mile Ridge, near the line be-
tween Lincoln and Wayne counties.
For a year past Levi Ramey and
Sherman Smith have been rivals, both
seeking the hand of a country belle,
who resided in that locality.
Sunday night the young woman gave
Smith the marble heart" and he
swore vengeance on his rival.
Last evening they met.
But few words passed until they
were engaged in combat, which ended
in Ramey being shot through the
heart. Smith is yet at large.
Both young men are sons of well-to-
do parents, and were well liked in the
community.
The young woman in the case is
wild with grief over the sad occur
renee, and she is under constant watch
to prevent her taking her own life.
The tragedy has stirred up the Four
Mile community and a posse left this
morning on a search for the murdered.
1t is believed that he is headed to-
ward Gallia county, Ohio, as he has
many relatives living there.
