Rheumatic pains are the cries of protest
and distress from tortured muscles, aching
joints and excited nerves. The blood has
been poisoned by the accumulation OF
waste matter IN the system, and can no
longer supply the pure and health sustain
ing food they require. The whole system,
feels the effect of this acid poison and
not until the blood has been purified and
brought back to healthy condition will
the aches and pains cease.

Not So Bad.

John James, an experienced and
reliable threshing engine engineer, Wis
tied the scene of the boiler explosion
near Ocheydan, Thursday. ..
From him we learn that the boiler
did not go to pieces as supposed but
the stay bolts gave way, but, that was
serious enough to cause the fatality
previously mentioned
The stay bolts drawing caused q
cog wheel of the traction gear to
break piece of which flew and caus-
ed the death of the engineer. Coal
that was in box between rear of en-.
gine and front of separator was blown
back with such force as to go through
boards of the machine and a chunk
was broken out of a. pulley on the
separator by a piece of coal.
The engine was from Minnesota
and was inspected last year by in
spector going to the engine while it
was running and making no test as
Leg uired by law. There appears to
TO be something decidedly rotten in
in the boiler inspection department,
the principal object appears to simply
the fees without regard to condition
of engine. The damaged engine can
be repaired and can now be handled
by teams.
