Remedies.

| Sufferers from the varied forms of
! rheumatism - articular, muscular,
infiammatory, lumbago and govt,
should bear in mind that there is
morbid principle in the blood when
rheumatism lis present. This morbid
principle is uric acid, which circu-
1ates with the blood and acts upon
the joints and muscles, causing the
pains ard agonies of rheumatism.
Paine's Celery Compound is the
only scientific remedy for the perma-
nent Punishment of every form of
rheumatism. If your joints are pain
fHl; If the knees, wrists, elbows, or
ankles are swollen, few bottles of
Paine's Celery Compound will soon
remove all your troubles and pains.
If you have infiammatory or seiatic
rheumatism accompanied with fever,
acute, darling pains in the sciatic
nerve from the hip down the leg,
Paine's Celery Compound taken at
once will soon drive out the disease
and make you strong and active.
AT this particular time when rheu-
matism frequently lays the founda-
ton for other incurable and grave
troubles, we specially urge the
honest use of at least one bottle of
DIR. Phelps life giving medicine,
Pafne's Celery Compound. Ne ease

sing its praises and continually rec

HOW Hicks saved the Crops.

4 farmer out in Renville whose name
was Grandpa Dix
Had never dared ter plant his corn with
out eonsultin' Hicks.
Now Hicks lived in Mzzoury and he had
a kind o. knaek
Of maxim up the climate in a samed old
almanac.
Whenever it came winter and the winds
began ter blow
or Hicks came ont hotfooted an pre-
dicted that 'twonld snow.
And along in Janooary his advise was
free and bold
About this time Of year look out for
long continued cold"
And when the cold began TO break and
spring showed up bit
or Hicks said Spring s coming and he
always made a hit.
Now Grandpa Dix he had a way, when
ever Hicks said spring,
OF hustlin' out upon The land and he
never did a thing
But plant his corn and SOW his wheat,
likewise his garden sass,
Because whatever Hicks had said was
sure to come ter pass.
One year about the fust OF March the
almanac said warm
Whea the blame OF goN'ment weather
sharp predicted serious storm,
But Grandpa Dix he belt his ground and
planted all his stuff,
Yet notwithstanding Hicks graft the
storm came sure enough.
But every pes<y Hessian fly, eineh bug
and like Of those
Air yarmints that eat up the stuff was
very badly froze.
Which simply showed that Hicks was
right, 50 argued Grandpa Dix,
Because eff they had not ben killed craps
would ben 10 a fS."
So while his seed was frozen stiff grand
pa was still elate
Old Hicks had brought the insects out
an really saved the State.
