Rheumatism Cannot be Cured.
Leading Physicians Everywhere Have


Medical Company, Pittsburgh, Pa. A
complete treatment will be mailed,
postage paid, on receipt of One dollar,
and so confident is the doctor that his
remedy will do everything that he
claims it will do-a confidence born
of experience, observation, and results
of years of demonstration in cases con-
sidered incurable that the company will
refund the price paid in every case
where DR.. Clark's Rheumatic Remedy
fails to give the desired relief Or
diniarily cases cured in a few days;
chronic cases require longer but in
every instance a permanent cure is
absolutely guaranteed. Medical ad-
. vice, and where necessary, a special
icOurSe of treatment indicated, furnished
any of our readers who will write the
Clark Medical Co., Pittsburgh, Pa, CIV
ing their symptoms and short history
of the disease. AS this service is free
no one afflicted with Rheumatism can
afford to ignore such a generous offer.

OF the time Of the court, and It is i'm
portant both to the State and defend

some verdict. The jury Should agree
on a verdict. No juror from mere pride
OF opinion hastily formed or expressed
