Lost His
Rheumatism
BY the use of a bottle of
St. Jacobs Oil.

SERGEANT JEREMIAH MAHER, Of Ard
cath, Royal Irish Constabulary, says: My
friend, Mr.. Thomas Hand, has been great
sufferer from rheumatism in the back and
joints for the last four years, during which
time he has employed many different
methods Of treatment, but obtained no relief
whatever. and for the last two years has
been unable TO walk without stick. and
sometimes two sticks, and was in great pain
constantly. ! induced him to procure
bottle of St. Jacobs Oil. which he applied
with the most astonishing and marvellous
effects. Before he had finished using the
contents of the first bottle he could walk
readily without the aid o. stick, and after
few applications from the second bottle he
was free from pain. and has been ever since;
and although fifty years of age and farmer.
he can walk and work without experiencing
any pain or difficulty whatever"

poni, Pope Leo's private physician,
was seen going toward His Holiness's
apartments with a large microscope in
one hand and a case containing sew
eral vials and surgical instruments in
the other. The umo spread thai the
Pope had suddenly become suddenly
Ill. but soon the truth became known.
Pope Leo has long taken much in
terest in the progress of modern med
icine, and DIR. Lapponi's object was to
show him specimens of the various
microbes which have been discovered
during recent years and to explain to
him the exact name in which each
of them affects human beings.
The germs of typhus, tuberculosis,
d%iphtheria. anthrax and other mala-
dies were carefully examined through
the microscope by the Pope who asked
many questions. especially as to the
amer in which the germs find their
way into human bodies and as to the
methods which nave been devised for
destroying them.

ANY NUMBER oFANrl.FArpEopL,

The anti-flesh people are mighty
scarce. When it comes to losing good
solid flesh from any cause there is a
general protest. Losing flesh means
weakness, nervousness, lack Of ambi-
ton, loss of confidence, and a pale, sal
low, or yellow complexion. Then comes
sickness with the pain and misery. as
well al the worry of expense and doc
tor bills. Persons who realize that they
are losing flesh would dc well to act
in time, SO as to avoid the coming
weakness. The food they eat wants to
be turned into strong, rich blood. this
makes solid flesh and muscle and the
best medicine for this is DR.. Gums
Blood and Nerve Tonic, to tablet to take
after meals. People who have used
this Tonic tell us that they have gained
from ! to 3 lbs. per week. of good solid
flesh and of course constantly gained
in health and strength. This Tonic is
sold by all druggists for Is cts. per
box, or 3 boxes for $500. or sent post
paid on receipt of price. Write us
about any weakness you may have;
perhaps the advice we give you may be
all you need, this costs you nothing.

LEASED LANDS IN COLORADO.

Csttlemen Of Wyoming have aso
to congratulate themselves that they
not inhabitants of the Centennial
state. The minimum price for leased
lands there is i've cents per acre for
lands with no water; eight cents for
lands with water, and thirty cents for
agricultural lands.
There is one system they have adopt.
ed in Colorado which should be intro
duced in Wyoming. 1t is required
there that public notice shall be given
before leases are made. In this way
parties arc prevented from obtaining
a leaseheld to lands in the vicinity OF
