HEALTH COUNCIL UNANIMOUS
Government Organ Replies to State
ments CabIed to the United
states.

BERLIN, April 4-The North German
Gazette, the chief mouthpiece Of the gov
ernment, today replied to the statements
contained in the dispatch Of the Associated
Press yesterday announcing that the Society
for the Protection Of the Interests Of the
German Chemical Industry declared that the
government did not consult the imperial
health council before prohibiting the i'm
port OF meats treated with boracic acid.
The Gazette reasserts that the health coun-
ellis committee on food products voted,
October 2, 1901. for the boracic process
unanimously, with the exception of one
vote. adding that all the medical experts
who participated voted for the prohibition.
Continuing its defense of the statement
that the prohibition of the use OF boracic
acid In preserving meats had been approved
by the imperial health council, the min
istry has published in the North German
Gazette a statement in which 1t explains
that the health council consists OF seventy
members who are experts in the various
branches of science. They are not all
fitted to pass judgment on food questions,
1t is explained, consequently the regulations
concerning the use OF boracic acid were
submitted TO the food committee Of the
council, whose judgment in the matter
must be accepted as an authority equal TO
that OF the entire council.

larly rice, are being brought into the Dan

Of cession free OF duty.
The ports of the islands are free ports
and hence goods landed there are not sub
Iect to customs duties. 1t is pointed out
that after the ratification OF the treaty and
before congress takes action to prevent IT
all goods shipped from the islands to this
country or to Porto Rico must be admitted
duty free. Therefore a shipload OF valuable
Havana tobacco might now be sent to ST,

other nearby United States port after the

Terrible Tortures and Death

Chronic Rheumatism
When Neglected

Paine'S Celery

THE GREAT VANQUISHER OF
ALL FORMS OF RHEUMATISM.
The Marvellous Cure Of Mrs. took of
Gardner, kansas.

Rheumatism, terrible in its acute, and
long enduring in its chronic form. is one
OF the most baneful diseases that human
beings suffer from. 1t Ia a disease that
will not bear neglect, for II not treated
promptly will remain till death to harass,
torture, and make life miserable.
Rheumatism is also a constitutional dis
order and hereditary. Because Of an in
active condition OF the kidneys and bowels
the blood is not purified, and an acrid
poison is formed and deposited in the mus
Giles and joints, and this causes the in
fammation and intense agonies that thou
sands are obliged to endure Too often,
the effects Of rheumatism are fatal, espe-
cially when the dread disease affects the
heart; then death is sudden. Many other
serious complications result from this ter
rible disease. such as pneumonia, pleurisy,
meningitis, and diaphragmitis, and these
often prove rapidly fatal.
Racked and tortured reader. what are
you doing to get rid of your danger?. Ply
sicians candidly admit their inability to
cure. The ordinary medicines of the day
may give you relief for a few hours or
days; they cannot Danish the disease from
your blood, joints, and muscles; they can
not take the swellings from your knees.
elbows. or wrists, or make supple the stiff
fened and twisted limbs. You cannot
longer afford to experiment; death is the
sure result Of experiment and neglect.
Today, your only hope lies in the i'm

quisher Of rheumatism, neuralgia, and
other troubles that arise from impure and
poisoned blood, is now fully recognized by
the medical profession as a positive and
unfailing cure. The following importan,
letter sent by Mrs. Cook is but one Of the
many thousands received from prominent
and well known people In every state OF the
Union, who have been cured by Paine.s
Celery Compound. Mrs. Cook says:
Il was sorely AFFLICTED with rheumatism
some time ago, so much so that | was un-
able to 90 about the house; / had to be

and iniment to no effect. For months I
was helpless, unable to turn myself in bed,
and suffering with pain which was almost
uncomfortable. Finally, by chance, l no

Compound and concluded to try 1t. After
using one bottle 1t seemed to be helping
me. and I continued to use 1t until had
