RHEUMATISM
a Blood Trouble
That Vinoi Cures.

We do not want to frighten any of our
friends who suffer from rheuWatism, tJ:t
we do think it our duty to remind them
of the fact that there is ? great deal Of
danger connected with this trouble, even
in cases that are mild.
rheumatism, as most sufferers from it
know, is due to an excess of uric acid in
the blood. This acid is deadly poison.
1t settles in various joints, producing
inflammation and irritation that gives
rise to the most excrEci2t.ng agony.
So much for the suffering that comes
from the disease, but do not forget that
this same poison circulating through the
blood is very apt To, sooner or later,
reach your heart. When this takes place
death enSues instantly.
Our VinoI will in many instances en-
tirely cure this disease. 1t does it by
purifying the blood, by tonin% mp the
entire system, by giving strength to those
organs of the body whose duty it IS to
expel existing poisons, and by replacing
in the blood life giving properties in place
of the deadly uric acid that has been
expelled. These properties are obtained
for the blood by enabling the stomach to
get for itself the clements it needs from
the food eaten.
This letter which we print below, comes
from Mr.. Robert j. Walker, of Easton,
Ind.

Our own personal knowledge of what

A PERTINENT SUGGESTION.

The Republican papers in the State
these days are filled with TRADES Of
abuse of the Democratic party because,
as they allege it has DISTINGUISHED some
true? If man can be said TO be dis
franchised because he is required to pay
his poll-1tax before voting, then half the
States in the American Union disfran-
chise white men. But it is not true that
the Democrats have DISTINGUISHED any
white man in North Carolina, because
the grandfather clause" specially pro-
tects them from disfranchsement. Dis
cussing the matter. the Chatham Record
makes these pertinent observations:
For many years past the law of this
State has required the County Commits
sioners. in drawing jurors. to select the
names of such persons ONLY as have
paid tax for the preceding year That
is, men are not eligible-are disfran-
chised-tO serve as jurors who have not
paid their tax. We have never heard any
body complain of this law, nor has any
political party ever attempted to re-
peal it. $685.
Now if this law is ali right. and
nobody complains of it. why should there
be any complaint against the law re-
quirng the payment of poll tax as pre-
requisite for voting? If a man is re-
CURED to pay his tax before he can serve
as juror in trying some petty case, why
should not the payment of tax be re-
quired before a man can exercise the
greatest privilege of a freeman in voting
for the officers who govern us?
Had you thought of this? -'"
And it is all a mistake TO say the
law DISTINGUISHES i man because he does
not pay his tax. The law does not dis
franchise him, but he disfranchises him
self, just as he DISTINGUISHES himself as
juror by not paying his tax.
The law requires a voter to register
before voting and if a man is deprived
of voting because he fails to register. he
DISTINGUISHES himself just as he does if
he fails TO pay his tax. and that is all
there is in this so-caled DISTINGUISHING
of voters"
