RHEUMATISM

Rubbing with liniments, blistering, the ap.

will produce counter-irritation is good for

and relief is therefore only temporary.
Rheumatism is due to Uric Acid and
other irritant poisors in the blood, and
as it circulates through the system, these
acid noisons are deposited in the muscles.

Washington, March 5.-The United

Teller (Colo).
The oath was administered to ten
new senators, although one, Mr.. Cor

the senate.
The new senators are:

The senate being a continuous body
It's officers hold until their successors
are chosen, promptly at noon the body

Washington, March 5.-President

message to the senate
ITO the Senate: l have called the
