PROSPEROUS PRESCOTT.

One to look at the long string of
loaded freight cars and the tons of
freight piled up on the platform at
the depot would not think that bust
ness was very dull in this section.
Freight Agent West informed the
Journal-Miner today that october was
the largest month the railroad has had
during the past year, and is very near
ly a record breaker for the road. there
being only one or two months in the
history of the road where the amount
of business handled was greater than
for the month of October just past.
The side tracks were all filed with
loaded cars today, and five care had to
be set in on the oil track to allow the
trains to pass through the city. This
certainly looks good for the merchants
of Prescott and the general business
of the county.-Journal-Miner.

RHEUMATISM IN ELBOWS, WRISTS
AND KNEES.
Urbana, Ohio, Aug. 20, 1908.
Last winter had a severe attack of
rheumatism. It started in the right
elbow, and from there to my wrists; the
right wrist was the worse. 1t became
swollen and extremely painful. My left
knee joint was the next place to be at
tackled. 1t became swollen and of course
painful. The next point to be affected
much trouble. I was barely able to get
about for some time. I was under treat
ment Of physician for awhile, but get
ting no better began 8. 8. g., and after
taxing it for some time I was entirely
relieved of the Rheumatism. All swelling
and soreness disappeared. I consider
