SWOLLEN FINGERS
And Painful Joints Caused BY Rheu-
matism.
A Severe Case at Gambia, N. H., Cured

tisrn for two years, found relief in Or.
Williams Ping Pills for Pale People.
Before j tried this remedy my fingers
We're swollen and all my joints panied
me terribly The disease affected my
stomach so that / became troubled with
Indigestion and constipation, my ner-
Vous system became unstrung al l
found myself melancholy and morose
and in a generally miserable condition.
And all the time | was in pain from the
rheumatism.
An account in the papers of Il per
son cured of troubles like mine By Dr.
Williams Pink Pills, led me to try
them. and before the first box was ell
taken the pain and soreness seemed
better \ few boxes more drove the
rheumatism away and now l feel well.
My husband also took this medicine for
rheumatism with gratifying results"
The real cause of rheumatism is the
presence Of acid in the blood, which
irritates the sensitive tissues that unite
the joints and cover the muscles, thus
causing those indescribable tortures
which rheumatic sufferers endure Dr.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People go
directly to the seat of the trouble, puri-
flying and enriching the blood by elm
mating poisonous elements and renew

potent remedy for curing this disease.

The Universal Apple.

The latest estimate places the total
number of apple trees Of bearing age
in the United States at something over
2OO,OOO,0O0. This is nearly three trees
to every person. These trees yield more
than 175,OOO,000 bushels. Not all these
apples are consumed at home, for In
years of full crop more than 1900, 600
bushels go abroad. Yet, the apples kept
at home are more than two bushels for
every adult and child. We are nation
of apple eaters. This fact may not be
to our credit, however, when we re-
member that good part Of all these
apples are Ben Davis and other kinds
that refined and cultivated taste will
not choose for Its dessert. Yet probably
half our people never raise an apple;
and Of the half who do raise them but
a small percentage grows for market;
and of those who grow for market, only
part make profit from the business.
Yet there is money in apple-growing.-
