- PAIN ~

Those who have ever felt its keen, cutting pains, " witnessed the intense
suffering of others, know that Rheumatism is torture, and that it is right
ly called 1.-The King of Pain"
All do notsufer alike. Some are suddenly seized with the most excrucia-
ting pains, and it seems every muscle and joint II the body was being torn
asunder. Others feel only occasionals slight pains for weeks or ronths, when
a sudden change in the weather or exposure to damp, chilly winds or night
air brings o n a fierce attack, lasting for days perhaps, and leaving thepa-
tent with a weakened constitution o crippled and deforrned for all time.
An acid. polluted condition Of the blood is the cause Of every form and
variety of Rheumatism, Muscular, Artcuhr, Acute, Chronic, Infamnatory
and Sciatic, and the blood must be purged and purified before there is IN
end to your aches and pains. External applications, the useo Of inIments and
plasters, do much toward temporary relief, but such treatmentd does not reach
the real cause orc cleanse the diseased blood; but S. S. S., the greatest of all
blood purifiers and tonics, does cure Rheumatism by antdotng and neutra1iz-
ing the poisonous acids and building up the weak and sluggish blood. It's
safe and rehabein alforms of Rheumatism Itmakes
~ the old acid blood rich, and the pantortured mus
~ cls and joints are relieved, the shattered nerves are
o1o)o1 made strong, and the centres system is invigorated and
w. toned up by the use of this great vegetable remedy.

Bismarck, N. d., Sept. 9.--Gover-
nor White has returned to the capital
from a hunting trip in the vicinity
of Valley City to find several anwsers
from members of the legislature to
the personal letters he sent out before
his departure asking their opinion as
to the advisabiliy of an extra session.
The governor says he has heard from
about a third Of the members and that
with one or two excer'tuys they are Of
the opinion that an extra session is the
best way out Of the present difficulty
in the state institutions. 1t is DO :sible
that a majority of those who have not
yet answered may not be favorable
to the session, but if the present
proportion is maintained it seems
more than probable that the session
will be called.
