ter what stage the disease is in or how
long you have had it, you can now be
cured sound and we'll. The reports that
come from users of this new cure seem
almost incredible but they are true never
theless. One man had Rheumatism for
twenty years and this remedy cured him
in two weeks. Another was in such pain
he could hardly sleep nights. The first
dose relieved his pain and 4. few days
further treatment completely restored
him to health.
A woman who had suffered long from
this most tenacious of all diseases was
induced by friend to try this wonder
full remedy. She, too, got well and never
tires of telling her neighbors of her great
good fortune in finding permanent re-
lief from what was proving the very
bane of her existence.
AS this discovery was only made short
time ago the remedy is entirely new and
acts on different principle from any
thing you may have previously taken.
Write Doctor ]. A. Tomas, Dept.
South Bend, Ind, and describe your
case. State If you have any other dis
ease besides Rheumatism and the doc
tor will prepare what you need and
send il to you by return mail free. The
doctor insists upon knowing something
of your general condition so he can cure
your other Affections, if you have any,
while he is curing your Rheumatism.

by some ferrets which have the run of
the premises. They are fed new milk
regularly once day and come out of
their holes for it with as much GER

One of the big hog raiSers of the west
was for some reason exempt from the
attacks of cholera in his large herd for
a period of nearly forty years and used
to credit his exemption from the dis
ease to his particular methods of care
and feeding and did not hesitate to rub
it in on his less fortunate neighbors
who suffered heavy losses. This was
seven years ago, and since that time he
has been cleaned out of 500 to 600 hogs
three different times, and now he Is
very frank to admit that he knows
nothing about preventing hog cholera.
Africa, taken as a whole, offers no
inducements whatever as a country

H. G. Dickson Writes of the
 Name, "Labarge"

To the Editor: In your issue of the srd inst , I notice letter of inquiry re- garding the proper name of the lake which lies between Fiftymile and Thirtymile rivers.
 If the matter is not already closed, l may give you some information, The Canadian geographic board'of Ottawa adopted the name L-a-b-s.r-g-e, pre- sumably after Canadian of that name. The United States geographic board, according to Marcus Baker, who was authorized by the librarian of congress to compile a list of Alaska names, while giving the ruling of the Cana dian board in that respect, adopted the L-e-b-a-r-g-e, claiming that that was the form used by Michael Lebarge him self after whom the lake was named.
 As all rulings of the Canadian board were made authoritative by order in council dated December IS, 1897, the spelling adopted by it is official, at any rate in Canada. Respectfully,
 H. G, Dickson.
