Last summer while recovering from ILL.,
ness of fever. 1 had a severe attack of
Inlam1natory Rheumatism in the knees,
from which I was unable to leave my
room for several months. I was treated
by two doctors and also tried different
kinds OF linaments and medicines which
seemed to relieve me from pain for
awhile, but at the same time l was not
any nearer getting well. One day while
reading a paper l saw an advertisement
of S. S. S. for Rheumatism. l decided
to give it trial, which l did at once.
after l had taken three bottles l felt a
great deal better, and l still continued
to take it regularly until l was entirely
cured. 1 now feel better than for years,
and I cheerfully recommend S. S. S. to
any one suffering from Rheumatism.

which when deposited in the muscles
and joints, produce the sharp, cutting

Ever have itching piles?
Not sick enough to go to bed; not

The constant itching sensation.

is with much pleasure that I testify to
the merits of Doan's Ointment in cases
if itching piles. I suffered from that
tormenting affection for the past year.
I tried nearly everything that was rec
commended to me and what I saw ad-
vertised, but I could get no relief. Fin
ally 1 procured Doan's Ointment. After
a few applications I was much re-
lieved, and, continuing the treatment,
I was soon completely cured. 1 have
felt no signs of that intolerable itching
since. and it is four months ago since
I used Doans Ointment. To say that
I was delighted is only half expressing

DIDN'T KNOW WHERE
HIS HURTS WERE

Frank Williams, said by the police
who looked after him to have been in
toxicated. fell from an electric car near
the Oahu Railroad station last night.
He was thought to be badly injured
and fast" call was sent to the po-
lice station for the patrol wagon.
DR.. Emerson, the police surgeon. ana
DR.. Moore, the Rapid Transit surgeon,
were called and had quite an experience
trying to ascertain whether or not
young Williams had received anv in
juries.
Williams moaned with pain said to
be in his right arm which he claimed
was broken. Every time a surgeon
got his hands near the arm he yelled
and prevented them from making an
examination. At last DR. Emerson
looked at the arm and found it was not
broken. Williams insisted that it was.
Finally, when the doctors said nothing
was wrong there, Williams transferred
his pain to the middle of his back
which he said was surely broken. This
time he moved his arms about, for
getting the break. The back was found
to be intact. Williams said however
that he had been so badly shaken IN
by his fall, that he was unable to get
home. A hack was called and a con-
pie of TRUSTEES carried him to the va-
hlcIe- Williams chuckled to himself
curing this transfer from jail to hack.
and then worried the men by holding
ms BODY stlff so that they could not
get MN inside. Success finally attend
ed their efforts and Williams rode off
in triumph.
