THE BLOOD
NEITHER LINIMENTs NOR ONT.
MENTs WILL REACH RHEU-
MATIsM-How MR.. sTEPH-
SON WAS CURED.

To attempt to cure rheumatism by
external applications is foolish waste
of time. The seat Of the disease is
in the blood, and while the sufferer is
rubbing lotions and grease on the skin
the poison in the circulation is increas-
ing and being distributed to every
Joint and muscle of the body.
Delays in adopting sensible treat
ment are dangerous because rheumatism
may at any moment reach the heart
and prove fatal. The only safe course
for rheumatic sufferers is to get the
best possible blood remedy at once.
Mr.. Stephenson's experience with
this obstinate and distressing afliction
is that of hundreds who treat it at
first as if it were confined to the part
where it appears, and superficial He
says:
About year ago ] was attacked
by severe rheumatic pains in my left
shoulder. The pains were worst in
wet weather and at these periods
caused me the greatest suffering.
tried a number of treatments and oint-
ments but they failed to alleviate the
pains"
Then he realized that the cause
must be deeper and the pain only
surface indication, a symptom of
hidden disorder that must be sought
out and corrected by an internal rene
dy. He adds:
81 had heard of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People recommended as
a cure for rheumatism, and when 1
found that I was getting no relief from
made up my mind that
1 would try them. Before the first box
was gone I noticed that the pains were
becoming less frequent and that they
were not so severe as before. After
the second box had been used up I was
entirely free from discomfort and I
have had no traces of rheumatism
since"
The change in treatment proved by
almost immediate results that it was
based on the right theory, and the
luickness with which the improve
nent proceeded TO a perfect cure
showed that he had found the true
means for the publication and enrich
nent of his blood.
People with inflamed and aching
oints, or painful muscles; people who
huffle about with the aid of a cane

Mr.. Cha liners as he took his place at

letter was written with a lead pencil.
The detectives descended on the
peaceful citizens of Provincetown;
which sand-girt village of Cape Cod
found itself of a sudden possessed
of the center of the stage. Probably
no town in America affords less OPP
portunities for secretiveness than
Provincetown. There is but one
street in the village-a narrow, wind
ing lane which follows the sinuosity
of the harbor.
But the detectives were not dis
mayed. There were hundreds of fish
ing boats at their deep-sea toll. and
their shippers were interviewed.
So were the trainmen and conduc-
tors. The latter were positive that
no man answering Mr.. Morton's de-
scription had travelled over the single
road which runs up Cape Cod PENN
sula. Two detectives were left at
Provincetown to continue the search
for clews, and the others received
telegraphic instructions to proceed
to Springfield, Mass, and Albany. n. Y.
On Friday the New York papers
contained brief accounts of the dis
appearance of one T.. Sylvester Vim
cent, a Chicago gentleman, who fol-
lowed the profession of promoting
enterprises and inventions. Mr.. Vim
cent had been stopping at the Broad
way Central hotel. He was described
as gentleman of impressive bear
ing and rare charms Of conversa-
ton. Mr.. Vincent had registered in
the hotel two weeks before the time
when his absence was noted. His no.
tel bill was due, and repeated efforts
to present this little matter to Mr..
Vincent's attention disclosed the
fact that he had not been in his
rooms since Monday night. An ex-
animation Of his effects revealed a
much frayed evening suit, a small
collection of unwashed linen, the
prospectus of a plan for ship ca
nal connecting Pittsburg with Lake
Erie, and pocket dictionary.
In the light of much greater events
the fate of L. Sylvester Vincent made
so feeble flicker that it was I'M
