Certain ReIief

The secret lay in q wonderful chemical
I found in Germany. When I found this
chemical I knew that I could make a
Rheumatic cure that would be practically
certain. But even then, before I made an
aunouncement-before I was willing to put
my name on i'll made more than 1000
testsl And my failures were but 2 per
cent.
This German chemical is not the only
ingredient I use in DR.. Shoop's Rheumatic
Cure-but it made the remedy possible
made possible an achievement which, 1
doubt not, could have been made IN no
other way.
This chemical vas very expensive. The
duty, too, was high. In all it cost me S4-S9
per pound. But what is $50 per pound
for a REAL remedy for the worlds most
painful disease?-for a REAL relief from
the greatest torture human beings know?
I don't mean that DR.. Shops Rheu-
matte Cure can turn pony joints into flesh
again-that is impossible. But it will drive
from the blood the poison that causes
pain and swelling, and then that is the
end Of the pain and s~welling-the end OF
the sunering-the end of rheumatism.
That is why I can afford to make this lib
eral oner-that is why I can afford to
spend The FIRST dollar that Rheumatic
sufferers, the world over, may learn Of
nv remedy.

The Home Shots Did SpIendidly

The members of the Topeka Gun club

Co, C. D. Plank representing the Bal
Iistite Powder Co., and c. B. Adams
with the Union Metallic and Remington
Arms Co., stopped over in Topeka to
shoot with the local gunners and Civ
an exhibition of their skill. The chief
motive of their visit was to revive the
interest in trap-shooting and stimulate
the gun club boys in an effort to OBJ
tain new members. Trap shooting is a
fine sport. The o~ut-of-door contests are
interesting to the observer and the con
t%estants. Topeka shoul rank high in
his sport, as there are any lumber of
fine wing-shots among her citizens, but
interest in the sport has languished,
and but for the efforts of some half
dozen devotees of the shotgun, would
die sl1t entirely. Local shooters are
hoping hat a change will soon take
place, and plans for the betterment OF
the gun club are already being made.
