Nelson, likewise, has devoted him

but, unlike Corbett. has had much diff

Cairns was one of the four survivors

Talks on the Prospects for the New

New York. March I'm a letter
from Hot Springs, John ]. McGraw.
the manager of the Giants, says the
same rules will apply this year as won
the championship for the New Yorks
in 1904.
McGraw intimates that he thinks
the team will be strengthened by the
changes which have been made in the
players. He looks upon Donlin as
one of the best batters in professional
baseball and would not be surprised
to see him lead the National league as
batsnan this summer
With Donlin in center every day
and Bresnahan as catcher every al
ternate day, McGraw believes he will
have a stronger nine than that which
won the championship last season
While he does not express any belief
that Bresnahan will surpass Warner
as a catcher, he is assured of better
batting and better base running.

Rheumatism

Like Neuralgia, is now known
to be a nervous disease. The
kidneys become weak through
lack of nerve energy, and fail
to filter the uric acid from the
blood; this acid attacks and
burns the nerves and muscles,
and consumes the. oil in the
joints, producing Inflammation,
fever, swelling-pain.
To cure Rheumatism, then,
you must restore the kidney
nerves and muscles, and neu-
tralize the effect of the acid
upon the joints and tissues

Nervine, a nerve medicine,
which has made many cures of
this painful disease. Nervine
strengthens the kidney nerves
and increases the circulation,
and relief is assured.

Usage, I have been in the oil business
more than twenty years and have made a

In spite of denials there is no question
