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
with DR.. Miles Restorative
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.
Before I took DR.. Miles Nervine,
/ had been looking for cure for
Rheumatism for % years. The last
time was laid up for several months,

on the floor. I tried remedies to rub

Nervine and got a bottle. After the
first dose | had a good nights rest,
and after taking half a bottle the
pains disappeared, and went out and
walked all around the town. In week

lORDES OF HOMESEEKERS
Immigrants Pour Into Nebraska in Large
Numbers Seeking Settlements.
FREIGHT TRAFFIC HEAVY ON ALL LINES
Every Road Has All the Business
1t Can Easily Handle and
Corn Movement Has
Not Begun.

The Burlington railroad is receiving nu-
merous requests every day from land offices
and real estate dealers in western Ne
braska to increase the number of days on
which homeseekers' tickets are sold. At
present the first and third Tuesdays Of each
month are the dates of sale and the trains
are crowded to overlooking each day, so
that the people cannot all be cared for at
the stations. At one small town of less
than 800 people twenty-seven passengers
were unloaded one day, men who had seri-
Gus intention of locating in Nebraska. With
limited hotel accommodations and but one
livery stable i'm the town it is a serious
problem to care for all Of these people and
the agents want them to como more scat
tered instead of all in bunch.
Assistant General Passenger Agent Buck
ingham said: Not since 1891 and 1892 has
there been such movement of homeseek-
crs to Nebraska, People from the middle
states and farther east are coming in
droves, and 1t taxes the railroads to care
for them on the days of sale. The bumper
crops of Nebraska for this year are proving
a great magnet to draw the people to this
state and We have a state to show them
after they arrive. Every crop in Nebra ska
this year was gigantic, not a crop failure
Of any sort. The land agents Of Nebraska
have ~ trouble In selling the land when a
prospective buyer is driven by the cribs

crop yet in the fields"
