IT IS IN The BLOOD
Neither LinimentS nor 0intmentS
Will Reach Rheumatism-HoW
Mr.. Stephenson Was Cured.

People with inf1amed and aching
joints, or painful muscles people who
shuttle about with the aid Of a cane or n
erutch and cry, On at every slight jar.
are constantly asking, What IS the best
thing for rheumatism %
To attempt to cure rheumatism BY ex-
ternal applications is a 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 increasing
Delays In adopting a sensible treatment
are dangerous because rheumatism may
at any moment reach the heart and prove
fatal. The only safe course forrheumatic
sufferers is to get the best possible blood
remedy at once
Mr.. StephensOn's experience with this
obstinate and distressing affection Is
that of hundreds. He says:
About 4 year ago I was attacked by
severe rheumatic pains IN my left
shoulder. The pains were worse in wet
weather, and at these periods caused me
the greatest suffering 1 tried a number
of treatments and Ointments, but they
failed to alleviate the pains"
Then ne realized that the cause must
be deeper and the pain only surface IN
dication. He adds:
g had heard DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People recommended as a euro
for rheumatism, and when found that
I was gettingno relief from applications,
made up my mind that would try
them. Before the first box was gone
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 was entirely free
from discomfort, and have had no traces
Of rheumatism since"
The change in treatment proved by
almost immediate results that Mr..
Thomas Stephenson, who lives at NO.115
Greenwood street, Springfield, Mass,
had found the true means for the purifi-
cation and enrichment Of his blood.
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills are without
doubt the best Of all blood remedies.
They effect genuine and lasting cures IN
rheumatism They do not merely deaden
the ache, but they eIPel the poison from
the blood. These pills are sold by all
druggists.

never came TO see her and never had
she seen him in his uniform. She
had seen many regiments march
through the streets on the way to
Cuba and as she gazed upon the sol
diers so straight and tall and noble
she had imagined how brave Johnnie
must look and she had wished, an so
ardently. that she might see him in
the garb OF his cOuntry's defenders.
But he had marched away without so
much as coming to see her or even TO
write her and with the same sigh Of
resignation into which all her air-cas-
ties had vanished she had taken up
her hum-dTum life Of toll again.
But still the germ OF hope had sur
viyed in her old heart. He was young
and wild After the war he would
steady down and would come back to
her and be her comfort and JOY. She
had chung 10 that idea with an in
tensity which stopped little short Of
mania. That hope was all that en-
abled her fraii body to hang over the
wash-tub by day and her trembling
fingers TO ply the needle by night,
all that had enabled her dim eyes to
see the work before her. all that kept
the fires Of life burning within her on
the scant food and little sleep she
allowed herself.
But now il was all over That brief
epigrammatic notice Of his death
struck her to the heart as keenly as
ever did the loss Of the most model
boy to loving mother Johnnie was
dead. There was nothing more to
work for. TO sacrifice for. TO hope for.
to live for. Through her binding
tears she did not see the form Of a
man clothed in the Khaki uniform In
Cuba, but a pretty blue-eyed boy IN
dresses. And in her ears rang the
prattle Of a childish voice. Johnnie

and heartsick, he had failed to give
her helping hand or even to come
TO her with a word of cheer.
But she had reasoned in her great
mother heart that the boy had been
beIeft Of a fathers care and that the
great necessity that always had con-
frOnted her had made it impossible to
give him the attention she should and
would have done. So if he was a little
wild was it not her fault and the fault
Of fortune rather than his.
Anyway she loved him with all the
passionate violence of a starved ma
tUre and never once did she lose her
abiding faith that he would come

Two Friends Have Reason for Fight.
ing the Destroying Angel
Twenty-seTen years ago a friend Of
the Chicago manager OF one Of the
great life Insurance companies OF the
country took out a policy with the
manager. II was an endowment pol
icy, maturing in fifteen years, and as
the policy was handed over to the ap-
plicant the manager took occasion to
remark to his friend that he had
made a good investment
% yes" replied the friend, quiz
zically; the policy is all right. You
won't be here to pay it, but I have
no fear that I won't get Ghe money
Il viii be here" returned the man
ager; III hand the stun out to you in
person"
And he did; and when the friend
had received his money he took out
another policy.
-Of course you won't be here when
I come for this one. but 1 guess it'll
be all right" remarked the friend for
the second time
III be here again, Johnny on the
spot" reiterated the manager, grim
". III see that you get it-you or
your heirs"
Twelve Of those years are gone by
and every few days the two men
meet The friend is a railroad man
and is with the same road that he
worked for when he took out the first
policy, twenty-seven years ago. The
manager is with the same company
which issued that same first policy.
And John is just stubborn enough
to be there at the window when I go
in for that money in 1907 says the
railroad man.
