IT IS IN THE BLOOD
Neither liniments nor 0intmsnts
Will Reach Rheumatism-now
Mr.. Stephenson Was Cured.

People with infiamed and aching
joints, or painful muscles; people who
shuttle about with the aid Of 4 cane or a
crutch and cry, Oh ! at every slight jar,
are constantly asking. What ID tho best
thing for rheumatism 2"
To attempt to cure rheumatism bv az.
ternal applications is q foolish waste Of
time. The seat Of the disease In in tho
blood. and while the sufferer is rubbing
lotions and grease on the akin tho poison
In the circulation is in~creasinR.
Deiaysin adopting asenEible treatment
are dangerous because rheumatism NAV
at any momentreach the heart and proye
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 affection n
that OF hundreds. He says:
About q 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 q number
OF treatments and ointments, but thew
Jailed to alleviate the pains"
Then he realized that the cause must
be deeper and the pain only q surface in
dication. He adds:
Il had heard DR.. Williams' PINK psi.

Tor rheumatism. and when I found that
Twas getting no relief from applications.

less frequent, aud that they were not =
severe as before. After the second bor

from discomfort, and I have had no tr,oes
OF rheumatism since"
The change in treatment proved bv
almost immediate results that Mr..
Thomas Stephenson, who lives at No. 11s
greenwood street, Springfield, Mass.

cation and enrichment Of his blood.
Dr. williams Pink Pills are vitbout

The Vulnerable Cotton Grower.

American Cotton Manufactures.
This wave OF discussion which Is
sweeping owe the cotton growing
States proves the e~arnestncss with
which the growers Of cotton rebel
against prices being forced upon them
ton. II Invariably takes q lot Of pun
ishment to overcome the intertia Of
such a large and unvieldly body ~
the cotton planters. Manufacturers
are In better position to protect them.
selves thar are those who supply them
with their raw material. Each heel
of the farmer Is vulnerable. and until
one is shielded by Information" and
the other fortified by Organization"
he can hope to be co-equal with
his customer, the spinner.
The growers had an unexampled op-
portunity and their use Of It at the
world concern. At that convention
were focused the result OF the ideas
presented by tens OF thousands Of
planters in their preliminary town
ship. county and State gatherings.
They must entirely discard the notion
that there is any reason for antago
nism between themselves and the
spinners who have no AK to grind on
the farmers grindstone.
Large profits to mills do not nee
essarily follow low prices for cotton.
Indeed the reverse generally holds.
Abnormally high prices, however,
such as obtained during the height Of
the Sully campaign, are confessedly
inimical TO the manufacturer. He de-
sires reasonable stability much more
ardently than he Graves low values.
With this ss clearing ground, an
examination OF the position OF the
grower discloses his past apathy to-
wards the doings OF his customer
How many farmers follow the ups and
downs OF the cotton goods market Z
Keep informed as to the volume Of
demand and read what spinners are
thinking and doing? Yet their pros
perity is in the end dependent on
these things. The daily press gives
little attention to such matters be-
cause Of the neutrality of the planters.
Contrast this with the attitude Of
spinners, commission and 3obbing
houses. and all the important dealers
In cotton goods. They read with avid.
ity every scrap Of information they
are able to find pertaining to the crop.
This Is as scrupulously perused and
as carefully digested as are the daily
quotations for goods and yarn. Crop
news instantly affects sales and pur.
chase OF finished products. Daily pa
pers seize on such matter as live news,
because so many of their readers ara
anxious to be kept informed.
1t Is equally important that every.
body connected with our cotton rails.
ing industry keep appraised as to the
competitive developments which are
being strenuously pushed and liberal.
ly financed in foreign countries.
To accomplish lasting results. con.
servatism. intelligence and integrity
must dominate the actions OF any
large body. At New Orleans a gigan.
tic coherent force was on the anvil,
but unless individual interests are
subordinated to the general welfare,
little real good will be accomplished.

says; Holding the surplus is only
one point In the game which the
Southern planters must play. II has
advanced prices considerably and may
carry them still higher. This Is a
matter OF speculation The other and
m important point is the reduction
OF acreage IL it is made firmly and
t~horoughly to the extent Of 25 per cent
then the reduction will have been OF
some avail. On the other hand. IL the
acreage be not reduced. the govern
ment's June report will undo all that
has been done and the planters will
lose disastrously."
