SCIENCE AT LAST DISCOVERS A REAL
CURE FOR RHEUMATISM.
After years of experiment new
scientific remedy has been found that
not cniy relieves, but absolutely cures
rheumatism and kindred diseases, to
STAY cured. Rheumatism is caused by
an excess of poisonous acids in the
blood. The new discovery, RHEU-
MACIDE, though purely vegetable
and acting through natures channels,
neutralizes these acids and sweeps all
nelson's and harmful germs out OF the
blood. At the same time it tones up
the stomach and regulates the liver
and kidneys.
RHEUMACIDE, therefore, cures
the disease permanently. because 1t re-
rnoves the cause. 1t has cured hun
dreds of cases after the most noted doc
tors and hospitals have failed. kHEu-
MAcIDE cured James Wilkes, OF Dill
,on s. c., after he had been held In
bod nv rheumatism for three years ana
lis feet were drawn up almost to bis

marvelous cures RHEUMACIDE mas las
already performed. RHEUM ACiDn

What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr.. Kilurer's Swamp
Root the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver. bladder and every part
Of the urinary passage. 1t corrects inability
to hold water and scaldng pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wire or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to 60 often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect Of Swamp-ROot is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.

Pacifying the Country.

underground information of what was
urday morning, before the news was
known in st. Petersburg, reports of
the mutiny were freely circulated in
Cronstadt.
In both cabinet and naval circles it
is regarded as absolutely vital that the
mutiny be crushed in the seyerest
fashion at any cost if discipline in
the navy is to be restored and the
army held loyal.
The problem of hemming in the
nutineers and subduing the revolt is
atively easy. The marine barracks
lie at the extremity of land jutting
out between the southern roadstead
and what it known as the ships bay
The barracks of the Bielostok regi-
ment are at the very neck of the
peninsula nesting under the shelter of
the famous Malakoff hill. barring the
route to the city which lies on the
southern side of the roadstead opposite
the quarters of the sailors.
The warships can enter the road
stead and Ships bay, practically sur
round the mutineers on three sides
their ears. The forts of Sebastopol
lie west and south of the city and
along the north shore of Sebas topol
Bay and only the guns of the fort
Constantine, which defend the en-
trance to the roadsteads could be
brought to bear upon the barracks.
