"It first appeared in my knee joints,
then i'll my hips and waist. 1t became
a regular thing that would be laid up
all winter. The rheumatism affected
mostly my hands, hips, feet and
shoulders. MY hands Were all pulled
up and my feet became deformed.

sometimes was compelled to cry out

For several winters was under the
doctors care and while his medicine re-
heved the pain for q little while there
seemed no prospect for q permanent
cure. vas confined to my bed, off and
on, for weeks at a time. My limbs
swelled dreadfully at times and I was
reduced almost to nothing.
"In the spring of 1904, upon the ad.
vice of friend, 7 began to use DIR.
Williams Pink Pills. At that time
wasn't able to do anything and could
barely eat enough to keep alive. I felt
change for the better in about month.
[ began,to eat heartily and l suffered
less pain. OF course kept on the
treatment, using care III my diet, and
in about three months I was cured. /

own work"

Brown by driving therheumatic poisons
out of her blood. But you must get the

EX-GOVERNOR SWINEFORD.

Ex-Governor Swineford, on tour of Alaska in the interests of his candidacy for the short-term delegateship to Wash ington from Alaska, was in town for the few minutes the Monarch was tied up on the water front last Friday. Gov ernOr Swineford has several acquaint- ances in these diggings, but they were not expecting him and the few residents he met shook hands with him for the first time.
 He is making the race on his own responsibility, with self government as his shibboleth He is undoubtedly sin cere, and, looking backward, his princi ples are without flaw.
 And no matter how his fellow Alas kans may view the future, there should be nothing but good feeling for this old man whose Americanism is his pride and inspiration.
