NEGLECTED. RHEUMATISM
CAUSES PARALYSIS.
A Uric o Treatment VIII In All
Cases Remove the Cause

Paralysis is disease whose cause is shroud-
ed in mystery. If you were to investigate
carefully all cases of Paralysis you would find
that at some time previous to the attack, the
patient suffered from some form of rheuma-
tism Possibly like so many others, he
thought it was only slight matter OF tenn
porary inconvenience and paid no further at
tention to it. Rheumatism is not to be ne
elected with mpunity. The Uric and poison
Gus Rheumatic Acid must be neutralized and
driven from the system as soon as they put in
an appearance. Do this with Uric-O
1t is harmless vegetable preparation and
does not contain single drop of alcohol. 1t
operates by its action upon the blood mus
Giles and kidneys and cures Rheumatism to
stay cured We might give you testimonials
from thousands of people in all parts of the
country but we would rather have you talk
with some one whom you know and can be-
lieye. Next time you are down town, Just
drop into the store of F. w. Buchanan, Skow-
hegan's popular druggist. and ask him about
Uric-O. We wont predict what he will say,
but we have confidence enough in the rene
dy to leave it to him.
Uric-O is not a cathartic, nor does it affect
or distress the stomach in any way. Uric o
is a cure for Rheumatism and for Rheumatism
only. That is why it is such great success.
1t does one thing and does that one thing
perfectly Most druggists sell Urc-O at Use
and $500 the bottle, but you can have
sample bottle free il you cut out this adver-
,isemeut and send it with your name and
address to the Smith Drug Co., Syracuse, N.
Y Sometimes they send an order on your
druggist for 7sc bottle free Of charge in
reply to those requests for sample.

Prominent In the Christmas revels
and, with the holly, most essentially
"Christmasy" of all the plants used
was the mlstletoe. With us the old
significance and sacredness have gone,

also In some places the tradition that

Closing of Game SeasOn

The deer hunting SEASON In Maine
closed at midnight, Friday, and the re
cords kept by the wardens at Bangor
show that receipts there are about 1900
less than 10 1905, and considerably be ow
the average of the four years since the
nonresident license law want into effect
Receipts of deer TO date, this season, are
3485 and this will probably be- increased
TO abol. $500 by later arrivals. In 1905
the receipts were 4791. in 1904 1905, and
in 1905, the first license year. 1919. The
average of the four years, 1908 TO 1905
Inclusive Is 4316, 30 that this year is
about 800 below the average. The
moose season closed Nov 80. Receipts
in the past four seasons have been: 1903
PIT; 1908, 216, 1905 1856; average, 210.
The decline in game receipts, this
year is attributed generally to unfavor
able conditions for still hunting, al.
though Commissioner Carlton and some
others say the deer and moose are be-
coming scarce. Many old hunters are of
the opinion that the animals are simply
moving to new localities.
