DR WILLIAMS PINK PILLS CURE
 STUBBORN RHEUMATISM.

NO ONE WHO READS THIS CAN AFFORD
 TO LET PREJUDICE PREVENT GIVING
 THE REMEDY A TRIAL
 Dr Williams Pink Pills have been curing the most stubborn cases or rheumatism for nearly a generatlon and thousands of grateful patients have given testimony that cannot be ignored.
 If you suffer from this disease and have not given the pills trial perhaps it is your prejudice or the influence of some friend that has prevented your finding health. Perhaps your doctor cannot help you and the thousand remedies recommended for rheuma- tism do not touch your case. We have on record hundreds of just such cases cured by Dr Williams Pink Pills and will welcome the opportunity to sub- mt the evidence to you.
 Robert Odbert, a machinlst, living at POI Cameron street, Detroit, Mich, had very distressing experience with rheumatism for about two years. He makes the following statement. "About the year 1887 felt the effects of rheumatism which gradually grew worse until was compelled to give up work for time. The years of '97 and '98 was confined to my bed most of the time. l was under doctors treat. ment but found no relief. My legs were swollen from the hips downward and red blotches appeared all over them. Frequently they pained me so that had to bind them tightly with strips of linen. This sometimes re- lieveds the pain but at other times failed to do so. At times 1 had to crawl to my work using two crutcheS. During these spells suffered greatly from pain around my heart which l attributed to the rheumatism.
 "At last my mother, who then lived in Stratford, wrote to me and asked me to take course of treatment with Dr Williams Pink Pills. 1 did and in short time l found myself getting better and have had no trouble since. I may here add that l consider myself perfectly cured. have not had the least sign of the disease since and feel better than l ever did. For these reasons 1 recommend Dr Williams Pink Pills to anyone affected the same as I waS."
 The testimony of MT Odbert, con cerning the specific value of Dr Will liams' Pink Pills as cure for rheuma' this distressing disease. Dr Williams' Pink Pills not only cure rheumatism but many common diseases depending directly or indirectly upon depraved condition of the blood, such as anemia, indigestion, sciatica, neuralgia, nerv- ous headaches and many forms Of weakness.

Rheumatism is not incurable. Stub born? Yes! But Dr Shoop's Rheumat- ic Remedy will if faithfully used drive it out of the system. It's the blood that's at fault. Poisonous; crystals like sand get into the joints and muscles. pr ShOOp'S Rheumatic Rem edy prevents this. It drives Rheuma- tiSm from the blood and then Rheuma- tism dies. We recommend and sell it.

BURNING OF H. W. ANDREWS BARN.
 The sympathies of the community are most certainly with H. w. An drews in the loss of his large barn by fire on Thursday. The barn was filled to the roof with hay and fodder and enough grain to last his stock till February. It contained some ma chinery and small tools which were burned. There seems to be but little doubt in the minds of everyone that 1t was caused by spontaneous cOmbuS- tion, the fire beginning on the top of the now at g, 30 in the morning. The progress of thei fire was so rapid that when help arrived they could not even save the harnesses The convenience of the telephone was very fOrcibly shown. When the. fire was first dis covered not man was near, MT An dreWS being at the Junction. Within 15 minutes 20 or 25 men were on hand to do what they could. MT Andrews days before rather green, yet no green CT than is often done in such catching weather. The windows in both gable ends of the barn were open, which made current of air sufficient to bring about the catastrophe. It has not been generally believed that fire is possible from such conditions. At the barns of the Pennsylvania Exper1- ment station, two or three years ago, a peculiar smell was observed in one of the barns, where 40 tons of rather green clover had been put in. Being suspicious of the cause, several men were set to work digging into the mows. It was soon found there were several places where actual combustion was beginning. A valuable lesson was learned which was that spontaneous comb tustion is possible where air is ad- mitted even in small amounts. In the case of silos the material is put in per fectly green and tramped as solid as it can be conveniently done, yet no spontaneous combustion ever takes place in them, because all the air is excluded. MT Andrews places his loss at $3, 500 with an insurance of $11OO. Rather than incur the heavy expense necessary to rebuild at this time, he has decided to sell off his COWS, num- bering 25 head or more, and give up active farming for the present, and try to secure position as manager of g. stock or dairy farm.
