TAR AND FEATHERS LONG AGO.
Ordered by Richard Occur de Lion as
Punishment for Theft,

We learn from the annals of the his.
torian Hoveden, who was court chap
lain to Henry Ill that the old custom
of tarring and feathering is one that
dates back to the time Ct Richard the
Lion Hearted.
He tells us that this renowned king,
on setting out for the third crusade,
made this enactment among others,
for his fleet:
A rohber who shall be convicted of
theft shall have his head cropped af-
ter the fashion of champion, and
boiling pitch shall be poured there
on, and the feathers of cushion shall
be shaken out on him, so that he may
be known, and at the first land at
which the ship shall touch he shall
be set on shore.
This, then, is one Of several Gus
toms which has been classed COM
monty as American" while in truth.
1t originated with us, and was i'm.
ported by them from Europe.-Tit

PAIN IN THE JOINTS
Rheumatic fortunes Cease When Or.
Williams Pink Pills Make
New Blood

The first sign of rheumatism is fire.
luently pain and swelling in one of
The joints. If not combated in the
blood, which is the seat of the disease,
the poison spreads, affecting other joints
and tissues. Sometimes rheumatism at
tacks the heart and is quickly fatal.
The one remedy that has cured
rheumatism so that it stays cured is DR..
Williams Pink Pills. These pills expel
the poison from the blood and restore
the system, so that the poisonous matter
is passed off as nature intended.
Mrs. l. 7. Pitcher, of No. 1870 Mon
mouth street, Newark. N. J., suffered
for about three years from rheumatism
before she found this cure. She SAYS:
Z" 1t began with queer feeling III my
fingers. In little time it seemed as
though the finger joints had Jumps on
them and l could not get my gloves on.
"Then it grew worse and spread to
my knees. could not stand up and
could not sleep nights. My suffering
was more than can describe. / took a
great deal of medicine, but nothing even
gave me relief until tried Dr. Williams
Pink Pills.
" l read an account of cure in case
that was exactly like mine and my hus-
band got me some of the pills. / took
them for three weeks before really felt
better but they finally cured me. "
Mr.. Pitcher, who is veteran and a
member of E. d. Morgan Post, No. 907
of New York, substantiates his wife S
statement and says that she now walks
without difficulty, whereas a year ago
he was compelled to push her about in a
wheeled chair. Both Mr.. and Mrs.
Pitcher are enthusiastic in their praise
of DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
