PLAGUE SPOTS IN THE BLOOD
A Remedy Found to Clense the e attre
System.

Half of the diseases from which mankind
suffers are caused by impure blood. That
headache, tn sc pains in the joints and muscles
that tired feel ng, are all caused by poisons in
the blood. The reason Rheumatism, Sciatica
and Gout cannot be cured by rubbing with lin-
aments and oils is that the disease originates
in the blood, and an internal disease cannot be
cured by an externa remedy.
RHEUMACIDE is he most powerful blood
purifier in the world. RHEUMAClDE 'goes
right to the seat of thu disease" sweeping all
the p sons out of the blood, toning up the
stomach, Re regulating the liver and kidneys, and
restoring each organ OF the body to its normal
functions. This is the reason it cures 10 stay

kindred diseases after all the other means fai

FATHERS APPEAL.
de Wishes to Find His LiteIe Son
Who Was Stolen.

The little son Of DR.. s. L. Byers,
Of Seeley vile, Indiana, was stolen
from bis hcms one year ago last May.
Dr.. Byers has spsnt his entire re-
sources In search for his child and he
says unless the big hearted menbsrs
of tie p ess come TO ris assistance
his son will grow up an outlaw and
an outcast among the lowest people
of the earth. 1t is a cause that should
app al to everyone and no father
reading these lines can do 30 without
a %uuickening Of the heart and a sym.
pathetic throb.
1t is believed that If this article Is
reprinted in the newspapers 1t will
form an endless chain that will un.
cover the lost boys concealment and
return him to his distracted parents.
DR.. Byers believes his boy ia now on
some houseboat on some river wait.
ng to take the road in the Spring
There is a rewards of $500, awaiting
any information that will lead to the
boys rec very. No Questions will be
asked and If the abducter himself
would deliver the boy to his parents
be would not be molested. TIE be-.
reaved parents are heart broken with
grief and want only their child.
If each journal will reprint these
lines, they will travel to very ex-
change table in thu Uaited States
and bring back to q, wretched home q
child who is now no doubt suffering
with cold, unfed and wretched to a
degree. Think of .what. your OVID
feelings would be under similar cir
cunstancesl This appeal Is indicated
Eoriginally by a publisher who saw DR..
Beers only once, has no personal In.
terest in his quest other than the
bond OF sympathy; that makes the
world akin, and is inspired from the
belief thatfthe lost. boy can. only be
found thrt ugh the united eff jrt o.
the country press of which be Il
proud to. be a member. His rec very
will be a triumph In advertising ano
no editor whose heart is placed right
will refuse this appeal. Remember
it may be your child next! The fol
lowing Is a description Of the los'
boy:
Richmond Byers, If alive was, {
years old last. July, Is OF light com
plexlon, has gray eyes, left eye motto
IDLY crossed, has a small V. shaped
nick In the edge of the left ear, has

his age and is unusually bright and In
telligent, talking after the manner o.
a boy much older. DR.. Byers ha'
searched among the rowing bands thai

lieves that bis son can be f0unt
