THEY FIND IN URlC-O
Permanent Cure-Rheumatio
Sufferers Rejoice in Receiving
such Splendid Results from


If a convention could be held of all the Rheu.
matte sufferers who have been cured complete
ly by the use of Uric-O, there would be such a
rejoicing as to convince every skeptc that there
at last been found the true "Fountain" of
health, and yet this would be a decided error,
for Uric-O is not "cure all" but simply cure
for Rheumatism and Rheumatism only.
Every sufferer from Rheumatism who wants
to be rid of the sleepless nights, the nerve bind
ing, muscle twisting hours of pain, should lay
aside all other forms of treatment, get bottle
of Urc-O and start rejoicing on his way to
health. 1t matters little how long one has
suffered from the trouble nor how intense the
suffering, Uric @ will cure it. Cure it COM
pletely, cure it permanently and cure it to stay
cured. Muscular, Articular and Inflammatory
Rheumatism yield at once to this mighty heal
ing agent. Druggists and physicians every
where are gladly recommending Uric O for
Rheumatism because they know its wonderful
curative properties cannot be exaggerated.
Uric-O acts directly upon the blood, muscles
and kidneys 1t neutralizes the uric and rheu-
matte acid poison, and drives it from the blood.
The store of NJ. K. Burt is the "Home of
Uric-O' in Middlebury and he sells and guar
antees it for 75c and 81 90 a bottle We know
you can be cured by | rico and if you only try
one bottle you will thank US from the bottom
of your heart for having made you acquainted
with this marvellous remedy Don't delay.
Don't put 1t off. Try it and try it today. Ask
Mr.. Burt about it and learn from him the many
cures Uric-O has effected right here in your
own town. If you desire, you can test and try
it free of charge by sending your name and
address to the Smith Drug Co., Syracuse,N. Y.

THE LEGISLATURE.

pa WI ~ 4sc .
There was small attendance in both
houses when the legislative convened
Monday afternoon after the Thanksgiv.
ing recess, and the two short sessions
were more or less perfunctory. Some
business was transacted, however. In
the Senate bill was introduced from
the committee on judiciary, relating to
the recording titles of divorced women's
property.
Senator Taylor. recently elected judge,
resigned, and his resignation was ac-
cepted.
Routine business was transacted in the
House. The bill to raise the pay of the
State house janitor passed without de-
bate.
The impression is becoming general
that, with such important legislation
before it the legislature will find the
usual two weeks not enough in which
to handle the necessary amount of bust
ness. Among the measures to be passed
upon are double taxation, reorganization
of the State highway and State railroad
commissions, the weekly payment law,
which has not passed the Senate, vari-
Gus fish and game laws, the proposed
amendment to the local option law and
measures affecting the farmer, such as
hedgehog BILL etc.
Under existing laws the railroad COM
mission has control of all heating of
railroad cars except on mixed trains.
Under the amended bill now pending in
the Legislature the railroad commission
will have control of all car heating in the
State. This is as it should be.
, The Legislature is receiving deserved
commentator for the work it has thus
far accomplished. If the Legislature
perseveres in well doing and fuIfills all
pledges made in it's behalf, it will estab
lish new precedent in legislative pace
making and good, progressive govern
ment.

elections, with amendment.
