Last Summer I had a severe attack Of InhammA-

unable to leave my room for several months I
was treated by two doctors and also tried differ
emit kinds of liniments and medicines which
seemed to relieve me from pain for awhile, but -
the same time was not any nearer getting well.
One day while reading paper saw an advsr-
tisement of s. s. s. for Rheumatism decided
to give it trial, which did at once. After had
taken three bottles felt great deal better, and
/ continued to take it regularly until was en-
tirely cured. / now feel better than have for

RHEUMATISM


While the damp, cold, changing weather of
Winter intensifes the pains and other dsagreeable
symptoms of Rheumatism, it is by no means
winter disease exclusively. Through the long
months of Summer its wandering pains and twitch-
ing nerves are felt by those in whose blood the uric
acid, which produces the disease, has accumulated
Rheumatism is disease that involves the en-
tire system. It's primary cause results from the
failure of the eliminative organs, the Liver, Kid
neys and Bowels, to carry out of the system the
urea, or natural refuse matter. This coming in
contact with the different acids of the body forms
uric acid which is taken up and absorbed by the
blood. This acid causes fermentation of the blood,
making it sour and unfit for properly nourishing
the body, and as this vital stream goes to every
nook and corner of the body, the poison is distrib
uted to all parts. The nervous system weakens
from lack of rich, pure blood, the skin becomes fe
verish and swollen, the stomach and digestion are
affected the appetite fails and general diseased
condition of the entire system is the result.
Not only is Rheumatism the most painful of
all diseases, with its swollen, stiff joints, throhbing
muscles and singing nerves. but it is formidable
and dangerous trouble. If the uric acid is allowed

The PRESIDENTIAL AGE.

In connection with the boom of
Speaker Cannon for the RepubIican
presidential nomination, il has been
suggested that the speaker is too old
70 be president. He celebrated the sew
entieth anniversary of his birth few
days ago and seemed as frisky as a
colt. But if he should be nominated
and elected president he would take
the place at more advanced age than
any man that ever held it. The aver
age age Of presidents Of the United
states at the time OF their Inaugural
ton is 80 years. Technically. there have
been tventy-siX president, really there
have been only twenty-five. for only
twenty-five men have held the Office.
This apparent discrepancy is accounted
for by the fact that Grover Cleveland
was twice elected. but with four years
II private life intervening.
The oldest president. at the time Of
his Inauguration. was William Henry
Harrison. who was SIS wears old. He
died shortly after he was indicted into
Office. The third oldest was Zachary
Taylor. So. who survived his Inaugural
lion only a year The second oldest was
James Buchanan. SIS. Buchanan lived
10 be - years old. Only John Adams.
Jackson, William Henry Harrison and
Taylor were more than 50 years old
when they were inaUgurated. OF this
list, as has been stated. two, or 30 per
cent died long before the expiration Of
Their terms. The vital statistics are
clearly against Speaker Cannon
At the other end Of the line stands
President Roosevelt. He succeeded
Pres dent Mckinley when he was 43
