seven In the Bible.

The number seven plays prominent
part In events In the Bible. The crea
ton took six days, and on the seventh
there was rest. On the seventh day Of
the seventh month holy observance
was ordained, and the Israelltes feast
ed seven days and rested seven days.
Noah had seven days warning Of the
flood, and the seven years Of plenty
were foretold In Pharnoh's dream by
seven fat beasts, as were the seven
years by seven lean beasts. We speak
Of the seven heavens, and the seventh
son was supposed to be endowed with
pre-emlnent wisdom. In short. there is
no other number which enters into the
Bible so often as seven. No doubt the
wide popularity Of the number and the
superstltlons which are connected with
It came from It's wide use In the Bible.

Wounded apes have died crying and
apes have wept over their young ones
slain by hunters. A chImpanzee train

lions often weep over the loss OF their

RHEUMATISM Is CURABLE
If URlC-0 Is USED
ALL OTHER TREATMENTS FAIL

Is It the unhealthy foods we eat or
the rapid pace in which we live that
cause such an endless amount of Rheu-
matism nowadays? The disease has GER
tainly reached an alarming point, as
nine -tenths OF the adult population in
this country are more or less afflicted
with some form of this maddening dis
ease. Recent investigation has proven
the fact that Rheumatism is blood
disease, therefore, many bright chem
lists and physicians have had good
ground to work upon, and they have
succeeded in compromising a remedy,
which, if used as advised, cannot fail to
drive and eliminate from the blood and
muscles all traces Of mans greatest
evil, Poison Rheumatic Acid. URIC-O
Is the name of this remedy. 1t is a
liquid treatment, made and designed to
cure all forms of Rheumatism and good

sou, no alcohol or whiskey entered into
the composition of URIC-O. 1t is SIM
