AS TO RHEUMATIsM.

A well defined case of rheumatism is generally recognized by medical men as one of the most difficult problems with which they have to deal It has been found, however. by the experience of able physicians that much benefit results from putting the sufferer from rheumatism under the following treatment: Before each meal there Is administered an anti rheumatic tablet composed of 2k grains Sodium Bi-Carbonate, grains Salicylic Acid and 1 minim Wine of Colchicum. This is to be followed immediately by a glass of water. After each meal the patient is given a tablespoonful of a preparation of A oz Fluid Extract of Buchu, 1 dram Fluid Extract of Horse Kettle. l oz. Amet Cordial. A oz. Fluid Extract of Liverwort and 14 ozs. water The treatment. continued for a month is said to give most gratifying results even in unusually stubborn cases. The prescriptions given above any good drug Kist can compound.

Discuss Building Project.

The Ensley Commercial club will meet tomorrow night at the city hall for the purpose of finally passing on the ways and means to be adopted to build the club home. This matter was discussed at length at the last meeting but some por- tions of the proposed plan it was found necessary to refer to a committee for further elaboration. This committee will probably be ready with its report tomor- row night, the matter closed and the con- struction of the building begun as soon as the necessary funds are available. It is understood that about fifty members of the club have agreed to give as much as $100 each, and with others who will probably do likewise, the success of the plan seems assured. The lot and the building to be erected thereon are to cost not less than $10.000 Other matters of a general nature will also be discussed by the club. It is desired that as many members as possible be present.
