! FOOLED THE PREACHER.
a Doctors Brother Thought Postum
Was Coffee.

A wise doctor found out coffee was
hurting him so he quit drinking it.
He was SO busy with his practice,
however, that his wife had to write
now, he5fooled his brother, a clergy
man, one day at dinner. She says:
Doctor found coffee was injuring
him and decided to give Postum
trial, and we have used 1t now for
four years with continued benefit. In
fact, he is now free from the long
train of ills that follow coffee drink
ing.
/. ITO show how successful we are in
making Postum properly, 1 will relate
an incident. At a dinner we gave,
doctor suggested that We serve Pos
tum instead of ordinary coffee.
Doctors brother, clergyman,
supposed it was old fashioned coffee
and remarked, as he called for his
second cup, If you do preach against
coffee see you haven't forgotten how
to make it.
This goes to show that well-made
fully boiled-Postum has much the
favor and richness of good coffee al
though it has an individuality all it,
own. A ten days trial will prove that
it has none of the poisonous effect OF
ordinary coffee but will correct the
troubles caused by coffee. There's

assembly of the. state Of South Caro-

"Section 1. That all contracts
that are entered into, with intent to

"sec. 2. That no court in this

"Sec. 8. That the courts Of this

substitute for or having as its con-

Science at Last Discovers Real
Cure For Rheumatism.

After years of experiment new scien-
tifc remedy has been found that not only
relieves, but absolutely cures Rheumatism
and kindred diseases, to stay cured. Rheu-
ratism is caused by an excess of poisonous
acids in the blood. The new discovery
Rheumacide, though purely vegetable, and
acting through natures channels, neutral-
ICES these acids and sweeps all poisons and
harmful germs out of the blood. At the
same time it tones up the stomach and
regulates the liver and kidneys.
Rheumacide, therefore, cures the disease
permanently, because it removes the cause.
It has cured hundreds of cases after the
most noted doctors and hospitals have
failed. Rheumacidc cured James Wilkes,
of Dillon, S. G., after he had been held m
bed by rheumatism for three years and his
feet were drawn up almost to his back.
This is only one of the many marvellous
cures Rheumacide has already performed.
Rheumacide is curing many cases of Rher-
matism, Sciatica, lumbagc, gout, kidney
trouble, indigestion and constipation, right
in this community today.
Because it has cured SO many others we
believe it will cure you. All the leading
druggists in this place sell and recommend
Rheumacide.
