PINK PILLS
WILL CURE
RHEUMATISM
Every Form of the Disease
Yields to This Blood Build
ing and Purifying Remedy,
Even Obstinate Cases of
Long Standing.

One result of the unusually trying
weather of the past spring is the gen
eraI prevalence of rheumatism
throughout the country. While rheu-
matism is a disease of the blood,
shown by its hereditary character,
cold, dampness. and changes of
weather are exciting causes. By ar
resting the usual secretions they cause
the latent poison in the blood to de-
velop and acute rheumatism is the
result.
1t generally commences with stiff
ness and lameness and sometimes with
chills and fever. The pain in the
Joints becomes more severe and causes
agony at every attempt to move. The
disease is liable to shift from one por-
ton of the body to another and some
times involves the heart. While DR..
Williams Pink Pills have cured some
of the most obstinate cases of rheu-
taking the remedy when the first
symptoms appear.
Mr.. F. A. Mcclure. a travelling
salesman, living at No. $50 North
Pearl street, Albany. N. Y. says: Il
had muscular rheumatism for ten
years, often so severely that could
not leave my bed. None of the several
physicians who prescribed for me at
various times was able to help me in
the least. All this time the disease
was becoming more chronic and my
suffering was awful. Finally 1t be-
came so bad that 1 had to go to bed
and stay there as cOulQ not move
without terrible pain. My sickness
now worried me greatly for early the
following month I had to start out on
the road and there was. almost help
less, in bed and all run down in health
and strength
my wife said she had heard that
DR. Williams Pink Pills were good
for rheumatism and it was upon her
advice that I tried them. After TAX
ing them for three or four days the
pain began to leave me and in a short
time I was on my feet again, feeling
as we'll and strong as ever Dr. Will
Hams Pink Pills cured me and ain
willing to have this statement pub
1ished."
Dr. Williams Pink Pills have also
cured such blood diseases as anaem1a,
debility, scrofulous conditions. after
effects of the grip and fevers. Owing
to the intimate relation between the
blood and nerves, the pills have been
found invaluable in such nervous dis
eases as dizziness. nervous debility,

ARE TRAINED TO FIGHT.
Natives of India Are Being Educated
for a Revolt.

London, July 5.-Dispatches from
India report that the disaffection among
the natives is rapidly increasing. Ac-
cording to a correspondent who has
made several tours of Bengal, revolt is
being preached in many procinces and
the natives are being trained to fight.
He declares that the seriousness of the
situation is hardly realized by the Eur
opeans in India or at home. Formerly
the discomfort was confined to a few
agitators, but now 1t has spread among
the aristocracy and land holders as well
as among the peasants and coolies. An
organization known as National Vol
unteers has branches in nearly every
town and village and tales of lawless-
ness and oppression by these volun-
teers came from every district The
rural police are weak, the correspond
ents states, and the people are grad
ually losing respect for order and au
thority. An alarming feature of the
situation, it is stated, is the growing

the Pacific.

Toxic, July 5.-The report from
Washington attributing the proposed
sending of sixteen battleships to the
Pacific coast to Admiral Dewey's pri-
vate plan, is generally disbelieved here
by those whose knowledge and expert
ence entities their opinion to some at
tention. The United States is not
known to possess naval bases in the
Pacific adequate for such purpose and
the impression prevails that the send
ing of SO large a squadron where suffi
cient rendezvous does not exist would
simply mean that the vessels would be
an easy prey to torpedo boats and de-
stroyers. Should sixteen battleships
be so employed as to disprove this i'm
preston. a record breaking naval feat
will have to be accomplished.

GIRL WANTS A PENSION.
An lola Miss, Totally Disabled, APP
pears Before the Board.

lola, July 5--The first girl sixteen
years of age to apply for a pension in
Allen county, and perhaps the only
one on record was examined by the
Allen county pension board Thursday
afternoon.
year old daughter of Joseph Tanning,
a soldier in the Civil war, appeared
before the board and asked that she
be examined SO that she might apply
for a pension on the grounds of total
disability.
Josie has been drawing a pension
since her fathers death almost eight
years ago. The law provides that all
children of soldiers under the age of
sixteen years may receive pension
for their support. Children over Is
who are disabled may receive a pen
sion however. Miss Tanning is to-
tally disabled. making it impossible
for her to contribute to her support.

ROOSEVELT AND THE THIRD
TERN

Again has President Roosevelt reite9s
atcd his determination to not be cam
didate for third term This declara-
ton was given publicity in Washington
no later than Wednesday. and should
set at rest the endeavors of the compar-
atively few in the United States who are
so full of Rooseveltism as to approve
the disregard of the precedent estab-
lished by George Washington. 1t is
about time for the country to resume a
safe and sane attitude not only as to
Roosevelt but on other issues in which
the welfare of the people is involved
However, some men prominent in poll
tics who are afflicted with Rooseveltsn1
regard this pledge Of the President as.
1.-THE expression of man which could be
brushed aside by stampede to Roose-
welt in the Republican Convention This
view can not be shared by men who
measure Roosevelt from the altitude of
sincerity and honesty of purpose If
President Roosevelt were to depart from
this pledge and should yield to the
clamor of the politicians, he would for
felt the esteem in which he is held by
the masses and he would level himself
to the plane of the demagogue Accept
ing, then, this pledge, reiterated as it is
given, President Roosevelt is eliminated
from further consideration as a candi~
date for the presidency, which leave the
field open to the stalwart Of his party.
With this question settled, the country
may take a long breath OF relief.
