closely allied-both are due to thin, watery
and impure blood.
Have you ever noticed that it is when you
are tired, weak, WORKOUT and exhausted that
the rheumatism gives you trouble.
Well. if your blood were analysed at such
times it would be found lacking Unjust such ele-
ments as are contained in DR.. A. w. Chase's
Nerve Pills. Because this great restorative
actually forms rich healthful blood it positively
cures rheumatism.
Mr.. John GERHART, South Main St. On

ANOTHER REMARKABLE DISCOVERY.
Chicago Scientist Says He Has Solved Trans
mutation Of Elements

Chica go. Jan. THE assertion that the changing
Of elemental metals into another is posi-
bic was made yesterday by Professor Herbert NJ
Mccoy. Of the University of Chicago, the final
meeting OF the American Association for the Ad-
vancernent OF Science
The ancient dream of the separation OF the ele-
ments. which antedates the whole science of chem
istry, is being fulfilled by the processes of nature
and the effect of radum emanation it is alleged by
the chemist, who read paper on The Interrela-
tons of the Elements" The new theory is based
original investigation into the nature of the
and experiments believed TO shatter many
famous scientific hypothesis.
In support of his that the elements
longer be considered imnutable, and that mat
is of only primitive subject TO changes
Professor Mccoy told of the production of different
metals from elements in his own laboratory. The
presence of radioactive conditions in the atoms is
held responsible for the change.
The chemists of the Middle Ages then were wrong
only in attempting TO disntegrate the metals by
chemical processes such then known, ac-
cordng to DR. Mccoy
The discovery OF radiUm is important link in
the theory. and the radioactive changes In nature
give the best examples of separation of elements.
The study of radium is likely to prove complete
solution the problem of transmutatioE all
but cleared, he declares.
