Knights Templar of the Thirteenth
Century.

Sir Knight Rev. II. E. Dunnack of
Augusta delivered very interesting
and eloquent address on the Knights
Templar of the Thirteenth Century at
the semi monthly meeting of Broth
erhood of st. Paul The President,
Mr.. H. E. Dinsmore, in introducing
the speaker remarked that it was his
pleasure to help make the Rev. gen.
tleman a Sir Knight and was glad to
learn that he still found the work of
sufficient interest to study the same
historically.
The lecturer dealt with the religious
and social and political significance
of those movements which stirred all
Europe and threw the flower of its
nobility against the Saracene hosts of
Asia in the struggle for the possession
of the Holy Sepulchre at Jerusalem
and showed how modern Knights
Templarism grew out of the same
common soul of chivalry, based upon
the three cardinal virtues of poverty,
chastity, and obedience, giving up
the worlds reward, practicing self
control and learning obedience.
These virtues are the hill crest the
palace and the throne of glory Of the
Sir Knight.
The address was well received and
much appreciated by those present.

The Heart Can't Stand
Rheumatic Acid
Poisoning.
To Free and Correct the Blood a
Urico-O Treatment is Advised.

There is great danger in those sharp, ssost
ing pains through the chest around the regioa
of the heart. II means that poisonous ansc
and rheumatic acid are there ready to spriag
and grip tightly the muscles controlling the
hearts action. Don't neglect these warn
ings, they are the danger signals Natare
flashes to you for help. You must neutraise
and drive these dangerous Poisons from the
system, or sooner or later they will overcosae
you.
The only true way to cure Rhuematisn is
to get at it from the inside with Uric-O 1t
acts with marvellous swiftness spon the
muscles, kidneys and blood. Clears out the
sand-like deposits in the muscles, forces the
kidneys to perform those duties for which
they were designed and neutralizes the acid
within the blood.
Your physician will admit that this is the
only true way to cure Rhuematism Perma-
nently and should know that Uric-O is the oae
remedy that will do it successfully and perraa
nently. Uric-O is liquid taken internally,
times daily, and does not contain any nor
phine, opium or other so-called pain dead
eners." 1t is good for Rheumatism in any
form. Sciatica, Muscular, Inhammatery and
Articular Rheumatism all yield readily to
Uric-O.

In every community you will find
women who have been restored to
health by Lydia K. Pinkham's Veg

In the Pinkham Laboratory at
Lynn, Mass, any wOnananyd day may
see the files containing over one mil
lion one hundred thousand letters
from women seeking health, and
here are the letters in which they
openly state over their own sigma
lures that they we're cured by Lydia

Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has saved many women
from surgical operations.
Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is made from roots and
herbs, without drugs, and is whole

The reason why Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is 80
successful is because it contains in
gradients which act directly upon
the feminine organism, restoring 1t
to healthy normal condition.
Women who are suffering from
those distressing ills peculiar to their

facts or doubt the ability of Lydia

ity has defined neuralgia HS the cry OF
the nerves for better blood This IL true
berause tie nerves receive their nourish-
ment through the blood. Build up the
blood, tho Impoverished nerves are fed
and the neuralgia pains disappear.
Thus it is - on of how little perma-
nent benefit a lncll or external applica-
ton can be in the treatment of neural
Ria or sciat.ra, which is a form OF
neuralgia 1t also shows how ex
actly suited to the cure OF neural
gla and sciatica is such a remedy as
