Rheumatism Cannot Be
Cured Unless UrlC.0
Is Used
Sudden Deaths, Heart Failure and
Paralysis Are Caused by Poison
GUS Uric and Rheumatic Acids.

The Rheumatic person is skeptical
regarding the claims Of almost any
remedy advertised as cure for Rheu-
matism and one can scarcely blame
him for being so. All the plasters and
liniments combined never actually
cured case of Rheumatism. They
may relieve it In one quarter. but it
is sure to break out somewhere else.
The only true way to cure Rheuma-
ism is to drive 1t from the system, for
as long as the Uric and Rheumatic re.
mains In the blood, one Is never entire
ly free from the trouble. This is
where the value of Uric-O as a perma'
uent cure for Rheumatism comes in.
1t seeks out the Rheumatic poison In
the blood. muscles and kidneys, rem.
| ders it inert and harmless and drives
1t out of the system. That is why
Uric-O is such an admirable and effec
| tive cure for rheumatism.
The chief reason that Uric-O is such
wonderful cure for Rheumatism is,
| that it is designed and prepared to
cure Rheumatism only. II Is COM
posed of perfect antidotes for the rheu.
matte acid poison in the system. That
is the secret of its wonderful success.
rheumatism simply cannot exist in q
person system II Uric-O Is used.
Uric-O is sold by druggists at 75c
and $i00 the bottle. but If you still
feel skeptical about its efficacy you can
test it free OF charge by cutting out
this advertisement and sending same,
together with your name and address
also the name of your druggist, to the
Smith Drug Co., 16S Smith Building

And now Charlotte man appears to
have made the remarkable historical
discovery that once upon a time there
was a county in Vermont named Char.
lotte, and straightway he makes
known. his find in a public print. So
there was Charlotte county and there
was Gloucester and a Cumberland
and an Albany county. too, or, rather,
part of Vermont was included In Al
bany county, New York. But the best
Of 1t is that, for the most part, the Yer.
monters themselves. living right here
on the spot. declined to recognize the
authority that established those count
les in their state. whether they would
or no. And thereby hangs tale.-St.
Adams Messenger.
And this is not the only interesting
story that the early history of Vermont
affords. We are glad to note too that
more attention is being paid to Yer.
mont history in the Vermont public
schools than ever before. Some of us
who went to school from twenty to one
hundred years ago are unable to re-
member ever being taught anything
about the early history OF our state.
What little We learned came from
the reading OF The Life OF Ethan AL.
len" and Judge Thompson's stories,
THE Green Mountain Boys" and the
"Tory's Daughter"
Thanks to the untiring efforts of
Superintendent Mason S. Stone and
not little we are sure to the educa.
tional addresses of the talented editor
of the Messenger. "Conant's Yer.
mont" and the Vermont Geographical
Reader" have been introduced into the
public schools and our boys and girls
are getting an opportunity to learn
more of the history and geography OF
Vermont than their fathers ever did
or are ever likely to know.
For instance how many OF the peo
pie of Bennington, even OF those who
pay considerable attention to histori
cal matters, know that the town oil
Pownal was settled several years
ahead Of Bennington? How many o,
the citizens Of Brattleboro know tina,
1t was not in that town in 1924 but IN
Vernon several years earlier that tn,
first settlement was made in Vermont
How many Montpelier and Barre peo
pie know that that section of Vernon
was once the county of Jefferson will
a court house and Jail away up in thu
mountainous town Of Orange? How
many vermonters in general know
that Ira Allen, who we now look VI
to as one of the fathers of the common
wealth was once nearly ni0bbed be
cause Of his unpopularity growing ou
Of certain land speculati0ns.
These are only few Of the little in
cidents that punctnate the early histor
of Vermont. No state in the uniol
was born amid more travail and tribu
lation. The story Of the state is NOR
Accordingly interesting than any move
in our library.

more and talk and grusble less?
