RHEUMATISM
DRIVEN FROM
THE BLOOD
A Remedy Which Assists Nature
Produces Cure Which Is
Permanent As This
Case Proves.

Every sufferer from rheumatism
wants to be cured and to stay cured.
The prospect of the return of the
same rheumatism every year is not
attractive to anybody who has gone
through one siege. Most treatments
aim simply to keep down" the rheu-
matte poisons in the blood. The tonic
treatment with DR.. Williams Pink
Pills has proved by hundreds of cures
that it builds up the blood to a point
that enables it to cast out these
poisons through the regular channels
Of excretion. the bowels, kidneys and
the skin. When this is done the rheu-
matism is permanently cured and as
long as the blood is kept pure and
rich the patient will be immune from
attacks of rheumatism.
Mrs. W. H Amburg is the wife of
a prosperou farmer living on X. f.
d. No. 8, Lancaster n. NJ, and about
four miles from. that city. she owes
her recovery from rheumatism to this
treatment and her statement should
interest every sufferer.
81 have no idea what brought on
the rheumatism she says, but l
suffered agonies from 1t for about two
years and for five months of that time
my conditions was very serious. l
had severe pains through my hips, in
my limbs and in the small of my back
so that 1 was unable to stand up
straight. I felt weak and respondent
and lost in weight.
1.-TWO Lancaster doctors treated
me but 1 didn't get any better and as
had seen DIR. Williams Pink Pills
mentioned in our home newspaper,
stopped using all other medicines and
began taking them. After had
taken the first box 1 felt that they
were benefiting me and after a few
more boxes had been used l was en-
tirely free from rheumatism. This
was two years ago and 1 have had no
return of the trouble. 1 have recon-
mended DR.. Williams Pink Pills to
my friends and know of one casee in
which they brought great benefit"
With the fact in mind that the rheu-
matism is in the BLOOD 1t Will readily
be seen how useless it is to try to cure
II by rubbing liniments on the skin. Elk
oornal applications may give tempo
Fary relief from pain but to cure rheu-
matism you must treat it through the
blood. DIR. Williams Pink Pills have
cured more cases of rheumatism than
any other prescription and no sufferer
should allow any prejudice to stand
In the way of giving these pills a
thorough trial.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
ali druggists, or will be mailed, post
paid, on receipt of price, so cents per
box; six boxes for $3.50, by the Dr.

NATIONAL LEAGUE RACE.
Giants Have Five More Games. Pitts
burg Four and Chicago Three.

New York, Oct. 2.-Interest in thu
stirring fight for the National league
baseball championship is more acute
than ever today, following the develop
ments of yesterday which reduced New
Yorks lead to two points over Chicago
and Pittsburg. The New Yorks have
five more games to play, two with
Philadelphia and three with Boston
and must win them all, unless Pitts
burg and Chicago meet with unexpect-
ed reverses, to win the pennant out
right. Chicago and Pittsburg play
double headers today while the New
Yorks play single game. II the Chi
Cages and Pittsburgs win both their
games and the New Yorks score also,
all three will be tied for first place, al
though the New Yorks will be less
than half point behind on strict per-
centage figures.
Chicago has three games to play, two
with Cincinnati today and one with
Pittsburg Sunday at Chicago. If the
Chicagos win all three, New York car,
lose one out their remaining FIVE and
still tie with Chicago. Pfttsburg has
four games to play, three with st.
Louis and one with Chicago. If the
Pittsburgs win all four. the New Yorks
must win all five to hold their place at
the top. This leaves the proteste
game between New York and Chicago
out Of consideration.

WIRELESS MAST.
Is Given Successful Test at Army
Maneuvers.

Camp Atascadero, Cal. Oct. .
Military movements by an army of
over three thousand regular troops,
gathered at the posts and garrisons
of California and Arizona, were re-
sumed early today among the oak
covered hills and the broad grain
fields selected by the government for
the camp. The maneuvers are
the most extensive undertaken on
this coast in time of peace. The
preliminary tactics of yesterday
brought into action artillery, cavalry,
infantry. engineers, hospital and sig
nal corps.
Under the direction of Lieutenant
Beck, chief signal officer, the signal
corps men tried out the new sixty
foot wireless mast, which may be set
up or lowered by one man. Communi-
cation between points four miles apart
was easily established and a test to-
day will be made at a distance of ten
miles. The hospital corps engaged in
drills with a new double litter, which,
operating on two wheels, can carry
two wounded men and enables the at
tendants to cover the ground more
quickly than when encountered with
the stretcher.

BRAZIL AND COTTON TRADE.
Tariff Is Causing Rapid Extension OF
Manufacturing Plants.

Washington, Oct. 1.-The possibili-
ties of the American trade in Brazil,
according to report of Consul Cen
eral George E.. Anderson of Rio de
Janeiro, are indicated in the fact that
when trade in American cottons in
other portions of the world or at home
grows slack, there Is an increase in
the American exports to Brazil. Cot
ton goods are popular in Brazil. But
because of the failure to look after
business, meet tariff requirements and
follow up advantages once gained the
trade is precarious and the consul gen.
eral adds .that,,it extension is doubt
full. 1sfs-- ll>.~-l.e ase.
The operations of Brazil's tariff in
favor of Brazilian cotton factories
continues the principal feature of the
cotton trade in the republic. Cotton
factories there are extending rapidly
and importa tions of certain lines of
goods decreasing correspondence. Cot
ton manufacturing is dominating Bra
zil's entire industrial life.

ELEvENs ARE LIGHTER.
The Majority of the Teams Resign
Themselves to New Rules.

Chicago. Oct. 2.-The opening of
the football 3 season in the middle
west will take place tomorrow.
AS a. rule the teams will be lighter
than those of last year, as the
majority of the coaches have resigned
themselves to the new game. and have
given the candidates with speed. agility
the preference over the heavy and
slower men. There will be more for
ward passes and on-side kicking, as
these plays were among the first
given to the teams. Punting and field
goal kicking also will be an important
factor. The coaches have spent much
time in the efforts to develop a man
who can boot the ball between the
uprights.
