Readers Who Suffer Will Find
Prompt Relief With This Mixture

Recent hospital reports show that the
dread disease. rheumatism, is steadily
inc ising throughout the country. All
known means of relief are being sug-
gested TO save the great amount of suf-
fering this winter, especially among
those who are not in a position TO pack
up and visit the noted health resorts to
be treated, Recent tests prove rheums-
tism not exactly a disease in itself. but a
severe symptom of kidney trouble. a
condition caused by clogged up pores OF
the eliminative tissues in the kidneys
which fail to filter the poisonous waste
matter and uric acid from the blood, per-
hitting these substances to remain in
the veins and decompose, usually settling
about the joints and muscles, causing the
intense pain, swelling and stiffness OF
rheumatism.

GROWTH OF CREDIT CURRENCY.

Statistics recently published by the
comptroller of the currency emphasize
the magnitude and Importance of the
part played in the financial and in
dustrial work of the nation by credit
currency. Between 1900 and 1907,
according to the comptroller's report,
the volume of bank deposits increased
So per cent, while If the savings de-
posits were deducted the deposits in
the commercial banks and trust COM
panios, representing the volume Of
money devoted to commercial business,
showed an increase Of ~ per cent. In
the same period the increase of the
volume of money in circulation was
Al per cent. In other words, the use
of credit in the country's business
transactions has been growing much
more rapidly than the volume of actual
currency. The Importance of credit is
even more s%trikingly illustrated by the
following figures, showing the per

manly, but the enthusiast to whom 1t

with WHOM the latter must have con-
ferred followed the letter in the press
dispatches with certain statements
that will not greatly aid Governor
Johnson's ambitions. He said, for ex-
ample, that the friends of the governor
were hopeful of getting part of the
Minnesota delegation, and they recall
ed the fact that in 1892 Grover Cleve-
land did not have the united New
York delegation back of him, yet was
nominated. And the correspondent

that the forces that were behind Cleve-
land at that time are today behind
Johnson.
The forces behind Cleveland prior to
the convention of 1892 sent to that
convention a multimillionaire, now
dead, but whose name has been sadly
furnished by recent revelations in New
York finance. The forces behind Cleve-
land during the election were the
forces of plutocracy, the Wall street
and the railroad multimilIionaires. The
effect of this support was that in the
first congressional election after Cleye-
lands Inauguration the Democratic
party was beaten as it had not been
beaten for long before nor was beaten
afterward until the forces behind
Cleveland rendered the valuable serv-
ice Of getting behind Judge Parker.

President Roosevelt warmly commend
ed the principle of a bill of which Per-
~ Belmont is the most able promoter
for giving publicity to all campaign
contributions. That bill is before con-
gress, or, to be more accurate, is in
committee, but when the president sent
his latest message asking that certain
things be done before the end of this
most dilatory session the national pub
licity bill was not one of the things he
mentioned.
But he did urge the creation of a
tariff commission. which should sit
during the summer and fall and take
evidence and gather statistics bearing
upon that famous revision of the tariff
which for some ten years has always
been going to be made Immediately
after the next election.
