Odd Effect Of One Cure Through tn,
Subliminal consciousness.

A very we'll known oculist tells OF
one case where healing through the
subliminal consciousness was really a
source of embarrassment to the physi'
clan who was responsible for 1t. Sew.
eral years ago when the eye specialist
he knows about ears and Threats. toe
was studying In Vienna a young girl
was brought to the hospital to be treat.
ed for some nervous disorder. Hypno.
tism-or suggestion. as one Is asked ia
call ii these days-was used. and she
was brought under his influence by
the ringing of bell. After few
treatments she went TO sleep, or into
the unconscious and receptive state. as
soon as she heard the bell She was
speedily cured and left the hospital.
Next day she was brought unconscious.
Housed and sent away. The day after
that she was brought In again. Indeed,
for some time scarcely day passed
when she wasn't carried In limp and
unconscious. She became positive
nuisance TO the great neurologist that
had hypnotized her, and he finally sent
persons to watch her. II was found
that ON her way to work she passed n
certain church and usually was at the
door at the moment during the ccle.
bration Of the mass when the bell rang.
At It's tinkle she calmly curled up and
went TO sleep. II was necessary to
suggest to her the next time she was
brought to the hospital that no bell In
the world could have any effect on her
except the one rung In the hospital by
the neurologist. After that she went
about the city quite unaffected by the
bells and the neurologist drew breath

A Famou. Reply.

The career Of Axel Oxenstjerna IA
q proud chapter in the history of Swe-
den. In 1911 Oxenstjerna became the
chancellor OF the Swedish empire. un.
der Gustavus Adolphus. and much OF
the glory that befell the reign OF that
remarkable monarch was due TO "the
mastery diplomatic ability, great cour-
age, resource and moderation" OF his
prime minister. For ia the days OF
OxenstJerna Sweden was one OF the
powers Of Europe, and the Swedish
dominion for time extended over
prussian territory. During the entire
period Of the Thirty Years war in
Europe Sweden. through the instru.
mentality Of her mighty man In
peace" maintained an cnviable place
in the council Of nations And when

HOW TO CURE RHEUMA TISM.
Il Is An Internal Disease And Requires
An Internal Remedy.

The cause of rheumatism and kindred
diseases is an excess of uric acid in the
blood. To cure this terrible disease this
acid must be expelled and the system so
regulated that no more acid will be form
ed in excessive quantities Rheumatism
is an internal disease and requires an
internal remedy. Rubbing with Oils and
Liniments will not cure. affords only
temporary relief at best. causes you to
delay the proper treatment, and allows
the malady to get firmer hold on you.
Liniments may ease the pain. but they
will no more cure rheumatism than
paint will change the fibre of rotten
wood.
Science has at last discovered per-
feet and complete cure. which is called
"Rheumacide. Tested in hundreds of
cases. it has effected the most marvellous
cures: we believe it will cure you. Rheu-
macide "gets at the joints from the in
side." sweeps the poisons out of the
system, tones up the stomach. regulates
the liver and kidneys and makes you
well all over. Rheumacide STRIKES the
root of the disease and removes its
cause. This splendid remedy is sold
by druggists and dealers generally at
SOC. and 81 bottle. In Tablet form
at 25c. and soc. a package. Get bot

SEED OF THE VIOLET.
The Flower Is Aggressive In Spit Of
It's Boosted ModestY.

The common wild violet affords one
of the most remarkable ilu tratlons OF
the care aud apparent forcthought Of
nature In preserving species As ev-
erybody knows. the violet grows In the
shade. In pastures. woods and fields
where the grass Is abundant and long.
Ii comes up early In the spring and
flowers at time when the grass Is
most abundant and succulent. OF
course 1t Is liable to be cut down by
the scythe. but much more likely is II
to be bitten of by grazing animals.
The violets that come In the spring
either do not seed AZ all or very spar.
ingly. so that II the plant relied on its
spring flowers for seed II would prob
ably perish off the earth In very few
years.
But In the late fall the plant bears
another crop of blossoms that are new
or seen save by the professional bota.
mist. They are very small, utterly In
significant In appearance. and grow
either just at or below the surface of
the ground These are the flowers
which produce the seeds for the next
season The flowers on long stems
blooming in spring are only for show;
the hidden flowers are for use. and the
number OF seeds they bear may be
judged from the ease with which n
wild violet bed spreads.
When the seeds are ripe the pod ex.
plodes. scattering them to consider
able distance. often to ten or twelve
feet from the parent plant. so that in
spite of It's boosted modesty the violet
rot only takes care OF itself. but be-
comes troublesome aggressor. - st.
