HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM.
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
temperory 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 a bottle. In Tablet form
at 25c. and SOC. a package. Get bot

The Maternal System Of Descent and
Female Supremacy.


Professor Thomas, In Sex and So.
cicty.' tells us that the maternal sys-
TEN OF descent Is found In all parts of
:he world where social advance stands
at q certain level. and the evidence
warrants the assumption that every
group which advances to culture
state passes through this STAGE" says
the Duchess OF Marlborough In the
North American Review.
"In Australia and Africa, with few
exceptions, descent was formerly reck-
oned In the female line: on the conti-
nent of America. In China and Japan
traces of this system are found. and
In parts Of India It is still In full force.
Among the American Indian tribes
and the aborigines of Australia mis-.
sionaries and ethnologists are able to
bear witness that the women were
the great power among the clans as
everywhere else
"As natural consequence laws OF
rank and property follow the strlctest
maternal line, and women had In some
eases the right to dismiss their hus-
bands. keeping the children to succeed
themselves and be members OF their
own elan.
And after the establishment Of the
male system the women still held prop.
erty--a survival from maternal times.

husband was Begone. for ! Will no

earth In solar eclipse. The sun and
earth revolve in the same plane Of the
ecliptic. and the moon. being but slight

sometimes all three In the same line.

Winter.

In winter nature ceases from her la
bors and prepares for the great change.
The wind sweeps through the great
forest with sound like the blast Of a
trumpet. The dry leaves whirl In
eddies through the air. A fretwork
Of hoary frost covers the plain. The
stagnant water In the pools and bitches
Is frozen into fantastic figures. In the
low hanging clouds the sharp air. like
a busy shuttle. weaves her shroud of
snow. There Is a melancholy and con.
tinual roar In the tops Of the tall
pines like the roar Of cataract. II
is the funeral anthem Of the dying
year.-Longfellow.
