HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM
Il Is An Internal Disense And Re-
quires An Internal Remedy.


quires 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
formed In excessive quantities. Rheuma-
tism 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 treat
ment, and allows the malady to get q
flrmer hold on you. Liniments may ease
the pain, but they will no more cure
Rheumatism than paint will change tho
fiber Of rotten wood.
Science has at last discovered q per-
feet and complete cure, which Is called
Rheumacide. Tested in hundreds Of cases.
1t has effected the most marvellous cures;
we believe 1t will cure you. Rheumacide
gets at the joints from the inside, sweeps
the poisons out of the system, tones up
the stomach, regulates the liver and
Kidneys and makes you we'll all over.
Rheumaclde strikes the root Of the dis
ease and removes It's cause. This splen-
did remedy is sold by druggists and

RESERVOIR IS READY
TO DELIVER WATER
Enterprise Undertaken by Jesse
Knight and Others VIII Supply
Many Customers.
Especial to The Herald-Repuhlican.,

Provo, March 27.-The Provo Reservoir
company, which takes water through
Provo river from lakes at the head Of
Provo canyon, and other sources has
everything in readiness to begin the de-
livery of water to users on the high
lands of Provo bench within two or three
weeks, so the system of the company
will irrigate 5000 to 5000 acres when COM
pleted, and will extend north as far as
Pleasant Grove. And farther in an in
direct way, as it is expected people in the
north end of the county, around AmeTi-
can Fork and in that section will make
an exchange with people in the Pleasant
Grove and Manila districts, whereby the
American Fork people will secure an adj
dltonal supply of water from American
Fork river, and the Pleasant Grove and
Manila people, who own the water, re-
ceive Provo Reservoir company water A
great advantage of this system
Is that it Will irrigate lands that
have not heretofore been under canals
A number of contracts between the com
pany and water users have been filed
with the county clerk the last few days.
The cost of the water is S75 an acre. Ten
annual payments are provided for, and
at the end of ten years the system will
belong to the users, the plan being very
similar to that of the United States re-
clamation service.
The undertaking has been put through
by Jesse Knight, Joseph r. Murdoch,
Joseph B. Keller and other enterprising
and public spirited citizens.

FOUR SERVICES HELD
IN FIRST METHODIST
Sir Knight Templars Attend in Body
and Hear Eloquent
Sermon.

The four services at the First Meth
odist Episcopal church yesterday were
all record breakers for attendance and
quality Of service rendered The morn
ing service was intensified by the at
tendance of the Sir Knights Templar
in a body. They listened to a strong
sermon on Proofs of Immortality"
DR.. Short did not discuss the grounds
for immortal belief according to the
scriptural custom. He based his entire
argument for immortality upon the tes-
tlmony Of nature. science, the incom-
.pleteness of this life and the necessity
OF another life in order to permit the
soul to reach its fullest and largest ca
pac1ty. For text the preacher asked
the question which Job asked: IF a
man die, shall he live again? 20
The speaker said: THE question is
racial. Men love life. The beauty OF
the world, the association of friend
ships the desire of service, the desire tC
serve-all enrich life But these are
never satisfied. The nature of man still
hungers for more of these. Whose life
however good, has been completed? Is
all this longing of soul and yearning OF
spirit to be dashed to pieces against
that old enemy called Death?
Science and nature and the incom-
pleteness of life say no. God must OF
necessity be the greatest economist. His
very nature requires it, and to support
