The Snow Hill Standard Laconic

hope that it may do some good. The
Laconic says
Fractional spirit is the curse of
many towns. 1t causes i'll feeling,
divides the people into hostile camps
and effectually prevents progress of
any kind. Doubtless each faction
sincerely wants to see the place -four
ish, but the spirit of jealousy and OPP
position is so keen that whatever one
proposes, however good the PROPOSE
ton itself may be, the other side is
sure to oppose it. The one thing
needful is to bury all such bitter and
irrational feeling out of sight, to con-
slider every plan Of betterment on its
merits, and for all to work with an
eye single to the welfare of the com
munity. Only in that way can a town
prosper,

HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM.
1t is an Internal Disease and Requires
an Internal Remedy.

The cause of rheumatism and kin
dred 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 nc
more acid will be formed in excess
i've quantities. Rheumatism is an in
ternal disease and requires an inter-
nal remedy. Rubbing with oils and
liniments will not cure, affords only
temporary relief at best, causes you
to delay proper treatment, and al
lows the malady to get firmer hold
on you. Liniments may ease the
pain, but they will no more cure the
Rheumatism than paint will change
the fibre Of rotten wood.
Science has at last discovered q
perfect and complete cure, which is
called "Rheumacide." Tested in
hundreds of cases, it has effected
the most marvellous cures; we be-
lieve it 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
well all over. Rheumacide "strikes
the root of the disease and removes
It's cause" This splendid remedy is
sold by druggists and dealers gen.
