HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM
It Is An Internal Disease 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-
tisrn 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
frIner hold on you. Liniments may ease
the pain, but they will no more cure
rheumatism than paint will change the
fiber of rotten wood.
Science has at last discovered a 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. 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.
Rheumaeide strikes the root of the dis.
ease and removes it's cause. This splen-
did remedy is sold by druggists and

Prnaress Of The HoOAWOrm Campaign.

The progress of the campaign
against hookworm disease in North
Carolina is splendidly shown by the
Growth in the number who have
sent specimens Of feces to the State
Laboratory Of Hygiene. During
the year of 1910 the growth was as
follows:
First quarter, 70 examinations.
Second quarter, ass examinations.
Third quarter, 2, 421 examinations.
Fourth quarter, 4,972 examina-
tons.
January and February. 1911, 5,47S
examinations.
These examinations represent
school children more largely than
anv other class, however the State
.. militia, large number OF college
students, and other adults are in
cluded. Many physicians treat the
disease without having a laboratory
examination made. 1t is learned
from those in the State who are
treating the disease about one-half
the active practitioners, that about
49, 600 cases have already been treat
ed. The Hookworm Commission,

POULTRY PRIZES
 ID THIS CITY
ORLANDO WILLIAMS BEAT THE WHOLE FIELD IN THE BAN-
 NEH PRIZE EXHIBITS.
President Westcott of the Arkansas State Fair Was close, and Fig
 ured in All the Contests.

Poultry prizes awarded at the pou.- try show in Little Rock attracted attention to Garland county when Or lando Williams of this city won the largest percentage of any of the ex- hibitors, and his display was gener- ally regarded as the best that had ever been made at state poultry display.
 President Harry M. Westcott, of the Arkansas State Fair, was com petitive exhibitor. and while he did not win distinctive honors, yet the show was so classy that he regarded 1t some distinction in that he was but three-fourths away from the first in all the contests in which he en- tered.
 The fact that Garland county is attracting attention in the poultry world is credited to the Arkansas State Fair. The state fair brought these ideas, and they have found lodgement with people who determin- ed to raise as fine poultry and as fine stock as any other section Of the country, and some of the trials were so productive of results that first premiums are rather easy for To- cal fanciers.
 It is stated that Garland county now has better exhibits of pountry, hogs and cattle than any other coua- ty in the state, and that 1t also is about to receive special consideration as the place of raising mules and horses.

 Where patient is much weakened snd crises may be expected Tn from five to ten days. probably not more than ten to 20 per cent recover. And where physicians aid with efforts to restrain fatal symptoms this percent age is increased. In cases where patients have from thirty to sixty days of life the efficiency is very much higher.
 Where patients do not wait until bed-rldden probably three-fourths yield
 And in cases that take the new emollient treatment eel the appear ance of the disease nearly nine out of ten respond.
 Albumen Casts and jropsy do not prevent recovery. The point is that the Renal inflammation should be attacked before the heart and physi cal system are broken down.
