Walter Honey,a a well-known Dover

on trial before a jury at Dover
Tuesday afternoon for the grave

Former Senator R. R. Kenney and
Henry Ridgely as counsel, and it was

charge against honey could not

math of the hearing. This was new

HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM
1t is An Internal Disease And Re-
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 a
firmer 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 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.
Rheumacide strikes the root of the dis
ease and removes it's cause. This splen-
did remedy is sold by druggists and
dealers generally at SOC. and 81 bottle.
