belief that Prof. Langley's theories of So

in the years to come mankind will be able
TO forecast the weather with far greater

THE DANGER OF
RHEUMATISM

The danger of Rheumatism is in
temporizing in the treatment, or fail
ing to realize the powerful nature of
the trouble. If the blood is allowed
to remain infected with uric acid,
Rheumatism soon becomes chronic,
and then, if not checked it some
times makes complete physical
wrecks of its victims by permanently
stiffening the joints and seriously in
terfering with the bodily nerve force.
External applications will often tenn
porarily relieve Rheumatic pains, but
do not reach the blood where the
cause is located, and to depend en-
tirely upon such treatment is a very
dangerous thing to do. S. S. S.
cures Rheumatism by removing every
particle of the cause and purifying
the blood. 1t filters out of the circu-
lation every trace of the sour, in
flammatory matter, cools the acid
heated nerves, causes a natural and
healthy nourishment through the
blood to all muscles, joints and bones
and perfectly cures Rheumatism in all
its forms. S. S. S. does this great
work because it is the greatest of all
blood purifiers, acting directly on the
source of disease. Our special book
on Rheumatism and any medical ad-
vice will be sent free to all who write.

Investigations in the field of science and
art. but 1t is able to make historical and
chronological researches and statistical
inquiries with reference to physical,
moral and political subjects.
One of the things it hopes to do in the
future, if funds can be raised for that
purpose, is to make a worldwide study
of earthquakes through national seismO-

immense destruction of life and property
by large earthquakes emphasizes the inn
pOrtance of Investigations which may be
able to bring about a reduction of the
damage of these great disturbances. The
science of seismology Is in its infancy.
but enough is known to show that the
hope of the successful prediction of
earthquakes in not chimera. The ac-
curate surveys of the coast and geodetic
survey in California demonstrated that
the great earthquake of 1908 was due to
forces set up by slow movements of the
land, which probably had been going on
