TO GET RID OF
RHEUMATISM

If we suffer with Rheumatism and
desire to get rid of it we must make
up our minds to subject our systems
to the proper course of treatment for
a while. Tie only way to cure
oneself of Rheumatism is to remove
the cause-expel :hS irritating uric
acid from the blood; every other
method of treatment has proved a
failure. S. G. S. cures Rheumatism
because it is the greatest of all blood
purifiers. This medicine goes down
into the circulation and expels every
particle of the sour, inhammatory
uric acid which Is the one great
cause of the disease. The cure can
be greatly hastened by a little care
and self denial by the patient. In
the first place do not let anything
interfere to prevent your taking
S. S. S. regularly and according to
directions; be guarded in your eat
ing, because an attack of indigestion
will always aggravatc the symptoms
of Rheumatism. Do not expose
yourself to damp and inclement
weather any more than is necessary.
When S. S. S. has had time to rid the
blood of the uric acid and strengthen
the system, then these little restric-
tions can be left off. This simple
course has cured1rany thousands of
cases Of rheumatism. Book on

BURMAN KEEPS ON
HANGING UP FINE
SPEED RECORDS
Latest Feat is on Circular
Dirt Track for Twen-
ty Miles.
BY HARRY WARD.

''Wild Bob Burman continues to
hang up worlds automobile records
with a degree of regularity that Is
amazing. Not content with having
driven his car mile in faster time than
was ever Travelled before by a human
being, he went right after all the other
records in sight, and is gradually add
ing them to his string.
A new worlds circular dirt track
record for twenty miles Is his latest
accomplishment. Driving a llO-horse-
power foreign car at Detroit yesterday,
he covered the twenty miles in seven
teen minutes fifty-seven and two-fifths
seconds, lowering the former record of
eighteen minutes four seconds. made
two years ago by Barney Oldfield. Bur-
mans average speed was fifty-three and
three-fifth seconds mile. This intrepid
driver will be a big factor in the grand
prize road race in Savannah in No
vember.
The production of REQ cars during the
1912 season will be about 5000 machines,
according to information received by
E. A. Garlock, head of the Imperial

new model is now being shown at the
Imperial salesrooms on Connecticut
avenue and is attracting much atten-
ton.

rha Sense of Smell.

'It Is the upper part Of the nose that

there is very sensitive and brown IN
color, not red, as in the lower nose.
Men are more sensitive to odors than
women. Scientific tests have shown,
believe. that, while many men can de-
tect the smell Of prussic acid even
when there IS only one part OF the
acid to two million parts o. water,
the average ;Boman fails to detect the
smell II there are less than ten parts OF
the acid. Though the white man IS
much less sensitive to odors than the
savage, a prolonged stay sn part OF
the world where smells are few puts
very fine edge on the sense Of smell.

1t IS difficult to exhaust the uses OF

only victims thereof. There is that

right to kill at least one man and one
woman every year in order to make
medicines out Of their bodies. An ac-
cidental movement Of the apothecary

to be killed He ran away, but got
