Pe-ru-na for Rheumatism

Fourth, should there be q catarrhal
condition of the stomach or bowels
rheumatism is almost inevitable. A
mucous membrane affected by catarrh
cannot perform It's function proper
ly. either in furnishing the appropri-
ate digestive juices or in absorbing
the product of digestion. Pe-ru-na,
therefore, is an excellent remedy, as
IL tends to remove the catarrh and to
produce a normal condition OF the
mucous membrane
Pe-ru-na Protects Against rheumatism.
A remedy that will do these things
does protect the system against rheu-
metism. Even after the rheumatism
has begun it is helpful if not abso-
lutely necessary that such a remedy
be taken, in order to prevent the fur
tner accumulation of the morbid mate
rails in the blood.
This is the way | should treat rheu-
matism. | do not regard Pe-ru-na as
specific for rheumatism. Not by any
means. ] would not call 1t a rheu-
matt cremedy But it is a remedy for
digestion, assimilation and excretion.
When these functions are properly
stimulated and regulated the cause Of
rheumatism is removed, and in this
way much benefit is derived,
Should any one afflicted with
chronic rheumatism or acute rheuma-
tism begin the use Of Pe-ru-na, after
they have taken bottle or so, IL
they wish they can consult me.

There may be still living in Rock
Island some Of the old timers" who
remember the great food OF '6S, when
the gorging OF the outgoing ice com
pletely damned the river at this point,
resulting in the town being complete
~ flooded under several feet of water
and causilg a loss Of thousands OF
dollars worth OF property. II will be
recalled that at g O'Clock in the even,
ing. a mass of ice swept down upon
the old railroad bridge on the Iowa
side of the island. add collided with
such force as to bodily move the sec
ond pier from the Iowa shore dis
lance Of Is feet. Other piers were
damaged and many chords of the su-
persuucture broken. A photograph Of
the bridge, showing the damage
wrought by the food has been receiv-
ed at The Argus Office, and hence its
reproduction and an account of the
inundation from the Argus files of
March IL, 1865. will be Of interest. It
follows:
The oldest inhabitant" has never
witnessed such an alarming flood in
Rock Island as occurred here Tuesday
night Al about 3 O'Clock that after
noon the ice. having previously brok-
on up and been mo ling for awhile,
gorged across the whole river. from a
point near the Rodman mills. and
stopped forming a pretty close dam
and backing up the water to such an
extent al TO run il over the Coal Val

points. and TO overflow the lowlands
lying adjoining the river. besides fore
ing heavy streams up Madison street

Rock River streets. The situation then
remained unchanged until about
o'clock in the evening. giving 40 cause

 The housekeeper who wishes to know the exact quantity and quality of practically any food product that she uses need only consult the nine teenth report of the dairy and food commissioner for the two years end- ing Sept 30, 1912, to find all the in formation she wishes.
 The report consists largely of tables showing the weights of food products sold Tn package form and the results Of analyses of such products as milk. vinegar, turpentine apparently a rood" for the purpose of this report -temperance drinks, and .confection- cry. Furthermore the products are designated by their names, and, in the case Of milk and butter, the names Of the producers and dealers are given
 In regard to the inspection of dairies the report reads:
 Under Chapter 137 of Puhlic Acts or 1907, as amended by Chapter 1S9 of Public Acts of 1911 the depart ment has examined 5.366 dairies, or places where cattle, dairy stock or other domestic animals are kept with in this state for the purpose of ascer- tainfng whether any unsanitary con dftIons# exist which would be liable 10 affect the product of such farm or dairy. Seven hundred and forty eight Of these places were found to be in such an unsanitary condition that the occupants were notified to remove or abate those unsanitary conditions within the next 30 days or the sale of any product of such dairy or place would be prohibited, and after said 30 days had expired and a second in spection had been made there were found to be 20 who had refused or neg lected to comply with the order to clean up, and the sale of any milk products was prohibited until such time as they had fully complied with the previous order Of this number e Ad caIl ing his product
 Twenty-two samples of print but ter were examined by the commis- sioner.S inspector, and the product of three manufacturers was found ta he short weight. In number of cases what was sold as butter proved on analyses to be oleomargarine and in one case renovated butter sailed under false cOlors.
 Sixteen pages of the report are de- voted to table showing the results Of analyses of samples of milk bought of dealers in all parts of the state The specific gravity, the total solids. the amount of fats. and of serum is shown, together with a statement a $ to whether the milk was passed or was found to be watered. FTfty-seyen dealers were found to be selling wa tered milk. and one added insult to injury by watering skinned milk. The names of the dealers are given iR the report.
 The dealers in olive oil make a good showing. Tn only one case was cotton seed oil found in what was sold as olive oil
 More than 10e prosecutions were made. many Of which have resulted in fines varying from s1 to $25 being levied, besides costs, Whie4l9 oftantimes exceeded the amount Of the fine The expenses or the inspector and lis aep- uties including salaries, amounted to s2D25g45; S25o.95 was received for oIeomargarine signs.
