MAKES RHEUMATISM
PROMPTLY DISAPPEAR
Chronic. Crippled-up Sufferers
Find Relief After Few Doses
of New Remedy Are
Taken.

Ii is needless to suffer any longer
with rheumatism, and be all crippled
up, and bent out OF shape with its
heart-wrenching pains, when you can
surely avoid it.
rheumatism comes from weak, in
active kidneys, that fail to filter from
the blood the poisonous waste mat
ter and uric acid; and II is useless to
rub on liniments or take ordinary
remedies to relieve the pain. This
only prolongs the misery and can't
possibly cure you.
The only way to cure rheumatism
is to remove the cause. The new dis
covery, Croxone, does this because il
neutralizes and dissolves all the poi
sonous substances and uric acid that
lodge in the joints and muscles. to
scratch and irritate and cause rheu-
matism, and cleans out and strength
ems the stopped-up, inactive kidneys,
so they can filter all the poisons from
the blood and drive it on and out of
the system.
medicine ever made for curing chron-
ic rheumatism, kidney troubles and
bladder disorders. You will find II
different from all other remedies.
There is nothing else on earth like il
1t matters not how old you are. or
how long you have suffered, il is
practically impossible to take II into
the human system without results
You will find relief from the first few
doses, and you will be surprised how
quickly all your misery and suffering

ihorized to sell it on a positive

AImshouse Inmate Dies After
Suicide Attempt to Escape
fancied Pursuers.

John Holder. an Engishman and
q pauper at the county almshouse,
suffered from an hallucination that
bloodthirsty mob was seeking him
seeking him to cut his head of.
So Just about daylight Thursday
morning Holders disordered mind
achieved a plan to balk his relentless
pursuers.
He tried 10 cut his own head off.
His weapon was a dull pocketknife.
but he nearly succeeded. He died at
Grady hospital.
Arrested as Vagrant.
Holder. who gave his age as 90 and
his home as Birmingham, England,
was arrested last December, charged
VITA vagrancy. His health appeared
shattered. and instead of sending him
10 the stockade, he was turned over
10 the county almshouse.
The last two nights Holder had ap-
peared, frightened and trembling, in
the room of NJ. II. Gallaher, assistant
superintendent
They're looking for me, he whim-
pered. "A big crowd is looking for
me. They're going to cut my head
off when they find me-
Gallaher Gained the frightened
man
Had Room No. 10.
No one can get you here" he would
assure him. This is good place TO
be. / don't believe anyone is looking
for you, but, anyway, they won't find
you in here"
And then Holder. somewhat reas-
sured, would hurry back to his own
room-it was No. (which he
shared with B. Kalligher and ]. H.
Willard.
The same thing happened Wednes-
day night, and again the assistant su-
perintendent Gained the terror
stricken Erglishman and induced him
TO 60 quietly to bed.
At o'clock Kalligher and Will

grooming, mixed with choking
sound. from Holders bed.
Throat Cut With Pocketknfe.
He was leaning over the edge of his
bed and they could see that he was
bleeding badly. Their first thought
was of hemorrhage, and they ran to
summon Gallaher and the superin-
tendent, A. @. Turner.
An examination showed that Hol-
der's throat had been cut with
pocketkrife, which lay on the bed be-
side him. DIR. Paul Mcdonald. county
physician, came in motor car from
his home at Bolton. and gave all the
attention possible, Holder having be-
come uncC nscious.

R. R. Can't Ride Free

The Railroad Commission has is
sued a ruling denying the Georgia
Railroad the right to issue free trans
portation to the stockholders and di-
rectors of the Georgia Railroad and
Banking Company, Notwithstanding
the fact that the present lessees of
the road have a contract which says
the directors and stockholders of that

The commission held that the con-
tract as calling for such transporta-
ton is a violation of an order OF the
