THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK.

In the celebration of its fftieth anniversary
the First National Bank doubtless feels sin
cere gratitude for the success that has been
vouchsafed 1t. Having grown to a position
Where Its resources are numbered In the mil
lions and Its customers In the thousands, the
officers of the bank no doubt feel exceedingly
gratihed at the result of labors expended in
building up the bank
Richmond has many institutions of which TO
boast She is particularly proud Of her banks
and their achievements in putting the city in
the front rank of financial centers. And the
First National is foremost among them.

URIC ACID IN MEAT

Rheumatism Is easier to avoid than
to cure, states we'll known authority
We are advised to dress warmly; keep
the feet dry: avoid exposure: eat less
meat, but drink plenty Of good water.
Rheumatism is a direct result Of eat
ing too much meat ana other rich
foods that produce uric acid which Is
absorbed into the blood. It is the func-
ton Of the kidneys to filter this acid
from the blood and cast 1t out In the
urine; the pores Of the skin are also
a means of freeing the blood Of this
impurity. In damp and chilly cold
weather the skin pores are closed thus
forcing the kidneys to do double work.
they become weak and sluggish and
fail to eliminate the uric acid which
keeps accommodating and circulating
thru the system, eventually settling in
the joints and muscles causing stiff
ness, coreness and pain called rheuna-
tis1n.
At the first twinge Of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces Of Jad Salts; put tablespoon
full in glass Of water and drink before
breakfast each morning for q week.
This is said to eliminate uric acid by
stimulating the kidneys to normal ac-
ton, thus Kidding the blood Of these
impurities.
= Jad Salts Is inexpensive. harmless
and Is made from tho acid of grapes
and lemon Juice, combined with lithia
and Is used with excellent results by
thousands OF folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here you have pleas

The vastness OF the congressional IL
brary Is shown by a recent report to
congress In which 1t Is stated that the
library contains 2,125.255 books. 1885,

and pieces of music and 360.4s4 prints.
The books added in the previous year
amounted to 136.720 and an extension
Of the library is asked for with racks
for 100000 moro books. The library
has an average of 2,4b4 visitors and
readers during each day OF the year,
and yet the place seems never crowd
ed at any one time. Since the location
Of the Union Station on its present
site many travellers with an hour to
