KINDS OF RHEUMATISM

In popular language the word
rheumatism In a term that covers
multitude OF Ills OF which pain Is
the chief symptom.
Articular rheumatism, inflamm@
tory rheumatism and rheumatic
fever are all names for the same
disease. Muscular rheumatism al.
fects the muscles and does not
spread from one spot TO an
other like inflammatory rheuma-
tism. Lumbago II a form OF mus
cular rheumatism.
Some people have rheumatism
every winter especially those peo-
pie who inherit a rheumatic ten
dency. They will continue to have
recurring attacks until the blood Is
built up 20 strength sufficient to
overcome the rheumatic poison.
External applications and drugs
that simply relieve the pain are use
less. DIR. Williams Pink pills build
up the blood and really correct the
trouble.
With the poisons In the blood
there is continual combat be
tween the health forces and the dis
ease. When the rheumatic poison
prevails the blood gets thin rap
idly. When the blood Is made rich
and red by Or. Williams Pink Pills
the poisons are destroyed and ex.
PEELED.
The free booklet Building Up
the Blood" tells the whole story and
the diet book What 10 Eat" will
be sent on request by the DR.. vii.

Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt has done well to remind the country of the serious shortage of men .n the navy now that the question of 2HF unpreparedness for defense has been raised conspicuously by Repre- sentative Gardner
 owing to the ll-considered policy af congress, which has been wasting millions yearly in pork barrel projects, the navy has not enough men properly to man the ships in being. The same policy has been followed as to the mobile army. senator Warren, chair man of the senate committee on mili- taty affairs. recently has said: In the coast artillery. where men should work the guns in at least three reliefs, doubt if we have men enough 10 man the guns in one relief We have the deep water harbors fortified, but there is nothing to prevent an eXpeditionary force from coming ashore anywhere if il elude or cripple the navy
