Some Forms OF rheumatism Durable

rheumatism is a disease characterized
by pains in the joints and in the muscles.
Inc most common forms are: Acute and
chronic rheumatism, Rheumatic Head
aches, Sciatic Rheumatism and Lumbago
All of these types can be helped absolute
lyby applying some good liniment that
penetrates. An application of Sloan s
Llniment two or three times a day to the
affected part will give instant relief
Sloan's Liniment is good for pain, and
especially Rheumatic Pain, because 1t
penetrates to the seat of the trouble
soothes the afflicted part and draws the

W CRITICS OF POPE.
POntin Not silent on War, Cnrdi-
nal Bourne Declares.


LONDON. May 3l.-Cardinal Bourne,
preaching at the Westminster Cathedral
yesterday. condemned AZ unmerited the
criticisms on what IL alleged to be the
silence OF Pope Benedict on the war.
Cardinal Bourne cited the November
encyclical and the address to the Col
lege of Cardinals in January. showing
that the head OF the Church has not been
silent. Moreover. The Cardinal declared.
the Pope is excluded from the delibera-
tons of the nations at The Hague by
politicians n Is thus deprived OF free
action In the matter. He added that
anything in the nature Of a judicial
process In the present case is entirely
out OF the question.
The principal person TO he concerned
In such a process is recognized as a
German Lutheran, who does not recog-
nize the authority of the Holy See and
who even had tried to use it's power
TOR its own political purposes and who
privately a not concealed his hatred
OF the Roman Catholic Church.
The Pope the Cardinal added, las
shepherd and teacher Of the whole flock
hHJ to consider every nation alike. He
does not doubt that terrible things are
done. especially in Belgium. and similar
things OF hardly less gravity have been
done against Russia. II the Pope had
to speak publicly in condemnation of all
these questions they must come before
him and then he is certain not to fail
IN duty, in justice and impartiality."
