COLD WEATHER RHEUMATISM

Why should rheumatism, a disease of the blood, be worse in cold weather than in summer?
 The rheumatic poison in the blood is the predisposing cause of the disease. If you have the taint in your blood you may have rheumatism whenever the exciting cause stirs it to action. Cold weather and dampness are exciting causes of rheumatism. They excite to action some- thing already in the blood, something that you must get rid of if you would be free from rheumatism.
 What this something is, nobody knows. Not very long ago it was thought to be uric acid. Many doctors now think it 8 microscopic organism or specific bacil- lus, but they cannot find the bacillus.
 It is known fact that in rheumatism the blood becomes thin rapidly, that building up the blood relieves the rheu, matism and that there will be no return of the rheumatism as long as the condi- ton of the blood is maintained. Dr. Williams Pink Pills are recommended for rheumatism because they keep the blood rich and red and free from rheu- matic poisons.
 The free book, Building Up the Blood" tells all about the treatment. Send for a copy today to the Dr. Williams Medicine O., Schenectady, N. Y. Your own druggist sells Dr. Williams Pink Pills.

Citizens Are Happy Over Rumor of Revival of Activity At Old Berlin Iron Bridge PIant-Corr Loses Fin ger-Briefs.

unique sitaution has arisen in Nthe political aspect of the town caused by the resignation of the two demo- cratic nominees for the first and sec ond selectmen, N. l.. Beckley and Ed ward Stevens. As announced in a recent issue, both asserted that they would not accept the nominations for the offices to which they were chosen by democratic caucus. MT. Beckley said he was not present at the caucus when he was elected and, even if he should be successful at the polls, he could not spare the time from his business to fill the position. MT. ' Stevens has no desire to act in the capacity of second selectman, plead ing that he has enough work of his own to keep him busy.
 The democratic town committee met on Monday evening to consider J the resignation of MT. Bekley and after short discussion Thomas c. Pagan was chosen in his stead. As MT. Stevens had failed to send in a written resignation, it was decided to ( leave his name on the ballot. Yes 2 terday chairman W. w. Pagan of the democratic town committee called Town Clerk Shaw on the phone and requested the latter to place the name of Thomas c. Pagan on the ballot in the space occupied by that of MT. Beckley. MT. Shaw was unable to notify the secretary of state yester- day on account of the lateness of the hour when he received the request.
 Town Clerk Shaw, on opening his mail this morning, found the ballots from the states secretary and conse- uuently could not accede to the wish es of Chairman Fagan. As the affair now stands, the democrats have two men up for the important offices of selectmen, who are not at all anxious to gain the honors and a- there are three positions to be filed es,s of four sarily be elected There is no doubt candidate will resign and thus givo the republican members of the board of selectmen chance to appoint democrat who will be acceptable to them.
 From this muddle arises the fact that the present holder of the first lselectmanship, w. H. Gibney, will fill this office fer another term in spite of dem ocrats and those of his own party, who are desirious of over throwing him aket

SHAKE OFF THE CLUTCH
Of DANGEROUS RHEUMATISM


Rheumatism may mean not only the
suffering Of the present, but a com
plete breakdown from which there
may be no recovery.
1t must be borne in mind that Rheu
matism is a blood trouble and in its
early stages, is not necessarily ac
companied by pains shooting through
the joints and muscles, nor by swol
len joints, nor outward indications
beyond slight numbness in the limbs
and pains in the back. This very fact
may lull the sufferer into believing
that the disease is Of a temporary To-
cal nature, caused by slight cold or
sleeping in a draught In many cases
this is but the beginning of the dis.
ease, which, If not taken in time,
will grow rapidly worse until
the result will be Rheumatism
in its most virulent form. 1t is we'll
to sound the warning and impress
upon every one that these slight indi-
cations should be given prompt, Wig

the blood and unless eradicated
will work rapidly until 1t has contain
mated the entire system. These
symptoms, mild in the beginning,
gradually grow worse. The ailment
temporarily relieved by liniments and
blistering will finally fail to respond
to these treatments for the reason
that acid in the blood cannot be Grad
icated by them. 1t will soon cause
excruciating pains in the joints, mus
cles and limbs. 1t will cause chronic
stomach troubles, bad digestion and
torpid liver. The blood will become
so debilitated from being impregnated
with the Uric Acid poison that the
whole system is liable at any time
to break down. While not necessa-
