''DR." HUNTER OF
EASTPORT GOES TO
find H|LLMAN BODY

Eastport, Me-, Jan. 25.-Dr. William
Hunter. the well-known medium of
this city, received the necessary mon
ey Friday noon from Aroostook coun-
~ and will leave Monday, via Calais
and ST. Stephen, n. B., for Houlton,
where he will be met by officials and
taken to Island Falls which town just
now figures prominently in connec-
ton with the mysterious disappear
ance of Deputy Sheriff Hillman. There
was no happier man in this Island
City than DR.. Hunter when the mail
arrived with it's precious package of
expense money, as it may mean the
starting of q bank roll later in the
month Of some $500, when the clair
Voyant expects to bring the body of
the missing ArooStook officer to light.
DR.. Hunter is not a regular NJ. D.,
or even having a great deal Of knowl-
edge Of medicine. although he has
carried this distinguished title for
many years past and would hardly
he recognized without his professional
prefix. He is past s. years of age, tall
and steady talker, but can tell for
tunes with ease and eXactness, and
having made SO many remarkable pre-
dictions and brought forth from their
Kidding places several bodies that had
been given up by the authorities, be-
fore calling in his services, it would
be no great surprise if he found the
body of Sheriff Hillman, or give tine
Aroostook authorities enough positive
evidence from his investigation about
the scene Of the supposed crime that
it may not only lead to the finding
of the missing man but also furnish
the necessary clues to run down the
man or men who committed the al
legged crime.
1t is now up to DR.. Hunter to make
good his claim as an expert in his
line and not only convince the Aroos-
took officials that he is just what he
claims to be but also to continue to
hold his present high regard in his
home town where more than the US
ual amount of interest is already be-
ing taken in his hunt for the body.
The doctor has claimed that with
in two hours after he reaches the
Sttiic VI li~ iSSlei iouS uiSdppSdId HSt,
and perhaps foul play. as it now looks
to the PASSPORT clairvoyant. he will
bring the body to the surface from
its resting place in the lake, or at
least point out the exact spot where
it can be found by the authorities. DR..
Hunter is an expert in the use Of dy-
Mantle and other explosives and may
find it necessary to set off a few car
tridges to break up the ice in the
lake before he makes his discovery,
so that the people in that section can
be prepared for quite an interesting
and exciting time.

Rheumatism is easier to avoid than

hve 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
eating too much meat and other rich
foods that produce uric acid which is
absorbed into the blood 1t is the
function of the kidneys to filter this
acid from the blood and cast it 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
through the system, eventually settling
in the joints and muscles causing stiff
ness. soreness and pain called rheuma-
tism.
At the first twinge OF rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts: put a tablespoon
full in glass of water and drink before
breakfast each morning for a week
This is said to eliminate uric acid by
stimulating the kidneys to normal &C
ton, thus Kidding the blood Of these
impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with litha and
is used with excellent results by thou

ACID STOMACHS
ARE DANGEROUS
Common Sense Advice by Dstin-
gusred Specialist.

Acid" Stomachs are dangerous because
acid initiates and iuflames the delicate
lining of the stomach. thus hindering and
preventing the proper action of the
stomach. and leading to probably nine
tcnths OF the cases of stomach trouble
from which people suffer. Ordinary
medicines and medicinal treatments are
useless in such cases. for they leave the
source of the trouble, the acid in the
stomach. Us dangerous as ever. The acid
must be ueutralized. and its formation
prevented. and the best thing for this
purpose is tcaSpoonIul of hisurated
magneSia, a simple antacid, taken in a
little warm or cold water after eating.
which not only neutralizeS the acid but
also prevents the fermentation from
which acidity is developed. Foods which
ordinarily cause distress may be eaten
with impunity if the meal is followed
with little bisurated magnesia. whc n
can be obtained from any druggist, and
should always be kept handy.-Adv.

In view OF the admitted Importance
OF the rat in the transmission OF
plague, the study of this disease
