RHEUMATISM
Physiofan Believes a Genuine Remedy for the Disease Has Been Found.


 Rheuma, the wonderful rheumatism remedy sold by Lee & Osgood and all druggists, gives quicker and more lasting relief than other remedies cost ing many times as much,
 Rheuma passes the deadly poisonous secretions into the bowels and kid neys. from which they are quickly thrown off in natural, healthy way.
 Read what a reputable physician says about Rheunna: 'I have made a most careful investigation of the form uIa employed in the manufacture of Rheuna, and I heartily recommend it as remedy for all forms of rheurna- = tism. I find Rheuma far in advance of the methods generally employed in the treatment of rheumatism. and al- together different in composition from the remedies usually prescribed."-Dr. Lyons.
 This should give any sufferer from 'rheumatiszn confidence to try Raaeuma.

 Producer Totten, who is making 1 moving pictures for a standard firm, with scenes in Westerly and vicinity, wanted to have an exterior scene en- acted in front of the Broad street Christian church He said the struc- ture would answer for an ed type of colonial courthouse, and he only want ed to use the front entrance and the lawn. There was not much opposition but when MT. Totten said he ;-gso wanted to put sign over the entle nee to read County Sheriff's Office" Min lster Dutton put the quietus upon the proposition, as he did not propose to permit the church to be designated as courthouse and sherif's office, even for a brief period, fearing that the designation might become permanent It is understood a local photographer had planned to picture the placarded church to be used on postal cards. The scene was enacted at the Central fire house.
