painter, was once asked what he mixed

Rheumatism cannot live long in a
body that is cared for by a head full
Of brains. Brains or common sense
is an avowed enemy to rheumatism.
The poisons with which every rheu-
matte body is filled, arise in the kid
neys, or stomach or blood. This
poison goes into the blood. Il is
stronger than the ordinary force of
the blood. It lodges in the muscles
and joints. It gathers around nerves
and presses upon them. It infiames
the flesh. Pain comes and remains

reduced schedule of prices cover
ing the entire Pennsylvania line
is effective October LIST, 1916.
Notwithstanding the average
high level of raw materials, the

policy.
