RHEUMATISM

Is probably the most common and the
most discouraging ailment known TO
mankind, from the fact that, being pro-
duced by seeming trivial imprudences, IT
gradually obtains so firm a hold upon
the system as to try the patience OF a
saint and to defy all ordinary methods
of treatment The average person does
not understand that rheumatism results
directly from impurities-such as excess
of uric acids. etc. in the blood. Usually
the persons whose occupations force them
TO lead inactive or indoor lives, or are
so situated that the obtaining of proper
exercise or proper food is extremely
difficult are the victims OF rheumatism.
Under such conditions the liver and kid

communicated to the blood and through

it is necessary not only to alleviate the

The symptoms of rheumatism are:

GEORGE HAYNER.

In the death of George Hayner
which occurred at his home at KnowI
ton, Saturday morning the 22d, brief
mention of which was made in the
columns of this paper last week,
Knowlton lost one of its oldest
settlers. Mr.. Hayner was born in
Erie, Pa, Dec. 13, 1S49. When a
child Of three years, his parents, Steve
Hayner and wife, came TO Wisconsin
and settled in Fond du Lac. When
seventeen years of age he came to
knowlton and hired out to work in
| the woods for V. Brooks, who was a
leading lumberman in this section at
that time. In 1881 he was united in
marriage TO Huron DuBuy, who was
a daughter of John DuBuy, who for
years conducted trading post at
what is known as DuBuy's landing
on the Wisconsin river, which place
has always been popular, historically,
especially among the older settlers.
OF this union five children were born,
one dying in infancy and Douglas,
Earl and Mrs. L. c. Zigler. of
knowlton, and Walter of Superior.
As humorist the deceased had few
equals throughout this section, origin
al in all of his sayings, he was always
welcomed in any gathering, either
young or old people, He was a resi-
dent of KnOwltOn and immediate
vicinity for ~ years, continuously
ana every man, woman and child, in
the community mourns his taking
away. The funeral services were
held from his late residence Tuesday
afternoon and were largely attended.
Rev. R. Evans of Wausau otficiated,
and his remarks were full of kindness
and comforting to the bereaved fam
lily. Mrs. G. G. Knoller of Dancy,
with the Rev. gentleman, sang Some
Time Wen Understand" and as solos:
Face to Face" and Good Bye Sweet
Day" The floral offerings were
many and beautiful. The pail bearers
were NJ. H. Altenburg, Lawrence
Breitenstein, Frank Wilcox, Ed
Beedle, Chas. Lovene and Jos. Hib-
bard. The remains were laid to rest
in Knowlton cemetery by the side of
his parents who had gone before many
years ago. The bereaved widow and
family have the sympathy of the en-
tire community in the locality where
the deceased was so many years
resident.
