RHEUMATISM PAIN

The exact cause of rheumatism is m
known, though It'll generally believed TO be
due TO an excess OF uric acid in the blood
1t may be also said with equal truth thar no
remedy has been found which is q specffc
in all cases. In fact the literature Of rheu-
matism shows that there are but few drurs
which have not been given a trial In the
hands of one observer we md that certain

faction: others have found the same remedy
to be a great disappointment. All phvsi-
clans however agree that every method OF
treatment is aided by the administration of
some remedy to relieve the pain and quiet
the nervous system and Dr. ". s Schultz
expresses the opinion of thousands Of prac-
ttuoners when he says that anti-kamnfa
tablets should be given preference over al
other remedies for the relief of the pain in
ali forms of rheumatism These tablets can
be purchased in any quantity. They are
also unsurpassed for headaches. neuraIr1as

eral inspector, has issued the following
announcement:
The work for the control of hog chol-
era is to be extended on September
to include the entire state instead of
lust the 2S counties in which we have
been working during the past year.
This extension Of the work will neces-
state the redistricting of the state and
the changing of headquarters for SOME
of the inspectors. We will put in
spectors over the state in such way
that it will be possible for lis to keep
in touch with outbreaks of cholera
wherever they may occur and assist
each community in controlling the dis
ease and preventing serious losses.
We will continue the organization OF
animal industry associations as rapid
.ly as time will permit. We are an
ticipating the cooperation Of every one
who is interested in the live stock In
dustry of Iowa to assist us this year
in saving all the hogs possible that we
may thus aid in bringing the war to
speedy and successful end.
We are very grateful for the hearty
aud earnest cooperation that has been
accorded US in the twenty eight coun-
ties, and we expect from them not only
support in each county but that their
influence will also be extended to the
new territory that they may assist ma
terially In successfully inaugurating
the work there.
The cholera situation is not alarming
in any of the twenty EIGHT counties,
yet there is sufficient to cause each
county, township and school district
officer to be constantly on his guard
during the next few months and to re-
port early any outbreak Of the disease.
Announcements will be made of new
districts and the inspectors assigned
to them as readily as they can be ar
ranged. Very respectfully,
