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

RheIu1a. the wonderful rheumatism remedy sold by Lee & OSgood Co. and all good druggists, gives quicker and more lasting relief than other rmedies costing many times as much.
 Rheuma passes the deadly poisonous secretions into the bowels and kidneys, from which they are quickly thrown off in a natural healthy way
 Read what a reputable physician says about Rheuma: T have made a most careful investigation of the for muIa employed in the manufacture of Rheunaa and I heartily recommend it as a remedy for all forms of rheuma- tism. I find Rheuma far in advance of the methods generally employed in the treatment of rheumatism, and all together different in composition from the remedies usually prescribed"-Dr. Lyons.
 This should give any sufferer from rheumatism confidence to try Rheuma.

THE SILENT .SZANDERER

By WILLIAM F. KIRK lie speaks no i'll of any man.
 Nor tries to slur maidens name. He cannot stoop, gosSipS can, To cry aloud a brothers shame. But when an absent friend is slurred He dare not rise and say one word. Who hears a friend by islander stung- Without one move, one angry stir. With no defense quick on his tongue Is but a silent slanderer.
 A friend is one who, night or day, Will fight your fight when you're away. You are no friend unless you do
 Your all to shield a friends fair name; He is no sterling friend to you
 Who will not swiftly do the same For if he will not check a slur, He is a silent slanderer.
