CONQUERS RHEUMATISM
IN A VERY FEW DAYS

IT is an established fact that one
half teaspoonful of Rheuma taken
once a day has driven the pain and
agony from thousands of racked, Grip
pied and despairing rheumatics during
the last five years.
Powerful and sure; quick acting, vet
harmless; Rheuma gives blessed relief
almost at once. The magic name has
reached every hamlet in the land and
there is hardly a druggist anywhere
who cannot tell you of almost mar
Vicious cures.
If you are tortured with rheuma-
tism or sciatica, you can get a bottle
of Rheuma from Wilfred F. Root or
any druggist for not more than 80
cents, with the understanding that if
it does not completely drive rheu-
matte poisons from your system

Wilt is a fatal disease. Infected vines

big congregation is more power

He was elected Alderman from

he introduced, at the request of
State Auditor Dunn, a bill Gre
ating the State Board of Control,

Mr.. Snyder is also the author of
the Torrens Land Title law and
the Probation law for juvenile
offenders. He was an earnest
supporter of the bill increasing
the Gross Earnings Railroad tax
from three per cent to four per
cent at the time it was lost in

While in the City Council he

that he would make an excellent

that he may be induced to make

not be a candidate to succeed

such as Mr.. Snyder should be
selected by the people of the
