RHEMATISM
Physician Believes . Genuine Remedy for the Disease Has
 Been Found.

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

 Williams, who is to climb the Wau- regan Hotel on Monday, Oct. 18th, will probably present one of the most thrilling exhibitions ever seen in Nor wich. Nothing seems to daunt the nu- man fly when he leaves the sidewalk and starts his ascent upward. Ills goes up big marble pillars with the ease of spider on it's web. When the human fly gets up high enough his program of thrills begins to start in earnest. First, he will be seen hang ing by one finger and doing the most daredevil stunt imaginable.
 Williams will make his climb here under the auspices of the Morning Bulletin. He will start promptly. rain or shine at 7:30 D. m. next Monday. After he has made a brief address and told all about what he thinks we should do to assist Uncle Sam in win ming the war he will take up a collec- ton and donate 30 per cent. of all he collects to the Norwich Defense Council for War Work. He is assist ed in making these collections by ladies from New York interested In as. sisting him to raise money in this way.
