Rheumatism So
Bad He Could
Not Dress Self
Tried All Kinds of Remedies
But Found a Few Drops
of Iron in Water Each
Day Brought Relief
Saws Acid Iron Mineral Is Cheap
er, Better Way.

Rheumatism, rheumatism, and
then some more rheumatism seemed
to be my lot in life. 1t would attack
me at unexpected times and almost
knock me out for good and all"
says L. w. Sours. of Luray, Va.
For two years l wasn't able 10
do anything and couldn't even dress
myself, and at night simply tossed
and rolled with agony and, due to
the kidney trouble, I reckon, my
dreams were ftful and bad and very
often I would wake up in the middle
of the night and when / would try
to turn over I couldn't. I would
struggle and the pain would become
almost uubearable and my breathing
would become difficult. Anyone
who has suffered as l did, can realize
my gratitude and appreciation OF
Acid Iron Mineral. thought it
might help me and I used one soc.
bottle and two 81 bottles before l
could see much change, buS on the
third dollar bottle I felt like new
man and can do a good days work
and rest we'll nights"
II urge people to take this iron
medicine wherever l go because 1t
helped me where great many other
remedies failed and after trying
four, and continued to get
worse gave, up being treated and
found relief in AIM. / want to
call special attention of folks to the
fact that when they take Aim DO
not stop with one bottle but be sure
to continue and you will get relief
for I know what it will do," declared
L. w. Sours, Luray, Va, 4. +. u.

rheumatism, when it grips the
system, chases around through the
veins, sometimes in one spot and
then in another. 1t must be re-
moved from the blood. 1t needs
the help of iron to enrich, purify
and cleanse the blood and Acid Iron
Mineral, in it's highly concentrated
form, testing over 10 degrees specific
gravity makes the ideal remedy.
All druggists have it.

Garrett and CaIhoun's Weekly
Cotton Letter.

International news effecting the
cotton market during the past week
has not improved. On the other
hand both the Russian and Italian
situation have reached an acute
stage. AS a result of these unfavor-
able developments the stock market,
which Is more or less correlatlve
with financial conditions as far as
they effect things at the moment,
has gone through period of extreme
weakness with almost state OF
decentralization on that exchange.
Notwithstanding these adverse
influences cotton has held remark
ably steady and while fluctuations
for the past week have covered a
more or less wide extent of range,
prices closed tonight at a somewhat
higher level than week ago.
Close observers argue upon the
fact that values have held notwith-
standing this pessimistic view of
foreign complications; that any
favorable news that may come into
the market will bring abuut a hie her
level of values. This seems to be a
probable and favorable forecast, and
with the scarcity of present supplies
due to the many adverse influences
that have effected the crop being
marketed, it is reasonable to suppose
that higher prices can be looked for

WORKERS SHOW
GREAT FATIGUE
British Munition Makers
Being Worn Out by Long
Speeding Up"

London, Eng, May 19.-After two
years Of speeding up" munition
workers throughout Great Britain are
beginning TO show industrial ia
tigue," which is having an effect On
output.
This is the report Of a parliament
airy committee appointed under the
title Health of munition workers
committee" The committee says that
taking the country as whole. we
are bound TO record our impression
that the munition workers in general
have been allowed to reach state Of
reduced efficiency and lowered health
which mia1lt have been avoided with
out reduction OF output by attentions
to the details of daily and weekly
rests. The signs Of fatigue are even
more noticeable in the case of man
ayers and foremen and the practical
results here are prabably even more
serious than in the case OF the work
I'm many cases, perhaps in almost
all. in which sickness is well marked,
or has even advanced to definite sick
ness. an occasional day off would
have avoided much wasteful reduc-
tion of capacity and ia the worst
cases the total loss Of many days Of
work"
The committee pays tribute to the
results Of enlightened study Of
American systems of factory welfare
management here.

Won are already too stout, you will be
interested in learning that there is a

firing at night; also in following the
simple directions that come with the
