Many rheumatic people suffer pains
that could be avoided by building up
the blood. When rheumatism is asso.
ciated with thin blood it cannot be
corrected until the blood is made rich
and red.

North Billerica, Mass, used DR.. vii.

ofrheumatism accompanied by attacks
of Indigestion. This is herexperience.

years ago and contracted a severe cold,
The next day l was confined to bed.
Sharp. pains started in my right
shoulder and nearly drove me mad.
They worked down to my right knee
which was stiff and sore, and went to
my hands. / could not sleep and was
, in terrible pain all the time. My knee
was swollen.

would have terrible pains after eating,

couraged to try them. After | had

him to return home, and at last per
suaded him 10 do so. He sold off the
furniture and offered to provide a
home for his wife with her parents,

ing she could not get along with his
mother
This was in September 1913, and
since then he has not contributed any

return to her husband, provided he
set up a separate home for them to
live in, and che husband has been will

with the health authorities in their
effort to stamp out the epidemic of in
Huenza that has been raging in our
midst during the past three weeks
The propriet0rs OF theatres and NOV.

has absolutely been taken from them,
are particularly 10 be commended for
the genial manner in which they have
accepted their business losses and the
good spirit they have exhibited in
their obedience to the regulations i'm
posed upon them.
The fact that very few new cases
OF influenza have been reported dur
Ing the past two or three days seems
to indicate that the epidemic has
practically reached It's end, but it is
still OF Importance that every precau
tion be taken in order to prevent the
possibility OF fresh outbreak
Il feel, however, that it is of even
greater Importance that every safe.
guard be thrown around those con.
valescent from the disease to prevent
the possibility of relapse. with its
attendant serious results.
To this end it Is deemed advisable
that the churches remain closed for
another Sunday, }as with their re-
opening many people still weak from
the effects OF their recent illness
might thus be tempted to leave their
homes for the purpose of attending
their usual place Of worship and, in
so doing, suffer exposure which might
result in serious injury.
1T is hoped, however, that this viii.
be the last Sunday that they will be
asked to remain closed and that in a
few lays the schools will be allowed
to reopen and all other activities, both
of a business and social nature, will
be allowed to resume their normal
course of action.
