Much Rheumatism
Local Druggists Mcclure, No-pay
 Offer Attracts Many Sufferers

If there are any rheumatic sufferers in town who have not availed them selves of The Lee & Osgood Co.'S gen erous offer, they should do so at once.
 They state that if Rheuma, the guaranteed prescription for rheuma- tisn, does not give any purchaser quick and joyful relief, they will re- turn the purchase price without any quibbling or red tape.
 Rheumatism is a dangerous disease and anyone who has the, slightest taint of it should drive it from the system as soon as possible. Read what Rheu- ma did for this sufferer:
 ''I have been laid up for one year with chronic arthritis. had doctors galore, also spent four months in the sanitarium hospital at Troy, N. Y, but had practically no relief. Then I start ed taking Rheuma. l have now taken five bottles, and can go without crutch- es or other aid. which I could not do for the last nine months. I highly recommend it. and would gladly an swer any questions asked. on receipt of stamp for postage. This letter may by published as a benefit to sufferers from rheumatism In any form Thomas H, Eddy Schuylervflle, N. Y,

 Secondhand clothing and house furnishings and books and magazines are always welcome. Ou' fa acilities for sending after dona tions are. at pres- ent. very much interferred with. Oul long time expressnan is temporarily out Of business in this line and we can never be sure of finding the ex- pressman with leisure who vii promptly go after things offered.
 Hence the delays in gathering ur donations, which are as troublesome to Us as to the donors. It may be that some of those who give can deliver l the goods themselves and save worry and money. The high price of collect ing is here and it sometimes seems i wastefuI to spend at least fifty cents ] to get small package brought to tho office.

IThousands of people suffer more or
 jess constantly from furred. coated
 tongue. bad breath, sour burning stom- ach, frequent vomiting, rumbling in stomach. bitter eructations, gas, wind, and stomach acidity. and call it indi-- gestlon when in reality their trouble
 Is que to gastric catarrh of the stom-
 aeh, writes a New York physician, . Catafrh of the stomach is dangerous
 because the mucous membrane lining,
 of the stomach is thickened and coat
 ing or phlegm covers the surface so
 that the digestive fluids cannot mix with the food and digest them. This
 condition soon breeds deadly disease
 in the fermented. unassimilated food.
 The blood Is polluted and carries the
 infection throughout the body. Gastric ulcers are apt to form and frequently
 an ulcer is the first sign of deadly cancer.
 In eatarrh of the stomach good and
 safe treatment is to take before meals
 teaspoonful of pure Bisurated Mag nesia In half a glass of hot water as hot as you can comfortably drink it. The hot water washes the mucous from
 the stomach walls and draws the blood
 to the stomach, while the bsurated maSnesia is an excellent solvent for mucous and increases the efficiency of the hot water treatment. Moreover the Bisurated Magnesia will serve as a powerful but harmless antacid which will neutralize any excess ,hydrochloric acid that may be in your stomach and sweeten it's food contents. Easy. nat ural digestion without distress of any kind should soon follow. Bisurated Magnesia is not 8 laxative, is harmless pleasant and easy to take and can be obtained from any local druggist. Don't l confuse Bisurated Magnesia with othel l forms of magnesia millSs, citrates, etc 1 but get it in the pure bisurated form | (powder or tablets). especially pre- l pared for this purpose.

One real feature of 1 those French homes is that they have a good fireplace in almost every room. So. when it is cold. we toast our shirs. or at night we sit around the log fire and stare moodily into the coals,. dreamine of that distant day when many of Us shall be back in the land of radiators and stoves.
