And so we got and soap and put her the tub.
At first she struggle much made cries.

For fast I'd get hold Of she another free.

Or hang ourselves dry the cotheine in the yard
And said tried again she d whip good and hard.

A RAY OF HOPE
FOR THOSE WITH
RHEUMATISM

Experience has proven that a great
majority Of cases of Rheumatism are
caused by a disordered condition Of
the blood. Millions upon millions Of
tiny little disease germs multiply
rapidly. and spread throughout he
circulation. setting up their attacks
of pain at some susceptible part Of
the body. Of course the blood can.
not be reached by local applications,
which explains why Rheumatism Is
never cured by lininents and lotions.
But those whose blood is infested
with the germs of Rheumatism should
be delighted to know that IN the
midst of all their suffering. there is
a bright ray Of hope. S. S. s.. the
reliable purely vegetable blood rem
sdy. promptly pnrifies the blood. and
cIeanses it Of all impurities and Dis
ease germs. and in this way makes 1t
impossible for the germs Of Rheuma-
dsm to remain. A full course of this
remedy viii prove to you its geas
efficacy, as It has IN numerous cases
which have been reported to Us By
grateful patients.
Do not continue to suffer because
Of wrong treatment. but go to your
drug store and commence taking S.
5. S. to-day. Also write fully to our
head physician. who viii give yOu
full instructions about your own case.

OF the coming Junior Hexathlon. the

Thus far the prospects OF FL Paso

Whereas the -pewees" look very good
and promise to acquit themselves
with eredItable scores. the heavier
boys have not come up to last years
marks. Director Holm calls to the
attention of the "heavies" that other
associations may also have a falling
off. 1t thereto behooves the heavier
juniors to hit the line as hard as pos
sible. The finals. too. may be better
than the preliminaries, in which case
the local boys stand good show to

Here is a message that may
mean an end to all of your
suffering.

IF you are just feeling the first
little twinging pains of Rheumatism,
we would warn you to take the right
course at the outset. and avoid per-
hitting yourself to fall a helpless
victim to one Of the most disabling
and painful diseases to which the
human family is subject.
And if you have had Rheumatism
for any length of tune. the chances
are that you have kept the iniment
bottle pretty busy but you have real
lzed by now that gallons Of liniments
and other locally applied remedies
will never nc you of this body-wreek-
ng. pain-racking disease. The best
hat you can expect from such treat
nent is some little temporary relief
rom the sharp, shooting pains.
But you want more than mere re-
lef. You want to break the shackles
Of disease that has you 50 firmly
within its power. You want a treat
nent that not only relieves the pains.
but that stops them forever. BY reach
ing their source. and removing their
cause.
