Her pride had kept her away. But
Tom did not write; Gerty's letters were
social and unsatisfactory; the newspa-

Gerty welcomed her stifIiy. Assum-

caught fire at her waning enthusiasms.

Do YOU WANT TO

RHEUMATISM?
Experience of This Indiana
Resident Should be Val

Those who have rheumatism are
frequently so discouraged Of finding a
remedy that they eonfine their efforts
to relieving the pain. The pain-dead-
.ener has its purpose but its effect is
only temporary and the attacks gen
orally return with increasing severity
and frequency and larger doses Of such
medicines are needed to have any eff
feet.
Rheumatism Is frequently accom-
panied by weak blood and in such
cases a treatment that aims to build
up the blood gets at the cause of the
disease and proves Of permanent value.
