If you will get it fixed in
your mind that in many forms
Rheumatism is a blood disease
and cannot be cured by local
treatment, you will then by pro-
per treatment begin to get the
permanent relief you have been
seeking for so many years.
In this article we want to ex-
plain to you the cause of this
most painful Of all diseases, also
offer suggestions, founded on
reason and long years of exper-
fence, which will enable you to
secure the right treatment if you
are afflicted with any of the
various forms of rheumatism.
Rheumatism is often a spe-
cific blood fermentation, a sour
ing of the circulation from an
excess of uric acid accommodating
in the blood stream. This uratic
impurity comes usually as re-
suit of constipation, weak kid
neys, indigestion and stomach
disturbances. These systemic
irregularities may not be of
marked severity or of long dur
alton, but each has a direct eff
feet on the eliminative members
Of the body, which prevents the
proper removal of the waste
products. This refuse remains
in the stomach and bowels, and
souring forms uric acid, which
the blood quickly absorbs.
Rheumatism is usually mani
tested in the joints and muscles.
It is here its sharpest twinges
of pain are felt, and stiffening
of ligaments and tendons first
commence. The pain of Rheu-
matism is caused by the contact
Of the sensory nerves with the
gritty, acrid formation which
uric acid causes to accumulate
in the corpuscles of the blood
about the joints. The stiffen-
ing of muscles and joints is u.s.
ually gradual. Constantly the

blood deposits the uric acid into
the joints, and slowly the nat
ural fluids are dried up and de-
stroyed. Then Rheumatism be-
comes chronic and serious.
It is then that this poison in
the blood has Slapped the
strength. The weakened blood
has allowed poison and impuri-
ties to accumulate, leaving the
sufferer with all energy gone.
Scientists have discovered
that the forest and field are
abundantly supplied with vege-
tation of various kinds, that fur
nish the ingredients for making
a remedy for practically every
i'll and ailment of mankind.
Medicines made from roots,
herbs and banks which Nature
has placed at the disposal of
man, are better than strong,
mineral mixtures and concoc-l
tions. Mineral medicines work
dangerously on the delicate parts
of the system, especially the
stomach and bowels, by eating
out the lining membrane. pro-
ducing chronic dyspepsia and
often entirely running the health.
S. S. S. is guaranteed to be
purely vegetable remedy. 1t is
made entirely of gentle-acting,
healing, purifying roots, herbs
and barks, possessing properties
that build up all parts of the sys-
tenn, in addition to removing all
impurities and poisons from the

Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases,
and all disorders which are caus-

Vicks should be rubbed in over the
parts until the skin is red spread
on thickly and cover with two
thicknesses of hot flannel cloths.
Leave the clothing loose around the
neck, so the vapors released by the
body heat may be freely inhaled.
These vapors. inhaled with each
breath, carry the medicine directly
to the lungs and air passages. At
the same time Vicks is absorged
thru and stimulates the skin. thus
aiding to relieve the congestion
within.
Use Of External Treatments for
Colds Increasing
Vick's VapoRub is the discovery
of North Carolina druggist who
found how to combine in salve form
the standard time-tested remedies.
Camphor Menthol Eucalyptus -
Thyme, etc.-so that when the
salve is applied to the body heat
these ingredients are liberated in
the form Of vapors.
Vicks Is particularly recommen-
ded for children's Group or colds,
since it is externally applied and
therefore can be used freely and
often without the slightest harmful
effects.
The best evidence Of the value of
Vicks is the steadily increasing
number Of people who have been
converted to the use Of this "out-
side" treatment.
Beginning with the customers Of
a small retail drug store, the use of
Vicks has grown year by year
state by state-until now more than
II million jars are used annually.
And this in spite of the fact that
Vicks is new form of treatment to
many folks in the North and West.
Vicks can be had at all druggists
in three sizes-30c, 60c, or $1.20.

Neither Governor Coolidge nor / could

Flu this Year 10 Milder


The rules given above, recon-
mended by the New York Board Of
Health, are guides to good health
at all times. Particularly should
they be followed just now. when
influenza is again abroad in the
land. Authorities agree, however,
that the flu this year is less severe
than in the last epidemic-the at
tacks are shorter and the death rate
lower. In fact, many physicians
insist that the epidemics now being
reported from so many sections are
not flu at all, but simply the old
fashioned grip.
Keep the Air Passages Healthy
While we know very little more
about the flue now than we did last
year the germ itself has never
been positively identified still
most authorities agree that the flu
germs are breathed in. If the sys-
tenn is in good shape and the men,
brane or lining of air passages is in
healthy condition-these germs are
thrown off.
A good plan is to melt little
Vick's VapoRub in a spoon, night
and morning, and inhale the vapors,
also apply little up the nostrils
several times day, especially just
before being exposed to crowds.
Treat All Colds Promptly
Above all, keep free from colds
as colds irritate the lining of the air
I'D la
breeding grounds for germs. Prompt
use of Vick's VapoRub aids in pre-
venting colds. For head colds,
sore throat or hoarseness, rub Vicks
we'll over the throat and chest and
cover with a warm flannel cloth.
For deep chest colds, severe sore
throat or bronchitis, hot wet towels
should first be applied to the throat,

Look and Feel
Clean, Sweet and
Fresh Every Day
Drink a glass of real hot water
before breakfast to wash
out poisons.

Life is not merely to live, but to
live well, eat well, digest we'll, work
well, sleep well, look well. What a
glorious condition to attain, and yet
how very easy it Is if one will only
adopt the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
we'll, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in 1t to wash from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste,
sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
The action of hot water and limestone
phosphate on an empty stomach is
wonderfully invigorating. 1t cleans
out all the sour lamentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one q
splendid appetite for breakfast. While
you are enjoying your breakfast the
water and phosphate is quietly ex-
tracing a large volume of water from
the blood and getting ready for
thorough flushing of all the inside
organs.
The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble. rheumatism;
others who have sallow skins, blood
disorders and sickly compilations are
Urged to get a quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store
which will cost very little, but Is
sufficient to make anyone pro-
nounced crank on the subject OF
internal sanitation.

PRETTY RECEPTION

The reception rendered the Chill

Tuesday Club, Tuesday April six, at
the residence of Mrs. B. L. Glascock
was one of the largest and most
brilliant social functions of the sea
son. The entire lower floor was
beautifully decorated with ferns and
palms and Easter lilies, and spring
flowers. The rooms were darkened
and softly shaded electric lights fur
nished the illumination. The guests
were received by Mrs. Glascock,
Mrs. Hedge, Mrs. j. A, McCulloch,
Mrs. Post and Mrs. VIII Norton.
The president, Mrs. Hedge, in open
ing the meeting, extended a very
gracious and cordial welcome to the
guests. Mrs. j. S. Jones, the chair
man of the prospectus committee,
outlined the program Of the after
noon which was arranged by Mrs. p
M. Bartlett and comprised of sew
eral selections from Verbs, II Tro-
vatore.
Mrs. HUI Norton's short and inter-
esting sketch of Verdi was followed
by description of the opera, Il
Trovatore, perhaps his most popular
and best known creation, given by
Mrs. Alice Gamble. The auditors
with new and increased appreciation
listened as Mrs. Bartlett and Mrs.
John Mitchell rendered the overture
II Trovatore, with rare skill and
beauty, Mrs Bartlett later playing
that best known and loved portion
of the opera, the Miserere.
Mrs. Homer Bartlett Rhea with
Mrs. Bartlett at the piano, gave sew
eral numbers on the violin which
showed that her skillful handling of
this most wonderful instrument has

Ball and the Isles of Aloha, the ever
popular Hawaiian air constituted
the very excellent and varied pro-
gram Mrs. Rhea so generously con
tributed. "A solo ooh, Have Sighed

~ applauded. The concluding mum
Der was rendered with Mrs. Bartlett
at the piano, Mrs. Rhea accompany
ing with the violin, while Mrs. w. S.
Davis sang "The Sunshine of Your
Smile" completing a program which
was well planned and perfectly
executed, and for which the members
of the two organizations are in
debted to Mrs. Bartlett, who had
charge of the selection of all the de-
tails of the musical program, and
whose rare taste and artistic ability
are, so we'll known and appreciated
