fish, from National headquarters of that
order the following prayer said to have
been delivered by Washington: Almighty
God, we make our earnest prayer that
Thou will keep the United States in Thy
holy protection; that thou will incline the
hearts of the citizens to cultivate spirit
of subordination and obedience to govern
ment and entertain brotherly affection
and love for one another and for their
fellow citizens of the United States at
large. And finally that Thou will most
graclously be pleased to dispose us all to
do Justice, to love mercy and to demean
ourselves with that charity, humility and
pacific temper of mind, which were the
characteristics of the divine Author of
our blessed religion and without humble
imitation of whose example in these
things we can never hope to be happy

seech Thee, through Jesus Christ, our
Lord, Amen"

Natures Remedy (NR Tsbiets), Are
Helping Thousands Who Tried Ex-
ponsive Things Without Result.
It's Guaranteed.

There are three vital processes Of
human eXistence,-the digestion of
food, the extraction of nourshment
from it and the elimination of waste.
Poor digestion and assimilation
means failure to derive fun nourish-
ment from food and that in turn often
means impoverished blood, weakness,
anemia, etc. Poor elimination means
an accumulation of waste matter
which poisons the body, lowers vitality,
decreases the power of resistance to
disease and leads to the development
of many serious ills.
Rheumatism,-du to some inter-
ference with the process of elimina-
ton, failure to get rid of certain body
poisons,-cannot be expected to yield
to any medicine that fails to correct
the condition responsible for it. Could
any reasonable person expect to rid
himself of rheumatic pain as long as
rheumatic poison is allowed to remain
in the body

What Thousands Have Found Gives
Relief From This Painful Trouble.
Rheumatism is a constitutional dis
ease, manifesting itself in local aches
and pains, infamed joints and stiff
muscles. 1t cannot be cured by local
or external applications. It must
have constitutional treatment.
Take a course of the great blood
purifying and tonic medicine, Hood s
Sarsaparilla, which corrects the acid
condition of the blood on which
rheumatism depends, and gives per-
manent relief. This medicine CON-
bines, with excellent alternatives and
tonics, what is generally conceded to
be the most effective agent in the
treatment Of this disease.
If a cathartic or laxative is needed
take Hood s Pills. Purely vegetable.
