Physicians have varying opinions about
the cause Of Rheumatism. They are in
considerable doubt as to the source of
the disease and It's proper treatment But
there Is no doubt whatever about its
pains, and no dispuinG the fact that they
are real, in many cases even to the ex-
tent Of torture.
IL the disease were confined to the
surface. there might be some logic in
expecting relief from its clutches by 10
cal applications applied to the surface.
But you viii soon learn that a disease
that can cause so much pain and suffer
ing is deep seated, and has its source
far below the surface Of the skin. The
pains may be slight at first, and that is
where the victim of rheumatism Is often
deceived.
He does not feel that the first little
twinges OF pain amount to much, and
hence they are not promptly Needed. But
they gradually increase in severity until
the disease has your entire system In its
relentless grip. The pains that seemed

are serving a sentence as punishment
for their misdemeanors.
This investigation has convinced us
of the utter viciousness of the system
now in vogue in this State of per-
hitting the sheriff to reap reward
from feeding his prisoners. We do
not seek to excuse the snerlH TOT
failing to properly feed prisoners un-
der his charge, for if he can not feed
them properly and still make money
out of his allowance, his first duty
unquestionably is to provide prisoners
with wholesome food, instead OF nrst
enriching himself at the expense OF
the prisoners

so slight at first become intensely Sc
we're and seem to take delight In your
sufferings.
OF course, there has been cases where
some slight relief was experienced from
the use of liniments and other local appli-
cations, but there has never yet been a
case that was actually cured by such
( treatment, and temporary relief is very
far from comforting to a constant sui
ferer
The only sensible treatment from which
you can expect real results is a remedy
that goes deep down into the blood sup
ply, and kills the germs that cause the
disease. These tiny germs multiply by
the millions and scatter by mes nj of the
blood circulation throughout the entire
system. Whether they attack the muscles.
the joints, limbs or other parts of the
body, they are still in the blood, and
will continue to spread their torturing
pains until eliminated thoroughly frcm
the blood.
SIS. is a wonderful blood remedy,
and is the logical treatment for rheuma-
tism, because it promptly permaetes the
entire blood supply, and searches out
and killS the disease germs. You can
take SIS. with the assurance that you
are not experimenting, for this fine old
remedy has been in constant use for
more than fifty years, during which time
1t has been giving splendid results. So
you owe It to yourself to take S.S.S.
without delay, and discard the uss Of lo>
cal remedies that can do you no good.

DR.. Judkins, Massachusetts, physician

Victims OF eye strain and other eye

Drs. Smith and Judkins there Is real

fact that many persons infected with
venereal diseases enter the jail, the fall
ure to provide individual drinking cups
or sanitary cups for the prisoners is a
constant menace. We found at least one
prisoner who had contracted loathsome
disease of this description while In Jail. "
Furthermore the county commits
sioners should take immediate steps to
provide some place for the prisoners
infected with Yenereal diseases, 1t Is
entirely unjust that all people who are
incarcerated, some of whom it later de-
velops are innocent of the crime charged
against them, should be forced to eat

Regarding insane persons being ad-
mitted to the county Jail with the pres
ent facilities for handling these cases, the
report says:
The whole atmosphere is conducive
TO an aggravation rather than an
amelioratiOn Of their mental state.
We found boys from II to 20 years -
of age are lodged in the same tier
of cells and mingle freely with men
charged with serious crimes, inelud-
ing every species of sexual perver-
sions, as well as men who have long
criminal records.
Many of these youths are awaiting
trial. Their guilt or innocence has
not yet been established. Their as
ISOLATION with older men of this type
is exceedingly destructive to their
morals
We also found that those prisoners
who are awaiting trial are assigned
principally to the first floor of the
Jail, which is necessarily the darkest,
most poorly ventilated and uninvit-
ing portion thereof, and as a matter
of fact is the most filthy and insani-
tary, while those whose guilt has
already been established, those who,
having been convicted, are serving a
sentence for their crimes are as
signed principally to the top floor of
the jail. which is the lightest. best
ventilated and most comfortable in
every way. This, In our Judgment,

The penalty provided by the statute

The report of the grand jury, in part

The general sanitary condition OF

such an extent that it would be pos
sible for a man to crawl through
some of the holes.
Furthermore, there is no toilet
paper for use in the entire jail so far
as we were able to ascertain.
The beds and hunks are in very
bad condition. Some of the beds
have the springs entirely torn OF and
in many other cases the springs are
so badly damaged that they are en-
tirely unserviceable and unfit for any
human being to sleep upon. The
mattresses and straw ticks are in
very bad condition. Not only are
they soiled to the point of being
filthy, as are the blankets also, but
the straw has been used for so long
that it has become unfit for its pur-
pose both from the standpoint of
sanitation and comfort to the pris-
oners.
