The Right Treatment VIII Break
14 Your Shackles.

You who are afflicted with Rheu-
matism know from experience just
how excrutiating the pangs OF the
disease are. :, You know also, if
you have had rheumatism for any
length of time that there is no real
relief to be expected from the use
of liniments and lotions.
Rheumatism is stubborn dis
ease, and its pangs and pains
cannot be wiped out as if by ma.
gic. A disease that is so full OF
torture and renders so many peo-
pie absolutely helpless, is a deep
seated one; it is not on the sur
face, hence it cannot be reached
by external, surface remedies.
Lotions, liniments and ointn1ents
applied to the surface may IN
some cases deaden the pain for the
time being, but until you attack the
disease at it's foundation, you are
making no progress toward a
cure. Many forms of Rheumatism
are caused by millions. of tiny
germs that infest the blood, and
until the blood is absolutely freed
of these germs, there is no real
relief in sight.
In fact the longer you delay
treating the disease through the

Horace Greedy, publisher of the New

that Greedy committed a felony. by

OF the Tribune containing articles
on the slavery question. The OBJ
i,ct and purpose OF which was to

in the history of Alexandria sixty

This city. At that time an English
man, believer in the perprtuity Of

Weekly Tribune, and his wont was
to place them in wrappers and deliy-I
