all counties.
A woman under that law. If the court
Is held TO be n county institution, might
not be eligible. But if the amendments
and the special act, under which the
city OF Memphis was authorized to elect
n judge of the juvenile court, is held
to apply only to Memphis. the judgeship
would be held to be a city office. and
could be held by a woman. as women

office--in the municipalities of the
state. There IS nothing in the law
requiring the judge Of the juvenile court
TO be a lawyer.

On the streets every day You
see the results of improper and
misdIrected treatment. You
see victims of this painful and
disabling disease, limping
through life. their limbs bent
and stiff and their bodies tor
tur'ed with aching joints, until
you wonder how they can bear
so much continued suffering.
If you are beginning to feel
The first slight touches of Rheu-
matism, there is just as much
pain and suffering ahead Of
YOU, if you follow blindly in
the same misdirected footsteps
of unintelligent treatment.
For remember that all these
thousands of victims of this
painful disease have spent
countless hours no doubt. as
we'll as their hard-earned dol
lars in a vain effort to find a
cure.
And your own experience
will be just as disappointing as
theirs, If You follow the old,
WORKOUT and worthless meth
DDS of treatment.
The whole trouble Is that the
symptoms of the disease are
being treated, and not the dis
ease itself. When you realize
that you must get rid Of the
cause of rheumatism. and that
its torturing pains will disap-
pear when their cause is re-,
moved, then you will be on the
right track, and there is a.
splendid chance for you to rid
