Sensible Treatment
For Rheumatism

track, and there is a splendid
chance for you to nd yourself of
the disease.
First of all. get it firmly fixed in
your mind that all the liniments in
the world have no effect whatever
on Rheumatism. You may use
them by the gallon, and rub the
painful parts by the hour. getting
possibly some temporary relief from
the torturing pains. but you are
making no headway whatever to-
ward reaching the cause of the
disease.
The most common form of
Rheumatism is caused by millions
of tiny disease germs which infest
the blood. The one and only sem
sible treatment. therefore, is one
which cleanses the blood of these
germs, and routs them entirely out
of the circulation. And everyone
knows that this cannot be done by
rubbing the surface with liniments.
This is why S. S. S.. the great
est known blood purifier. is so sue
cessful in the treatment of Rheuma-
tism. 1t is a powerful cleanser Of
the blood, being composed entirely
of the extracts of roots and herbs
of recognized medicinal value. and
it promptly routs out of the blood
all disease germs. S. S. S. has been
used for more than half a century
and 1t has proven beneficial in
hundreds of cases of Rheumatism.
If you are a victim of this dis
ease, why waste further time with
the wrong kind of treatmentl Go
to your druggist today and get
bottle of S. S. S.. and begin a
course of treatment that will delight
you with its results. S. S. S. will
attack the disease germs that cause
your Rheumatism. by cleansing your
blood.
We maintain a medical depart
ment in charge of specialist on
rheumatism, and after beginning
treatment with S. S. S. you are in
vited to write for free medical ad-
vice about your own case. Address

Drives 0ut the Millions Of
Tiny Pain Demons That
Cause the Disease.

There are many ways of treating
Rheumatism, but there is only one
right way.
On the streets every day you see
the results of improper and misdi-
rected treatment. You see victims
Of thispainful and disabling disease,
Iimping through life, their limbs
bent and stiff, and their bodies
tortured with aching joints, until
you wonder how they can bear so
much continued suffering.
You see these same unfortunates
hobbling along as another winter
approaches, knowing that there is
another season of suffering in store
for them. You notice that they are
a little more stopped. and their gait
is a little more difficult as the years
go by.
If you are beginning to feel the
FIRST slight touches of Rheumatism,
there is just as much pain and suf-
fering ahead of you, if you follow
blindly in the same misdirected foot
steps of unintelligent treatment. For
remember that all these thousands
of victims of this painful disease
have spent countless hours. no
doubt. as well as their hard-earned
dollars, in a vain effort to find a
cure.
And your own experience will be
Just as disappointing as theirs. if
you follow the Did. won-out and
worthless methods of treatment.
The whole trouble is that the
symptoms of the disease are being
treated, and no, the disease itself.
When you realize that you must
get nd of the cause of Rheumatism.
and that its torturing pains will dis
appear when their cause is remov-
ed. then you viii be on the right

LgRAY, Va, Jan. 15.-Coming
from his adopted lair-the Mas
sanutton Mountains of this county,
where he had been placed by the
United States government, in the
hope of propagating his tribe-a
monster elk, weighing between 700
and 1000 pounds, is a captive in the
barn of Mike Long, a farmer near
Alma.
For long time the herds that are
roaming the Massanutton Mountains
have been raiding farms in the low
lands, four and five miles from their
habitat. The farmers have 10y
ally stood by the government in it's
protection of the elk, standing for
all manner of destruction of wheat
and corn fields. Time limits, when
the elk might be killed or captured,
have been watched in the hope that
their destruction in a manner might
be Curtailed.
Not long since the big elk came
to Longs barn.
The big fellow began to chafe un-
der his enforced restraint, and in
a short time he had broken from his
inclOsure. Then he was lassoed and
again made a prisoner. This dlo
not last long, FER the elk had again
secured his freedom, using his thir-
ty-three-inch horns in making an
opening in the building, thus gain
ing his freedom. Again he was
Iassoed before he got off of Longs
farm.
To get him back to the barn this
time required the combined efforts
of two or three horses and as many
Ren. heavy log chains having been
hooked to the elk and he was
dragged into the building.

In DYNAMITE CASE
Lawyer Says Thompson Jury
Gave Verdict Warped
By Opinions.

A. Garrett. attorney for Guy Vernon
Thompson, convicted in the Circuit
Court here last week of the murder
of James Bolton and two little chill
dren of his hOusekeeper, Mrs. Hattie

that at least two of the jurors who
sat in the case had prior to the trial
formed and expressed opinions as
to the guilt or innocence of the
accused, that the court erred in sew
eral of it's rulings, and that the
verdict was against the weight of
the evidence. A time for arguing
the motion has not been set.
