J. b. Ashelman. Like many others, I

HOW IT HAPPENED.
Mr.. Ashelman is only one of thousands
who suffered for years, owing to the gen.
ernl belief in the old, false theory that
Uric Acid" causes rheumatism. This err
roneous belief induced him and legions Of
unfortunate men and women to take wrong
treatments. You might just as well at
tempt to put out 4 fire with oil as to try
and get rid Of your rheumatism, neuritis
and like complaints, by taking treatments
supposed to drive Uric Acid out Of your
blood and body. Many physicians and sci
entists now know that Uric Acid never did,
never can and never will cause rheumatis /;
that il is q natural and necessary constitu-
ent Of the blood; that It Is found in every
newborn babe; and that without It We
could not livei
These statements may seem strange to
some folks, who have all along been led to
believe in the old Uric Acid" humbug 1t
took Mr.. Ashelman fifty years to find out
this truth. He learned how to get rid Of
the true cause of his rheumatism. other
disorders, and recover his strength from

in some instances, filthy condition Of
passenger coaches used in South Car

"This matter Las reached such a

that the commission feels that 1t Is
absolutely necessary that more pre-
caution be taken than has heretofore
been exercised. That the health OF

"The rules of the commission and

be cut out of trains on occasion. It
is absolutely necessary that passen-

been the rule within the past four or
five years. The commission trusts
that it will not be necessary to resort
