Rheumatism And The Heart
Don't oyerlook the grave fact that
rheumatism easily "settles in the
heart,'7 and disturbs the valvular action.
The cure consists in removing
the cause. Foley Kidney Pills so tone
up and strengthen the kidneys that
they keep the blood free of poisons and
uric acid crystals, that cause rheuma
tism, swolled joints, backacke, uriuary
irregularties, and disturbed heart action.

In addressing the Columbia club of
Newberry college at the Jefferson
hotel in Columbia Tuesday evening of
last week Congressman Lever made
reference to the press in the following
remarks and right he is. Mr. Lever
said:
"The greatest struggle in public life
since the establishment of American
independence is now going on," he
said. "Secret forces are arraying
;hemselves in such a manner that the
neatest battle that has been fought
:or more than a century is now being
vaged. When the press of the county
boldly prints the names of men
ligh ia public life, men who are
iccused cf political corruption, it is a
lign that we are reaching a crisis."
'All honor" to the press of the coun;ry
that exposes corruption in high
jlaces, and at the same time treat

indergoing a bath, and it is for you
who have had seme little opportunity
