THIS DONE, YOU ARE WELL OF
RHEUMATISM,
AND ANY OTHER DISEASE CAUSED BY IMPURE BLOOD.
Do-not be discouraged if other remedies have failed. RHEUMACIDE has
made its reputation by curing alleged incurable cases. Does not
injure the organs of digestion.
Goldsboro, N. C., Aug. 26,1902.
Gentlemen—Some six years ago I began to have sciatica, and also a chronio
case of muscular rheumatism. At times 1 could not work at all (my business
being baggage master on Southern K. 11.). For days and weeks at a time I could
not work. My suffering was intense. Physicians treated me, without permanent
relief, however. Tried a number of advertised remedies without permanent
benefit. Finally I tried “ Hhkumacidk.” It did the work, and I have had ex
cellent health for three years. I can cheerfully say that all rheumatics should
use “Kheumacide,” for it is by far the best remedy.

BIG SHIP BUFFETED I

Stormy Voyage of Ocean Lin
er St. Louis.
9 ——————
SEAMAN SWEPT OVERBOARD.
For Days Ship Ran Under Reduced
Speed with Passengers Behind Storm
Doors, and Seas Continually Break
ing Over Her Decks.
New York, Dec. 1.—The American
steamer St. Louis arrived in port early
today from Southampton and Cher
bourg one day late after a very stormy
passage. The St. Louis left the chan
nel with moderate breezes w'hich later
became a gale with violent squalls
and a very high, dangerous sea. Tire
gales continued in violence until Fri
day when they fell. Among the pas
sengers was J. dison Brown, deputy
United State consul general
at Paris, and General I. Viljoen, for
merly of the South African republic.
As the St. Louis came into her dock
she showed the effect of the rough
weather. Her funnels were salt-en
crusted where the spray had dashed
against them, and one of the forward
starboard boats hung a wreck on the
davits. Others on the same side
were marked by dents where the
heavy seas had struck them. Dur
ing the height of the storm on Wednes
day afternoon one seaman, Charles
Johnson, a Norwegian, was washed
overboard and lost. During almost
all of the trip the captain w r as obliged
to remain on the bridge, and most of
that Fme the officers were lashed to
supports to keep the seas from carry
ing them overboard.
On the 29th the St. Louis ran into a
violent hailstorm and the hailstones
were so large that the officers ha-1
hard work navigating the ship. For
days they ran the vessel under reduced
speed with the passengers behind
stormdoors. and the seas continually
breaking over the ship and sweeping
the decks.
On Wednesday, about 4 o'clock in
the morning, the storm was fierce, and
the sea, which was high, was break-
in- over r' - bow with such force it
• -.o of the forward
foots on uie siarucard side would be
cairied away. Orders were given to
have the boats made more secure, and
a detail of seven men were sent up
to fasten them. The seamen who un
dertook the work crept along the side
of the deck to the forward boat. They
had been working but a few minutes
to make it secure when a heavy wave
came curling over -the rail. There
was a shot of warning and all of the
men held fast except Johnson, who
was dashed overhoard. The ship
was stopped, but so wild was the sea
that no aid could be given to the man
and the steamer resumed her journey.
