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 chronic
case of muscular rheumatism. At times 1 could not work at all (my business
being baggage master on Southern R. R.). For days and weeks at a time I could
network. My sutfering was intense. Physicians treated me, witliout permanent
relief, however. Tried a number of advertised remedies without permanent
benefit. Finally I tried “ Rheuiiacidx.” It did the work, and I have had ex
cellent health for three years. I can cheerfully say that all rheumatics should
us* “ Rheumaoide, 1 ’ for it is by far the best remedy.

Judge West an Author.
The Ledger acknowledges the re
ceipt of “A Texan in Search of a
Fight,” from the author, Judge John
C. West, of Waco, Texas. Judge
West is a native of Camden, S. C.,
and married a Miss Stack, of Co
lumbia. His little book marks him
a typical South Carolina gentleman
of the old school. It is largely of a
personal nature, but it gives vivid
pictures of war life and Confederate
times, which recommepds it; to the
“old boys,” and all other Southern
p^opl^.

DR. HATHAWAY.
Recognized as the Leading and
Most Successful Specialist in
His line in the United States.
The specialist Is now Indispensable. In all walks of life there Is a demand for the man
who can do one particular thing better than any one else, and such a man Is one who has confined
his endeavor to, and centered all of his energy and ability on the specialty he has chosen for his
life’s work.
Early in my professional career I realized that Chronic Diseases were not being given the
attention which their importance warranted. I saw that these diseases required a special fit
ness which the busy practitioner could never acquire. For more than twenty years I have de
voted myself exclusively to the study and treatment of these diseases, and the fact that physi
cians recommend me to their patients is an evidence of my skill and ability In my special line. I
give special counsel to physicians with obstinate and obscure cases.
I have devoted particular attention to chronic diseases of men and women, and no other
class of disease requires more intelligent and expert treatment. It is a fact that a majority of
men owe the seriousness of thi c condition to improper treatment, and a failure to realize the
importance of placing their case iu the hands of a skilled and expert specialist.
Nervous Debility
Overindulgence, indiscretions and excesses are not the only
causes of an impairment of sexual strength. Such a derange
ment frequently comes from worry, overwork, mental strain,
etc., which gradually weakens and injures the system before the unfortunate victim realizes
the true nature of his trouble. Nervousness, weak back, dizziness, loss of memory, spots before
the eyes, despondency, etc., often are the first symptoms of an impairmentof manly vigor, and if
neglected serious results are sure to follow. I want to talk to every man who has any of these
symptoms of weakening of his manly functions. lean promptly correct all irregularities, and
under my skillful treatment you will have restored allot the strength and glory of your man
hood. Whether you consult me or not, do not jeopardize your health by experimenting with
ready-made medicines, free samples, so-called quick cures, etc., as the most delicate organs of
the body are involved, and only an expert should be entrusted with your case. Send for free
