John B. Gor don at the Star Theatre last Monday > night to hear his lecture “The First Days of the Confederacy.” It was a -plendid recital of incidents—both j patbetic and humorous—of the first days of the struggle of the Confedera cy. At times Geo. Gordon grew elo quent andtuld his audience spell bound, while in the next moment lie had it convulsed with laughter at the ludicrous. For about oie hour and thirty minutes Gen. Gordon enter tained his hearers, who gave him the closest attention. Gen. Gordon was introduced in most fitting words by Capt H. P. Griffith. Everybody knows (Japt. Griffith, and knows therefore that, thi- introduction was worthy of tbe man and the occasion. At the close of the lecture Gen. Gordon held a levee and a goad por tion of the audience went forward to shake hands with the distinguished soldier and citizen. Commander D A Thomas, of the U. 8. V., introduced those who went forward to meet Gen. Gordon At the conclusion of the entertain ment Gen. Gordon repaired to tbt residence of Mr. A. N. Wood, on “TTIIEJ ICir^O.” Those who have ever felt its keen, cutting pains, or witnessed the hit. use suffering of others, knpw that Rheumatism is torture, and that it is right ly called “The King of Pain.” All do.notsuffer alike. Some are suddenly seized with the most excrucia ting pains, and it seems every muscle and joint in the body was being torn asunder. Others feel only occasional slight pains for weeks or months, when a sudden change in the weather or exposure to damp, chilly winds or night air brings on a fierce attack, lasting for days perhaps, and having the pa tient with a weakened constitution or crippled and deformed for all time. An acid, polluted condition of the blood is the cause of every form and variety of Rheumatism, Muscular, Articular, Acute, Chronic, Inflammatory and Sciatic, and the blood must be purged and purified before there is an end to your aches and pains. External applications, the use of liniments and plasters, do much toward temporary relief, but such treatment does not reach the real cause or cleanse the diseased blood ; but 8. S. vS., tbe greatest of all blood puri tiers and tonics, does cure Rheumatism by antidot in g an 1 neutraliz ing the poisonous acids and building up the weak and sluggish blood. It is safe and reliable in all forms of Rheumatism. It makes the old acid blood rich, and the pain tortured mus cles and joints are relieved, the shattered nerves are made strong, and the entiresystem is invigorated and toned up by the use of this great vegetable remedy. If you have Rheumatism, write us, and our physicians will furnish with out charge any information desired, and we will mall free our book on Rheumatism.
