A gentleman by the name of Cipio, a
French Canadian, was foreman of the

time,attempted to decipher the chiro-

the course of the night's work he
went for copy and upon the copy hook

Rheumatism
^ * Is Not a SKin Disease*
Most people have an idea that rheumatism is contracted like a cold, that the
damp, chilly air penetrates the muscles and joints and causes the terrible aciies
and pains, or that it is something like a skin disease to lie rubbed away with lini
ment or drawn out with plasters; but Rhuematism originates in the blood and is
caused by Urea, or Uric Acid, an irritating, corroding poison that settles in mus
cles, joints and nerves, producing inflammation and soreness and the sharp, cutting
paiuspeculiar to this distressing disease.

This plan of insurance, originated and copyrighted by the
.ETNA LIFE, was first introduced in the year 1868. It waa
adopted for the purpose of supplying the increased demand for
insurance at low rates, It affords reliable insurance at a mini
mum rate ; it gives what is equivalent to large dividends in ad-
30c vance—what ordinarily requires years to obtain under other
plans. It is peculiarly adapted to those who want immediate
protection, but are not ready or able to pay for endowment or
other plans more expensive.
All policies issued on this plan requiring to be renewed for
a second, third, and fourth term of ten years have been so re
newed for more than 35 years at the original rate, thus realizing
the expectations of all interested. No other company can show
such a record.
