failed, three $1.00 bottles of Dr.

me and I gained 58 pounds.” It’s ab

Thousand Churches Painted
With L. & M.
There is not much money lost in
buying one pint of ready mixed paint,
but when a quantity is needed, then
it’s big loss to buy any ready mixed
paint. The Longman & Martinez L.
6 M. Paint is semi-mixed, and quickly
made ready for use as follows: to
four gallons of the L. & M. at $1.65
per gallon, add 3 gallons of Linseed
Oil at 50 cts. per gallon, thus making
7 gallons of paint for $3.10 or $1.16
per gallon. Wears and covers like
gold. Sold by Smith Hdw. Co., Gaff
ney; Blacksburg Drug Co., Blacks

Rheumatism
The idea that Rheumatism is strictly
a winter disease, that comes from exposure
or cold, is wrong; a spell of indigestion,
torpidity of the liver, inactive state of the
kidneys, or sudden cooling of the body when
OYtr>heated, being frequent causes of an
attack. Rheumatism is due to an over-acid
condition of the blood and bad circulation.
As it flows through the body the blood
deposits an acrid corrosive
sediment in the joints and N0 UBS FO * CBUTCHM.

condition Rheumatism is pains hayei
liable to come out at any
time, winter or summer. It
is hastened and provoked
by exposure to cold, damp air, sudden cooling of the body when ove*e
heated, a bad spell of indigestion, or anything that is calculated to fur*
ther derange and depress the system ; but these are only exciting and
not the real cause of Rheumatism. It is in the blood, and when thia
vital fluid becomes overcharged with the acid impurities and is running
riot in the veins, an attack is sure to come, whether in summer time of
the cold, bleak days of winter. You are a slave to pain as long as tha
blood is tainted with acid. Liniments and plasters are helpful and use*
ful, but it takes something more than rubbing and blistering to driva
away this demon of pain. S. S. S. goes to the seat of the trouble v

joints and sore, tender muscles, pains and
aches vanish, and the longed-for relief comes to the nervous, pain*
tortured sufferers. S. S. S. contains no minerals, but is guaranteed
purely vegetable. Write us if in need of medical advice, which is given
without charge. Our book on Rheumatism, telling of the different
forms and varieties of this pain-racking disease, is mailed free.
