RHEUMATISM
COMMON IN SUMMER
The time to get rid of Rheumatism ii
in Summer while the blood is endeavor
ing to purge itself of all poisons and im
purities, and the skin is active, with all
the pores and glands open and able, in
this way, to assist in the elimination.
Columbus, O., 1365 Mt. Vernon, Ave.
Six years ago I had a severe attack ol
Inflammatory Rheumatism, and the doc
tors I had did me no good. They changed
medicine every week and nothing t hey
r rescribed seemed to help me. iMnally
left off their medicine and began the
use of B. 8. S. My knee and elbow joints
were ewollen terribly, and at one time
my hands were so swollen and painful
that Icould not close them when opened.
I was getting discouraged, you may be
sure, when I began S. B. 8., but as I saw
it was help) ng me I continued it, and to
day I am a sound, well man and have
never had a return of the disease.
R. H. CHAPMAN.
The inactivity of the Liver, Kidneys ami
Bowels causesthe refuse matter to remain
in the system, which, coming in contact
with the different acids of the body,
forms nric acid to be absorbed by the
blood and distributed to the different
joints and muscles, producing the pains,
inflammation and other distressing symp
toms of Rheumatism. The wandering
pains of the disease remind the sufferer
that the poison is still in the blood and
he should lose no time in getting it out.

the State newspaper people at White

White Stone Lithia Springs is in

oil of grace runs down upon their pro
fessional philacteries. They are pa
triarchal. and in their presence many
of the younger brethren feel like the
prodigal son that spent his patrimony
in riotous living. They organize us
for the thirty-first time, and many of
us are still here—motley and mixed up
—dry cattle and yearlings. It is de
lightful. And we look at Elbert Aull
and Charlie Langston, and say to our
selves, “Could two other men be found
who would have been so wisely ju
dicious, so bravely efficient, so sweet
ly, everlastingly generous?” And
after the organization, we are turned
loose until the morrow—to disitort our
selves on the hill side or mountain
top—the dry cattle of thirty-one years
and the little boys who wear lace socks
and short sacks that cover nothing.

mark. For many years Col. Hardwick
has been one of the foremost, most
honored, most trusted, most efficient
officials of th“ great road: and Presf-
vlent Aull aptly introduced him to the
association as a “high official of that
great soulless corporation that has
done more for the south than any oth
er human agency.” Col. Hardwick is
a thin, intellectual. Intensely high-bred
man. The beginning of his speech, an
exceedingly pertinent tribute to Gen.
Robert E. Lee. was a gem of elo
quence and poetic utterance, and so
turned from a long journey into the a j go wag peoration—thoughts and
great progressive fashionable world,
and we have learned that the most
available time for silent prayer in this
world is at the tables of fashionable
hotels. Do not fret at the table ser
vants because they keep you waiting
from five to seven hours. Do not fret
at all. They cannot help it—either in
America or Europe. Wisely embrace
the opportunity for silent prayer and
meditation upon your latter end. We
have long ago learned to do it. Then
after your silent prayer, social com

Farmers’ Bank Accounts.
(Yorkville Enquirer.)
Although there is a noticeable steady
increase in the number of people who
keep bank accounts .the per cent, of
people who ought to have such ac
counts, but who do not have them, is
very large throughout this section.
There are numerous farmers who keep
$100 or more about their person or
homes, where they should never have
more than $ r > or $10 at a time, and
this surplus cash necessarily gives
them much concern. After a man
opens his bank account he soon be
gins to wonder how the bank people
can afford to do so much work for him
as they do without charge. He not
only finds the bank a source of great
convenience, but in a very short time
he begins to realize the greater safety
of bis surplus cash. There are some
oldtimers who have from one cause
or another become prejudiced asrains 4
banks; this prejudice is rapidly dying
out. It should have been dead years
ago. for it lives now only at the ex
pense of those who still harbor it.

to enable her to forget her other
miseries.
