RHEUMATISM
CAN NOT BE RUBBED AWAY
When the joints are sore and swollen, and the muscles throbbing with the
pain of Rheumatism, relief must be had at once, and it is natural to rub the
affected parts with liniments, oils, etc. This treatment does good in a way,
by temporarily relieving the pain and reducing the inflammation, but has no
effect on the disease itself, because Rheumatism is more than skin deep; it
is in the blood and cannot be rubbed away. Rheumatism is brought on by
indigestion, weak kidneys, poor bowel action, stomach troubles and a gen
eral sluggish condition of the system The refuse and waste matters, which
should be carried off through the nat
ural avenues of bodily waste, are
left to sour and form uric acid and
other irritating poisons which are ab
sorbed by the blood, making it thin,
weak and acrid. Then instead of
nourishing the different nerv T es, mus
cles, joints and tissues it fills them
with poison to produce the aches,
pains and other disagreeable symp
toms of the disease. Rheumatism
is usually worse in Winter for the
reason that cold and dampness are
exciting causes. The nerves become
excited and sting with pain, the mus
cles are sore and drawn, the joints
swollen and stiff and the sufferer
lives in intense agony ; and if the
disease is not checked it often leaves
its victims helpless cripples for life.
Rheumatism cannot bp rubbed away
but it can be driven from the blood
by S. S. S. Being a perfect blood
purifier this great remedy soon pro-
While at work for the F. 0. & P. R. R.
in the awampy region, I contracted
Rheumatism and was completely help
less for about four months and spent
over $150.00 with doctors, but got worse
every day, and finally quit them and be
gan ».S.S. I took a few bottles and
was cured sound and well. My health
is now splendid, and I weigh 170
pounds. There is a lady living near me
who is now taking S. S. S. for acute
Rheumatism. For two months she could
not turn herself in bed, but since begin
ning your medicine about three weeks
ago has improved rapidly, and is now
able to sit up. I can recommend S. S. S.
to all suffering from Rheumatism.
Ulah, N. O. S. C. LASSITER.
I was severely troubled with Rheuma
tism. I had it in my knees, legs and
ankles, and any one who has ever had
Rheumatism knows how excruciating
the pain is and how it interferes with'
one at work. I was truly in bad shape
having been bothered with it for ten
years, off and on. A local physician ad
vised me to use S. S. S. I did so. After
taking, two bottles I noticed the sore
ness and pain were greatly reduced. I
continued the medicine and was thor
oughly cured; all pain, soreness and in
flammation gone. I recommend S. S. S.
to all Rheumatic sufferers.,

duces a complete change in the en
tire circulation ; the thin, acrid blood is made pure and rich, and as it goes
through the body nourishes and soothes the irritated nerves, eases the throb-
bing muscles, and dissolves and carries
out of the system the irritating particles
in the joints which are keeping up the
pain and inflammation. S. S. S. cures
^ Rheumatism permanently, and in addi-
B w B tion tones up the digestion and stimu
lates the different members of the body
to their full duty so there is no cause
for another attack. Do not waste time trying to rub Rheumatism away, but
get it out of the fcWd with S. S. S. so that the cold and dampness of Winter
will not keep you in continual pain and agony. Special book on Rheuma
tism and any medical advice will be given free.

PrcmiSbd by the Manifesto oj
October 30th.
OFFICIAL MANOATE IB ISSUED
Impassible to Accustom at Ong Stroke
Population to Nsw Order of Things
Thus Created—^Measures Being Tak
en to Cope With Disturbances.
St. Petersburg, Dec. 5, Tuesday, Vic
Eydtkulinen, East Russia, Dec. 6.—An
official note was Issued today explain
ing that while the government is in
flexibly determined to carry out the re
forms promised by the imperial mani
festo of Oct. 30, it Is impossible a'
one stroke to accustom the population
to the administration of the new order
of things created by the manifesto.
’Until the new legislaticffr required bj
the reforms is affected, the old law*-
must be enforced, except where they
are already replaced by the tempora
ry provisions.
The note adds that the drafts of th t
provisional regulations governing free
dom of the press and the right of as
sooiation have been completed that un
deliberations regarding the reform ol
the council of the empire and the ex

MASTER PLUMBERS LOSE BUIT
Injuction Against Association Is Made
Permanent by Judge.
Atlanta, Dec. 6—The Master Plumb
ers’ association was on Tuesday per
manently enjoined by Judge Pendle
ton from interfering with the business
of M C. Vandiver, who about a yeai
ago brought suit^alleging that he was
about to be driven out of business by
the association.
Mr. Vandiver charged that the local
association of master plumbers is a
branch of a national association whirl
has by-laws in restraint of trade. He
alleges that unless a master plumber
was a member of the organization he
could not purchase supplies anywhere
in the United States.
He charged that these alleged by
laws had been put in operation against
him, and that he was being forced ov
of business thereby. He asked an in.
Junction to restrain the. association
from further interfering with him.
Judge J. H. Lumpkin was at thn
time on the bench, and Issued a re
straining order and set the case for a
hearing. Since that time he has been
succeeded by Judge Pendleton, and
the latter took the case up for a hear
ing nearly a mjnth ago. * He has
heard argument on It for days past
Tuesday he handed down his dec!
sion, which made the injunction per
manent, on the ground that the organ
ization of master plumbers is held to
gether by a contract in restraint of
trade.
The case has attracted widespread
attention, and the result will be learn
ed with interest. It is probable, how.
ever, that the supreme court will have
to pass on the matter before It is Anal
ly disposed of.

Of Recent Korean Minister to France.
A Custom that Prevails.
New York, Dec. 6.—Interest In thi
arrival of the Kaiser Wilhelm II, due
here today is increased because of th<
fact that the steamer has on board
Min Ying Tchan, until recently min
ister from Korea to France, and who
will not know until he reaches N*ew
York of the dgath of Prince Min Yong
Whan, who committed suicide as a re.
suit of the establishment by the Japa
nese government of a protectorate over
Korea.
A Korean custom is that if a per
son’s brother committed suicide, h
must also do so. Friends here hope tin
Mr. Min will not follow the national
custom.
The Kaiser Wilhelm II docks at Ho
boken. Sergeant Slattery in charge
of Hoboken police quarters last night
said that Chief of Police Hayes would
undoubtedly take every precaution to
prevent a suicide.
