RHEUMATISM
i BODY RACKED WITH PAIN
No other bodily suffering is equal to that produced by the pain of Rheu-
tnatisrc. When the poisons and acids, which cause this aisease, become in-
trenche«l in the blood there is hardly any part of the body that is not af
fected. The muscles become sore and drawn, the nerves twitch and sting,
the joints inflame and swell, the bones ache, every movement is one of
agony, and the entire body is racked with pain. Rheumatism is brought on
by indigestion, stomach troubles, torpid Liver, weak Kidneys and a general
inactive state of the system. The refuse matter instead of passing off
through nature’s avenues is left to sour and fojP 1 ur i c acid, and other acrid
poisons which are absorbed into the blood. Rheumatism does not affect
all alike. In some cases it takes a

ing and feeding the different parts
with health-giving properties, it fills them with the acids and salts of this
painful and far-reaching disease. The cold and dampness of Winter always
intensify the pains of Rheumatism, and the sufferer to get relief from the
agony, rubs the affected parts with liniments, oils, lotions, etc., or uses
plasters and other home remedies. These are desirable because they give
temporary ease and comfort but have no effect on the real trouble which is in
the blood and beyond the reach of such treatment. S. S. S. is the best rem-
edy for Rheumatism, It goes into the
blood and Attacks the disease at its head,
and by neutralizing and driving out the
acids and building up the thin, sour
blood it cures the disease permanently.
W w While cleansing the blood S. S. S. tones

New York, Dec. 20.—The St. Peters
burg correspondent of the Herald ca
bles an interview secured last Satur
day with M. Shipnoff, minister of
finance, who was asked as to the ex
tent the government suffered by rea
son of political agitation and particu
larly the recent proletariat manifesto
in which the bankruptcy of the govern
ment was trumpeted.
‘T do not seeT to conceal the fact,”
the minister said, “that the movement
has made itself felt among us. Com
ing on the heels of our recent war, it
could not Ire otherwise. But do not
think for a moment that we experience
any alarm or anxiety.”
“How often have you seen a young
and sturdy organism prostrated by ill.
ness whicn iias been insidiously creep
ing on. Have you not often noticed
how an ill man, aided by robust consti.
tution, throws off a malady and after
convalescence emerges from the sick j
room stronger and more capable than
ever?
“That is the positicfn of Russia just
now. The illness Ts in no way fatal,
nor will the convalescence be protract,
ed. I cannot say exactly when the
patient will he able to get out of doors
but rest assured, he will not die. The
medical attendants are absolutely sure
of that. The revolutionary party has
been trying to make capital out of the
alleged impending bankruptcy of the
government, but it is going too far to
apply the word bankruptcy to the gov
ernment of a great country like Rus
sia.
"I authorize you To state positively
that the Russian treasury is in no dif
ficulty nor do we foresee any possibil
ity of financial trouble.
“The revolutionists make a strong
point of having touched a weak spot
by endeavoring to bring about a gen
eral boycott of vodka. That is an
other of their random statements. To
show you how unfqunded it is, just
look here.” Opening his portfolio the
minister pulled out a document show
ing the result to the treasury of the
spirit monopoly for the period from
Jan. 1 to Nov. SO. 1905. Actual income
from that source exceeded by more
than 15,000,000 the amount estimated
in the budget for 1905. "Now, you can
Judge,” continued M. Shipoff. "how
wild Is the assertion of our opi»onents.”
Great uneasiness prevails abroad
among commercial cifcles interested
in Russian business,” was suggested.
“That, unfortunately, is only too
true.” replied the minister, “and no
doubt it will take time to dispel the
distrust but you will see that confi
dence will speedily be restored.”
O'Shields Claims that Victims Were In
Compromising Position.
Gainesville, Ga. f Dec. 20.—Henry
O’Shlelds, a young white man, who has
been conducting a business on what is

his goods from the contiagration,

back part of his house and there found
his wife and Emmett in a compromis
ing position. Calling a friend, he point
ed to the man and woman.

bor's house and aske.l to borrow his
pistol. One was lent him and O’Shields
returned to the house and shot his wife
and Emmett down. Both are mortally
wounded, and their death is expected
at any moment.
O’Shields then sought some friends
and immediately went to the Hall
county jail, where he surrendered him.

he hopes both his wife and Emmett
will die, and that he has no regrets for
doing the shooting.
