Ur. William Uradford In tbe Sev

Congressman Gordon Lee offered

Lee was fortunate In securing Dr.
Wiliam Bradford, of Cedartown, to

Dr. Bradford visited nearly every

succeeded In working up a really
.wonderful interest all over tbe dis

tr«n to successfully cover the entire
state, and much of the success of

, For this reason Mr. Campbell
thinks It would be s very wise mova
to have one keen, alert, aggressive
man In charge of each district—
probably congressional districts
would answer tbe purpoee. Mr.
Campbell Is now bnsy working to

Thera Is no doubting the marvel-

form of action at common law, to try
the title to the land Involved In the
suit; John Doe being the plaintiff
and Richard Roe defendant; two
fictlrfoua persons.
Roe as required by low, gave Bray
notice that he, Roe, had (been sued,
disclaimed all title to, or Interest Iu
the land In suit, and advised Bray
to appear at the next term of court,
and by order of court, be made de

made, file a plea of the general Issue,

hla title. This Bray did not do, but
only filed a plea of tho general Issue.
Upon the ca?l of the case, and af

ready for trial, I stated to tho court
that no consent rule had been en

CURES
RHEUMATISM
'• row# row.
The usual cause of Rheumatism is an excess of uric acid in the
blood which weakens and acidifies this vital fluid, and prevents the
proper amount of nourishment being afforded the muscles, nerves and
tendons. The pains and aches of Rheumatism may be temporarily
relieved by the use of liniments, hot applications, and other external
treatments, but the disease cannot be permanently benefited by such
measures, and is bound to become chronic and dangerous if such
things are depended upon alone. S.S.S. cures Rheumatism in the
only way it is possible to cure the disease. It goes down into the
blood, and removes the uric acid from the circulation so that the
nerves, bones, muscles and joints are all lubricated and fed with nour
ishing matter instead of being constantly irritated and inflamed with
the snarp, acrid impurity. When S.S.S. has cleansed and purified
the blood the pains and aches cease, all inflammation disappears,
stiffened muscles are made supple, and every symptom of Rheumatism
passes away. Book on Rheumatism and medical advice free to all..
