Bray, tenant In possession, a fictitious 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 fendant In the stead of Roe. In this form of action, the law required Pray, If he wished to be made de fendant in the stead of Roe to ap- and enter Into a rule, common ly xenidg^ the consent rule by whicVhw undertakes, that at the trial he / will confess lease, entry, and ouster, to have been regularly made, file a plea of the general Issue, and tely solely upon the merits of 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 ter both parties had announced ready for trial, I stated to tho court that no consent rule had been en tered Into, neither any order taken, trying Bray defendant In the stead of -Rpq, and presented an order ban d/ftwn for that purpose, to coun sel, the defendant, at the time r.skln#*oounsel to consent to the or der l&ng taken, and upon the re fusal jthereof, T presented another order making Bray defendant ii stead' of Roe. and stated that I In sisted upon the order being allowed to be taken by the court, but. upon objection made by counsel for the 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.
