RUBBED AWH
Rubbing with liniments, blistering the effected parts, the application ei
plasters, and other means of external treatment, are usually helpful in
relieving the pains anil aches of Rheumatism, but such remedies do not
reach ttie CAUSE of the disease, and are therefore in no sense curative.
Rheumatism is due to an exccsa of uric acid in the blood, brought about by
indigestion, poor bowel action, weak kidneys, and a general sluggish condition
oftk system. The circulation deposits this irritating poison in the different
muscles, nerves, tissues and joints of the body, and soon the painful symptoms
of Rheumatism are produced. The pains at first may be wandering and slight;
but as the blood becomes more fully saturated with the nric acid poison, the
disease grows worse and after awhile gets to be chronic. The slight, wander
ing pains now become sharp and cutting at the least exposure to dampness
or night air, or any constitutional irregularity, the bones ache, the muscles
ere not as free in action aa before, ana where the acid poison is allowed to
remain in the blood the joints often become so clogged with corrosive sub
stances that they are left permanently stiff and useless. Rheumatism can
never be nibbed away, nor can it be conquered and driven from the system
until the acid-laden blood has been cleansed
and purified. No other medicine does this so
effectually as S. S. S. It dissolves and re
moves the impurities and sends a stream af
rich, strong blood to the affected parts, which
_ soothes the irritated nerves, inflamed musetes
VEGETABLE and flesh, and the sufferer obtains relief that
is permanent because the real- cause of the
disease bis been removed. Special book on Rheumatism and any medical

Bon of Commiskmer Saccmnbs to
Pneumonia in Atlanta.
Many hearts were saddened In
Thomasrille Friday by the nows ot
death, early that morning In At
lanta, of Samuel Guyton McLendon,
ion ot Hon. S. 0. McLendon of this
city. The young man was stricken
with appendicitis several days ago
an'd was operated on at one of the
Atlanta hospitals. Be was recover
ing from the operation but was at
tacked by pneumonia and la his wesk
ened condition succumbed to the
dread disease early Friday morning.
"'His funeral will take plaoe today in
Athens, Mrs. McClendons old home
and he will be laid* to rest la the oem-
etery there beside another child who
died several years ago.
Ouyton was xourteen years or age
and was a student at the Ga. Military
Academy at the of his death. He
was a lad of groat promise thero.
-fihere Is universal regret that the
young life should have been cut
short at such an untimely season.
He was an only child and was Idol-
llzed by his father and mother. The
tenderest sympathy of this commun
ity where both are known and loved
so well goes out to the stricken par
ents In their deep bereavement.
The principle topic of conversation
on the streets Saturday was the pri
mary of the day before and the vic
tory of Judge -Montgomery and the
anti-cow force*. The managers and
clerks did not finish their work until
Ova o'clock In the morning and spent
tea fall hoars counting (the ballots.
The extreme closeness of the result
was a matter of surprise to almost
every one.
Most of the defeated candidates
and supporters of the ,cow faction
took tbelr medicine In good part.
They were good natared about It and
submitted to the guying their friends
on the other':side gave them without
protest. Some of them wero as sour
and sore as could be and It was net
safe to say “primary” to them.
