Walton News and Messenger. The ancients believed that rheuma tism was the work of a demon within a man. Any one who has had an attack of sciatic or influnmatojy rheumatism will agree that the infliction is demoni ac enough to warrant the belief.

One application relieves the pain, and this quick relief which it affords is alone worth its cost. For sale by, Winder Drug Cos , Mr. J. M. Tucker, of Walton county, was in the city this morning.
