Helpless Rheumatics! Rheumatism is no respecter of per sons —the healthy and vigorous are as liable to its attacks as the weak. The symptoms of the disease are almost unnoticed at first, so insidi ously do they steal over the body; gradually the little pains and stillness increase, until they develop greater inconvenience day by day. The knees, ankles, and other joints of the body ache constantly, swell ing to several times their natural size ; the patient finds himself unable to get around ; is soon incapacitated for business, and later is confined to his bed, utterly helpless. It is a great mistake to expect relief from such condition by the applica tion of liniments and other external remedies. The medical profession ad mit that the disease is in the blood, and it is but reasonable that only a blood remedy, one purely vegetable, and free from potash, can afford re lief. 8. S. S. (Swift’s Specific) is an unfailing remedy for Rheumatism, and has cured the severest cases, where other remedies failed to reach the disease. tMr. Frank T. Rey nolds, of Dalton, Ga,, was a sufferer from Rheumatism since his boyhood. He writes: ‘‘Ever since I was twelve years of age I have suffered intensely with Muscular Rheuma tis m , which, at one time, kept me in bed for eighteen months. I took all kinds of treatment, and visited many famous springs, but could get only temporary relief; the disease always returned, and at times was so painful that it was impossible for me to use my arms and legs. I tried almost everything that was sug gested, and after eighteen years of suffering, S. S. S. was recommended, and 1 was happy to, at last, find a cure for this puiliful trouble. S. S. S. seemed to get at the disease promptly, and afforded immediate relief.” The experience of Mr. E. J. Gibson, of Madison, Ga., was similar to the above. f... , r _ He says: ‘‘l tried far WRi almost every rheu- I matic remedy I Jwgßjjy, V heard of, but grew ,\k worse instead of ' * better. The sharp, r"ls aching pains, pe- \\: j//'%%>■' culiar to Khcmua tism took possession of my entire body, and the suffering 1 endured was intense. 1 was soon unfit for business, ami became as helpless as a child. The potash pre scriptions of the doctors almost ruin ed my digestion, and I found no relief in anything until S. S. S. (Swift’s Specific) was recommended. Several bottles cured me completely, and for more than four years I have not had a symptom of Rheumatism.” S. 8. H. is unlike the many blood tonics on the market, for it cures the most obstinate cases, which they can not reach. It is a real blood remedy,| and is the only one guaranteed Purely V ege table. It cures Cancer, Scrofula, Conta gious Blood Poison, Eczema Rheuma tism, Catarrh and other lilood diseases, It matters not how deep-seated.

HOW TOFIND OUT- Fill a bottle or common water glass with urine and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling indicates a diseased condition of the kidneys. When urine stains linen it is positive evidence of kidney trouble. Too fre quent desire to urinate or pain in the back is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. WHAT TO DO. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that I)r. Kilmer's Swamp- Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef fects following use of liquor, wine or beer and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and the extraordi nary efiect of Swamp-Rodt is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distress ing cases.

This fact was learned by a clergyman of this city, who recently conducted a Sunday service at the penitentiary and it was elicited by his remarking to one of the keepers that there were a great many intelligent faces in the group of prisoners comfronting him. The clergyman made mental notes 01 some of the faces, and after the ser vice he pointed them out to the keep er and asked if they were not college graduates. Out of the five men in dicated by him only one was a college graduate, and, to the clergyman’s dis may, the keeper designated as college men three of the most repulsive anil vicious looking prisoners in thegroup. ()ne of the most intelligent faces in the throng was described by the mat ter of fact keeper as belonging to “a tough’ tin, who’s been on the island off and on ever since he was a kid." —New York Times.

Am Incident of Shifting the Royal From One Cage to Another. “Once,” said an old circus man, ‘‘we had a tiger get loose. This was in a menagerie in a fixed location, where we had been for some time. The cages for the animals were ranged along on a platform around a big floored space for spectators. The show was in a building made for it. ‘‘SVe bad a very good collection of animals, including a full grown royal Bengal tiger. The tiger cage had got rather old, and we set out to shift the tiger into anew one. We had the new cage all ready, and one afternoon alter the show was over and the people had all gone we brought it in and moved it up in front of the old cage standing on the platform and blocked it up so that it was on the same level with the oth er, and then moved the two cages up close together, face to face. The cage doors didn’t swing. They slid up through an opening in the roof- of the cage, and what we were going to do was to raise these doors when we got the cages close together and drive the tiger from one cage to the other and then shove down the door of the new cage and put that on the platform. ‘‘Well we got the cages up close to gether and doors opposite, and a man on (lie roof of each cage raised the doer of that cage, and then we began to prod the tiger to make him go through the opening into tbo-other cage. He started for it and put his paw across the nar row space between the two cages, hut instead of putting it over inside the dooway of the other cage ho putt it against the first bar on the side of the door and pushed on it, and pushed tho cage away a little bit. That was bad. We ought to have made the cages fast together, hut we hadn’t. We tried to start him along a little faster, but in stead of going through into tho other cage he k< pt pushing on that bar and pushing the other cage away. ‘‘All this time he was getting a little hit. farther out of the old cage, hut not into tlie new one. The man on top of the old cage tried to shut that door down then, so as to pin the tiger in it and hold him till we could drive him hack, hut the door jammed when he first tried it, and lie couldn’t budge it, and all the time the tiger was pushing the new cage a little hit farther away and getting farther out himself. Tho man on top of the new cage was still holding his door open, hoping that the tiger would step across into the new cage yet, and then lie would drop it down and hold him, hut the tiger kept pushing the cage away till there was easy room, and then he just dropped down on to the floor and walked round the end of tho new cage out into tho arena. “ ‘Look out!’ nays the man on top of | the cage, and wo did, and left the tiger I boss of the show, while we made ar rangements to recapture him, and the tiger started in to take a look around on his own account. Thero wasn’t any body to get in his way. He had the whole place all to himself, and ho waved his tail and glared around and started, and kept going till he canto to tin' monkey cage. That seemed to in terest him more than anything else, and he made his iirst stop there and stood waving his tail and glaring at the mon keys. He seared the little monks almost to death, just standing there looking at them, and they rushed over to the back ; of the cage and flattened themselves 1 against it, trying to got away as far as j they could. “When the tiger pushed his cage' away, his paw was against a bar on one j side of the door, nearer ouo end of the i cago than the other, and so ft was that; end of the cage that he pushed out; the 1 other end stayed in by the old cage; it 1 made a kind of V shaped opening be-1 tween the cages, and the tiger had j jumped down into that and gone around tlio end of the cage that was pushed out. t This V shaped space made a kind of > shelter, too, when the tiger was around | on the other side, as he was when he | w as looking into the monkey cage, and i one of the keepers hurried in with about I a quarter of beef and threw it iuto the j old cage and pushed it over as far as he | could into ouo corner. “The tiger smelled the meat. I sup- j pose he had been thinking about how i he would like the monks. He could have eaten about one at a mouthful, and there were just about enough iu that cage to mako a square meal for him, but the bars were in the way, and he knew what the smell of the beef meant, and he turned away and made for his own cage again, walked across the open space, waving his tail, and walked around the end of the pushed out cage into the little triangular space and jumped up into tho old cage and made for the meat iu the corner, and a nnui jumped upon thereof and jammed down the gate. “Well, you see, there didn’t anything very desperate happen after all. Still, it was about as much tiger as we want ed for one day. ” —New York Sun. Just a WCTerenc In the Time. The composer Henry Smart played an organ in a London church, and his recital after church excited much atten tion, but one morning after a selection from one of Mozart’s masses a church warden came into the organ loft and begged to inform Mr. Smart that they had decided that they could not have such jiggy stuff played in their church. “Very well, sir,” was the answer. “It shall be altered. ” On the next Sunday dirgelike sounds proceeded from tho organ, and the church warden congratulated the player on the solemn und elevating effect of the music. “I am glad you like it, ” answered Mr. Smart. "Doubtless if I played it a little quicker you will see the reason it affected you.” And, suiting the ac tion to the word, tho popular straius of “Jump, Jim Crow,” resounded from the organ. After this Henry Smart played what he liked. —Pearson's Weekly. HIS AMANUENSIS. SHE WROTE A LETTER FOR THE SICK SOLDIER BOY TO HIS MOTHER. She Alio Brought Him Flowers anil Dainty Things to Eat—Ho Didn’t Know Who Hi* “Hospital Angel" Was Until He Re turned Homo and Saw the Letter. ‘‘l have a letter yon would like to ice, I guess,” said Assembly man James H. Agon of West Superior. “With you'."” “No. It is too precious to carry around in a grip or pocket. ” “Who wrote it and what dees it con tain?” “Let me tell you a story before an swering your double question: In 18G4, while following Grant near Richmond, and when we had come so close to it that they could hear our muskets and we their church bells, I was stricken with a fever and sent to hospital. In time they landed me, more dead than alive, in one of the great hospitals at Washington. I was a very sick boy. Boy is right, for that was all I was— sweet 10, as a girl of that age would be. For three weeks I had no ambition to live. “One day, after I bad passed the dan ger point and was taking a little notice of what was going on, a number of la dies came through the hospital. They had baskets containing delicacies and bouquets of beautiful flowers. One of them stopped at each cot as they passed along. A hunch of blossoms was hand ed to each sick or wounded soldier, and if he desired it a delicacy of some kind was also distributed. Every now and then oue of the women sat in a camp chair and wrote a letter for the poor fellow who hadn’t tho strength to write himself. “I wanted nothing to eat or drink, but tboso pretty posies held my atten tion. One of the ladies stopped at my cot. I hadn’t yet got my full growth, and in my then emaciated, pale condi tion I must have looked like a child. Sho seemed surprised as she looked at me. “ ‘You poor child, what brought you hero?’ “ ‘They sent mo here from the Army of the Potomac. ’ “ ‘But you are not a soldier?’ “‘Yes, madam. I belong to a New York regiment. The surgeon here has the record. ’ “ ‘Can Ido something for you? Can you eat something or take a swallow of wine?’ “ ‘l’m not hungry or thirsty.’ “ ‘Can I write a letter for yon?’ ‘“Not today. I’m too weak. ’ “‘Then I will leavo some of these flowers with you. President Lincoln helped to cull them. I will come again in two or three days. Keep up jour courage. You are going to get well. You must get well. ” “She was the first woman who bad spoken to me since I reached the army. Looking at the sweet flowers which Mr. Lincoln had ‘helped to cull’ and think ing of the dear woman who had spoken so kindly and hopefully had more efi’ect in brightening my spirits than all else that had occurred in the hospital. “Three days later the same lady came again and direct to my cot. “ ‘How is my little soldier boy to day?’ she asked in a way so motlnrly that it reminded me of my good motoer back in New York, tho patriot mother who had given her consent to my going to the war after praying over the matter many times. The hospital angel—that is what wo learned to call those ncble women—after giving me a taste of chicken and jelly asked if I had a mother. She saw by the tears in my eyes that I had. “ ‘Now wo will write mother a let ter/’ “Then sho sat by my side and wrote the letter. I hadn’t been able to write for a month. “ ‘I havo told your mother that I am near her soldier hoy and have talked with him. What shall I tell her for yon? That you are still too weak to write yourself?’ “ ‘Please don’t tell her that. It will make her worry. Tell her I am fast get ting well.’ ‘ ‘Tho first day I got home my mother asked me how I liked Mrs. Lincoln, the president’s wife. “‘I never met Mrs. Lincoln. What made you think I had?’ “Then sho took from n box closely guarded in an old bureau a letter. It read like this: “Dear Mrs. Ages—l am sitting by the *ide of your soldier boy. Ho has been quite nick, but Is getting well. Ho tells me to say to you that he is all right. With respect for the moth er of the young soldier. “Mrs. Abraham Lincoln. “That was the first I knew that it was the president’s wife who had made me those two visits. I begged mymoth ler to give me the letter. ‘You can have it when lam gone. ’ When she died, a box and an old letter folded in a silk handkerchief were among her gifts to me. “The bos, kerchief and letter will pass along the Agen line as mementos too sacred for everyday display.—Chi cago Times-Herald. cures the record op Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. “Has she stolen my heart?” His grace the Duke rose and paced the apartment with nervous energy. “No,” he exclaimed, halting suddenly. “Cer tainly she will pay for it; if not now, ultimately.

The Postmaster c\ Kokomo, Cured of Heart Disease. ■pirOTHM Grateful Men and Women of prominence, and those serving their country equally well by being simply good citizens, good husbands and good wives, show their unselfishness by the anxiety manifested, when, having been cured of Heart Disease by Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure, their first wish is to reach some other sufferer with the good news. s G. W. McKinsey. an honored veteran of the war, and until re cently, postmaster at Kokomo, Ind., writes under date July 26, 94: “I am constantly getting letters from all parts of the United States, asking for information of how I. was cured of Heart Disease. As I had been severely troubled with Heart Disease ever since leaving the army at the close of the late war, I con cluded, some two years ago, to give Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure a trial. The first bottle made a great improvement in my condition, and five bottles completely cured me, and I have not had a symptom of the disease since. I am rejoiced to know that my testimonial has induced others to use your remedies, and am glad to answer all inquiries for the sake of suffering humanity.” And J. R. Bigelow of Webster, Mass., writes on June 15, ’94: “ One year ago I was so feeble from heart disease I was obliged to retire from business, and my physician said there was no chance for recovery. ** * * Asa last chance I tried Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure. It gave me instant relief. I am now well and in active business.” Medical statistics have proven that one person in eveiy four has a weak or diseased heart; yet not one person in forty gives the matter any attention, notwithstanding the fact that Dr. Miles Heart Cure cures Heart Disease per manently in nine cases out of ten, and benefits every case. Dr. Miles’ Remedies are the result of twenty years of study and investigation by the great specialist in Nervous Diseases, Dr. Franklin Miles, and are sold on a positive guarantee that the first bottle will benefit.

It is undoubtedly the best pain-cure on the market, and should be, ready for use, in every liome in the land. Mr. Frank Stubenliaver 1337 Elm St., Dubuque, lowa, states : “I used Salvation Oil on a sprained elbow, -which threatened to prevent me from working, and after several thorough rubbings, I awoke the very next morning much relieved and able to go to work. Had I not used Salvation Oil I certainly would have lost a week's work, which would have amounted to many times the cost of a bottle of Oil. Everybody should keep Salvation Oil in the house.” It is sold everywhere for only 25 cents. Wanted—fin Idea Protect your ideas: thoy may bring you wealth.
