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

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.

There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that I)r. Kilmer's

There are 15 college graduates in
prison stripes on Blackwell's island.
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."

MOVING THE TIGER.
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.

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.

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.

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. All druggists sell them at sl, six bottles $5.00,

prevent me from working, and after
several thorough rubbings, I awoke the

able to go to work. Had I not used
Salvation Oil I certainly would have
lost a week's work, which would have
