But to judge from the actions These Pills Hav.e Cured Rheu matism in Almost Every Form and in Ad vanced Stages. Rheumatism may be inherited and this fact makes it conclusive that it is a disease of the blood. Rheumatism is a painful inflamma tion of the muscles or of the coverings of the joints and is sometimes accom panied by swelling. The pain is sharp and shooting and does not confine itself to any one part of the body, but after settling in one joint or muscles for a time, leaves it and passes on to an other. The most dangerous tendency of the disease is to attack the heart. External applications may give relief for a time hut the disease cannot be cured until the blood is puri fied. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are the best medicine for this purpose as their action is directly on the blood, mak ing it rich, red and healthy. When the blood is pure there can he no rheuma tism. No one who suffers from rheumatism should fail to read the case of Mrs. Ellen A. Russell, of Soutli Goff St., Auburn. Me. She says: "I had been sick for fifteen years from impure blood, brought on by «overwork. My heart was weak anti my bands color less. I was troubled with indigestion and vomiting spells, which came on every few months. I had no appetite and used to have awful fainting spells, falling down when at my work.

Felt. 13.—Congressman Champ Clark, of Missouri, and G«ver-$ nor Warfield, of Maryland, with Gov ernor Stuart, of this Slate, wece the principal speakers at tlte annual Lin coln day banquet of tiie Merchants and Manufacturers Association, of Pitts burg. ' Governor Warfield spoke on tho topic, “The South as Lincoln left it, and the South of today.” and in part sttid that the “the South as Lincoln left it, was a country bereft of all save honor. I firmly believe that had Lin coln lived he would have given Gen eral Lee his systematic co-operation in the task he undertook of healing and binding up the wounds of his country men and directing them in the paths of peace and patriotism. “Lincoln would never have sanction ed the indiscriminate enfranchisement of the negro, nor approval of the four teenth and fifteenth amendments, .nor have tolerated the plundering and out rages of the reconstruction period. “It was not the elevation of the negro to a social or political equality with the white man that Lincoln advocated. It was the institution of slavery that he disapproved. There is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever for bid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality.” Governor Warfield said tiiat the scheme of the politicians who forced the negro enfranchisement, to punish the white people of the South and keep them in subjection, is returning to plague those who fathered the outrage, as race issue is today more acute in the State of Ohio than it is in any other State in the Union. The speaker then presented statistics of the growth and progress of the South, adding: “You of Pittsburg the bluo-jacVets se«d in requests for been some nuestion' as' to whether the ! books which they desire, and in Mutual inspectors should continue to this 14 ,s poss'Ne to find out the . receive their $35 a dev salary on the 1 kinds of books which will please them 1 know better than I do how the South davs thev were off duty.
