CEORCIA.
His Death Laid to Scientists.
Savannah, Ga., November 30.—(Special.)
John A. Turner died yesterday without
the attention of a physician, and Solic
itor General tv. W. Osborne will present
the case to the consideration of the grand
jury for it to say whether or not there
was any criminal liability for his death.
It is said there are two phases of the
ease, one of the illegal practice of medi
cine by the Christian Scientists, and the
other that of negligence in allowing a
man to die without proper attention.
Mr. Turner would not allow physicians
to treat him. He would not permit his
wife to apply simple household remedies,
fixing his faith in the Christian Science
doctrine.
When Mr. Turner died. W. H. Teasdale,
n professor of the faith, and a practi
tioner under its teachings, and a lady
who had assisted in mlnitering to Mr.
Turner were unable to give a certificate
for burial.

MUMATISM
An All tHe Year Kotind Disease.,
'' A Rheumatism does not come and go with winter
time always; in fact some suffer more during the
" VST' • Spring and Summer than at any other season. When
■ J the blood is charged with Uric Acid, Alkali and other
v’ I irritating poisons, then the system is in the right
J I condition for Rheumatism to develop, and an attack
- is liable to come at any time, Winter or Summer.
i, ■)_./. ? ;-p Rheumatism, because it attacks different parts of
- , ■'•JA.— the body, and is sudden or slow in its action, is given
' b*'\ G-X -i various names such as acute and chronic, muscular,
' v-' articular, inflammatory.mercurial and sciatic, but it is
— s the same old acid blood that causes all. Some are
taut sufierers, while others have only occasional spells of Rheumatism,
t r. either kind is wearing upon the constitution, and in time produces
i t-Iness in the muscles and joints, and sometimes the acids thrown off by
