Mr Steads screnmlness and tin en-

of proportion always offend us but lu
this proposal of his to popularize tho
cry for peace by an endless series of

Judgment than ueual and may In the
end accomplish some little good He
Jias probably stieiiigthened tho czars
hands In dealing with his own ndvl
ers and soldiers The monarch must
have been a little dismayed to find
that Europe responded so chillingly to
his appeal und a popular moteincut In

will probably cxajrgcrtae as sovereigns

couragement The Spectator

Crippled by
Rheumatism
Those who have Rheumatism And
themselves growing steadily worse all
the While One reason of this Is thai
the remedies prescribed by the doctors
contain mercury and potash which ul-
timately intensify the disease by eaus
ing tho joints to swell and ttlffen
groducing a severe aching of the bones
S S has been curing Rheumatism
for twenty years o en tho wor3t cases
which seemed almost incurable
Capt O I Iluahesthe popular railroad
conductor of Columbia S O had an eiperl
cncewlth Rheumatism which conMnced Ulu
that there Is only one
cure tor that painful dlB
ease He says I was a
great sulTeror from mur

scribed by my physician

now I am as well as I i
ever was lnmy life lamj
sure that your medicine I
cured me and I would l
recommend It to any one
suffering from any blood disease
Everybody knons that Rheumatism
is a dlsensed state of the blood and
only n blood remedy is the only proper
treatment but a remedy containing
potash and mercury only aggravates
the trouble
being Purely Vegetable ges direct to
the very cause of the disease and a per-
manent cure always results It is the
only blood remedy guaranteedto con-
tain no potash mercury or other dan-
gerous minerals
