Do You Know How It Feels ? '
Rheumatism, Every one has beard
the word ''How's your Mother?'
"Oh, she's well except her rheuma
tism." How carelessly the answer
is given. Do you know how it feels
to have rheumatism? Oh! it's terri
ble, the welling and the excruciat
ing pain of ankle, knee, elbow and
shoulder, just as if each point was a
bundle of irritated nerves, each one
seemingly bent on giving more pain
than the other. Laying awake all
night longing for d.ay.lig-ht, aching
too severely to sleep, applying lini
ment every half hour to temporari
ly relieve the agony. Praying, curs
ing, turning, twisting, but no ease,
no comfort. What is it that eauses
rheumatism Ah, there are a thous
and, causes. 'What'is it that cures
rheumatism? Thank God, there i
at least one cure. It is called BL B.
B., or Botanic fijood. Balm. It has
cureq more cases of rneumatism
than a,ny other known remedy. Try

Water for Baltics.
A physician writes urgently on
behalf of the infants. He says: "Per
mit me to call the attention of mo
thers who have children unable to
talk, to the necessity of giving them a
little cold, water frequently in hot
weather. They suffer from thirst
equally with us, but they are help
less and dumb. Thev can onlv.crv
and moan. The mother wonders
what can ail them, searches for pins,
offers them food, and exhausts her
patience in hunting for the cause.
The torments of thirst which they
suffer briugs on a fever and often
serious illness, which sixty, drops of
cold water would prevent. Kvery
person who understands thin should
urge upon mothers the necessity of
frequently giving them a teaspoon
fnl of cold water.1'
