Rheumatism, as every one
knows, is a symptom of derang
ed kidneys. , It is a condition
produced by the failure of the
kidneys to properly filter or
strain from the blood the uric
acid and others matter which,
if not eradicated, either in the
urine or through the skin pores,
remains in the blood, decompos
es and forms about the joints
and muscles, causing the untold
suffering and deformity of rheu
matism. This prescription is said to be
a splendid healing, cleansing and
invigorating tonic to the kid
neys, and gives almost immed
iate relief in all forms of bladder
and urinary troubles and back
ache. He also warns people in
a leading New York paper
against the discriminate use of
many patent medicines.

A TWussionof the Merits of the
Liar ani the Drunkard.
A debating society ot Belmont
has the following subject for
discussion: "Resolved, That
the Lair has been a greater evil
to the country than the Drunk
ard." Without any attempt to
smear any whitewash on the
drunkard, we will risk saying
that if the affirmative side goes
down to the bottom and fetches
up all the available , argument
against the liar, the drunkard
will look like a saint in compare

Many years ago, in the rural
riiatrirts of south Iredell, a few
plain, citizens met at a small
house in the woods and debated

against these two classes were

their worst form. The judges
decided that the drunkard was
the worse of the two on the
ground that the liar, while a bad
citizen, is in a measure snorn o
his power for evil after he is
found out. but the drunkard is a
