Especially are they liable to be at tacked and completely disabled by that most annoying- and painful ailment Rheumatism. Men in all walks of life are subject at any time to be, seized vrith this disease, and besides the great bodily pain; there is almost unbearable mental antruish at the Ihoucrlitof hav ing one's strength and vigor gradually Bupplanted by a condition of utter helplessness;'' Under the effects of Rheumatisan, the strongest men be come the weakest, and the most useful are robbed of their: usefulness. .. Mr. J. A. I LeSenr has lived ,in At lanta, Ga.,ior years, and some of the prettiest residences and most substan tial business blocks of that city .'are monuments to his skill as an architect and buMder. ' Mr. J. A. LeSeur. But like many other busy men, Mr. IveSviur was overtaken by Rheumatism' and soon h& strength gave way to a condition of helplessness. This dread disease produces mare agony, he says, than can well be , described. "For years I have suftered with Sciatic Rhenmatism ar often felt as if a 6mallpiecegi my spine had been takeotitjjdso as if a fragment of hoHrtrgtiell.had passed througlt my left "ino, When 1 would sit down, 'I could nptstraightenup for several minutes, and then only' at the expense of great pain I could get absolirtelyjtao relief, though many remedies were tried. Someone recommended S. S.p. -'and I was almost in despair when, I began its use. J (in three days, however, I was so greatly relieved that I felt vry little incpnvenience from the rheuma tism; The disease grew less painful as I jcontinued the ;S. . S., and very soon! disappeared entirely. S. S. S. also proved to be a fine tonic, as I now have m6re appetite, and feel better than! ever before, in my life. I cannot Bay too much in praise of S. S. S." Rheumatism is a condition of the bfood wbich has always baffled the doctors, and it is a peculiarity that those who' once have it are sure to al ways be subject to its attacks from time! to time. The reason of this is that the doctors are only abje to give temporary relief, but cannot rid the svstem of the disease rjetmanentlY. R J R.

Old People Old people who require medicine to regulate the bowels and kidneys will find the true remedy in Electric Bit ters. This medicine does not stimulate and contains no whiskey nor other in toxicants, but acts as a tonic and alter ative. It acts mildly on the stomach and bowels, adding strength and giving tone to the organs, thereby aiding Na- tune in the performance of the func tfons.

There were several strong points noted and short selling dwindled in popularity. After the opening. which was firm and c higher than yesterday's close, there was a drive made at prices, the intention being to rorce out more long wheat.

The leg was swollen and intensely painful, as the ulcer had eaten its way down to the very bone. All medicines and treatments having failed to effect a cure, the doctors said the leg must come off.

" Jacksonville, Fla., July 1, 1895. Two years ago I had the worst ulcer on my leg I ever saw. It had eaten down to the bone, and my whole leg below my knee, and my foot was swollen and inflamed. The bone was swollen and painful., and discharged a most offensive matter. My physicians said I had necrosis of the bone, and my leg would have to come off. At this stage I commenced to take P. P. P. and to bathe my leg with hot castile soap suds. It began to improve at once and healed rapidly, and is to-day a sound and nseful leg. "I think P. P. P., Lippman's Great Remedy, is all a man could ask for as a blood purifier, as I have known it to t cure so meterrible cases of blood poi soning in a remarkably short time.. "ASA AMMONS."
