raOF. BICHABDS' IiECTUKE. One of the most remarkable audiences eyer assembled in the Opera House listened to Prof. Richards' Interesting lecture last night, It was more remarkable for what it was not, than what it W8S.

The most notorious, indifferent or worthless show that h?.s been here has had more attendants. It is not in criticism but surprise that this fact is mentioned. A great misapprehension of the nature of the lecture must have existed. Prof. Richards was not interrupted in his scientific enthusiasm by the laek of auditors, but ou locating them in their scattered seats proceeded to explain and illustrate the phenomena of electricity most lucidly and with elaborate and brilliant experimetitf".

The beautiful effects of the Geieeler tubes remind us of the patience with which thousands wearily stand Fourth of July nights for hours watching much inferior displays in fire-works. The remarkable illusions and transformations cauSed by the electric fluid were a more beautiful spectacle than the spectacular efforts used to set off cheap shows—reserved seats, one dollar. A detailed account of the lecture might not be interesting, though the iimited audience enjoyed it and marked their Appreciative of the unusual and successful experiments by repeated applause.

FBAHK MAYO AS BAVY CROCKETT. This popular actor, supported by a powerful company, will give his "Davy Crockett" at the Oper House this afternoon and evening. Oa the latter occasion every lady attending will receive a handsome souvenir photograph of the star, of whom the Indianapolis Journal saye: Mr. Mayo's experience in the legitimate cost bim dearly, but "Davy Crockett" is a play that never gets old, and it promises to bring him back what he lost in other fields. It is called "An Idyl of the Backwoods, a Symphony inLeaves and Moeses," sea," and the names are not inappropriate, for.it tells the story of honesty and nobility and manly devotion among those Iwho were far removed from civilization. It is an admirable play in every respect no belter has been written for years. There can ba no standard of criticism in speaking of Mr. aye's individual performance—for he made the part of Davy Crockett and. no person other than him, has, err cafi play it satisfactorily. I) is the perfection of dramatic representation in every point. The part of EleanorVaughn in the present company ia assumed by Miss Laura Clancy, a young actress of remarkable powers and promise, who does it excellently. She was particularly strong in the second act, her reading of "Young Licbinvar" being the best ever heard hera. The oiber meaibere of the company are thoroughly competent, Mrs. Thompson and Mr. Hunter deserving special mention.

A Gang of Counterfeiters Arrested in This City I^St Night.

The Able Manner in Wb?cli a fie- ... teclire Worked Up tiie Ctfse.

Full Detail of the Discovery of the ftendezToos and Criminal#.

One of the .most important captures ever made in this city cr vicinity was effected about half-past ten o'clock last night in the cellar of the old W. W. Davit*' pork house, near the river bank, just belcw the I. & St. L. bridge. The partus ai rested are members of a gang of counterfeiters who have been working for some time at the place named. Three persons were arrested who gave their names as I. M. McGiven, A. C. Soldeu and Pete McCorkle,.tbe latter of whom claims to be related to Pete McCartney, the celebrated counterfeiter now serving out a sentence in the State prison north. The names of the men are most likely fictitious, they all having been known under different aliases. The arrest was made by United States Detective Eli E. Gautheir assisted by Deputy United States Marshal Fischc and Story, from Indianapolis. The

CIEOTTMOTANCES OF THE ABBEST, with the incidents which led thereto form an interesting story. For several months past the business men of Indianapolis have been greatly troubled by the circulation of numbers of dangerous counterfeits of silvtr dollars. The polfee authorities of that city made an organized attempt to trace the origin of the makers of the counterfeits, but were unsuccessful, The Treasury department at Washington was notified of the matter, and a special detective was put to work on the subject. By a series of discoveries, made only as successful detectives can, this officer found out that the counterfeits were shipped to Indianapolis from this city. He accordingly Cama over here, dav before yesterday, for the purpose of springing the trap, which he has for some time been engaged ia setting. His prerense in the city wss mentioned in the personal column of the Express yesterday mornicg. Yesterday he telegraphed to Indianapolis ior two deputy U. S. Marshals to assist him in the arrest which he felt sure could be successfully made last night: The reasons which led to this were strong and 8TARTLTKQ REVELATIONS.

Thursday night after Detective Gautheir had finished supper at the Terre Haute bouse, he walked out of the hotel for a stroll down Main Street in the moonlight. Just as he reached ths corner of the building, he was jostled by a stranger, going in the opposite direction, and who stopped and apologized for his carelessness. Something in the manner and gestures of the stranger struck the detective as being familiar^ and like a flash be recognized him ae Ike cGiven, who under a number of aliases, had given him serious trouble on several occasions previous to this.

With the detective, to think was but to act, and while McGiven continued on his way east, Gauthier crossed to the south side of the street, and followed i.im until the suspicious character entered a well known fancy establishment on East Main street. The detective stationed himself in a convenient place in which to watch the acts ol the house, and while waiting for the reappearance of the man, his wits were actively at work

McGiven had oncx* been in custody in for Iuditn npolis having passed counterfeit ni.ney. but owing fo the lack of evidence against him, he had been discharged. 8ince that time he had been engaged in sever 1 serious escapade?, and was generally considered suspicious character, and this by the authorities of all the large citus. Gauthier immediately connected bim with the counterfeiters of whose presence in this c'ty he felt assured.

It was half-pest eight o'clock when the detective placed himself in lront'of the Eist Main street establishment, and then te wailed fur nearly two hours before his man made hia appearand at the frontdoor. He was accompanied bz r» companion, a somewhat taller man, very heavy-set, and wearing a foil bsard, as plainly could be discerned in tha moonlight.

The parties started west on Main street, walking at a brisk pace, and were followed by the detective, who still kept to the south side of the street. Thsy continued wiihout interruption, down Main street, heading directly for the river. When they reached the foot of Main street, thfy passed down the river bank between Kidder Bros, office and the entrance to the bridge. They proceeded directly to a skiff which was tied up near the pier of the bridge. While they were engaged in the operation of untying the skiff Gautheir loaated himself immediately above them on the bridge, and attempted, unsuccessfully, however, toe itch snatches of their conversation.

The detective was in a quandary, when, after untying and getting into the skill' the parties pulltd out isto the stream, and headed diagonally across the river, apparency for the clump of willows on the opposite bank. To follow them in a skiff would be impossible, without betraying his presence, which of course he could not do.. Being entirely unacquainted with the surrourdings at the opposite end of the bridge, he was dubious about crossing, in order to follow his men. While debating in hie mind as to to the b9st plan of action, with his eyes fixed on the receding boat, he was surprised to see that it, in place of going down the river, had as soon as the shadow of the willows wer^i reached, headed up the stream, all the time keeping in the shadow of the bank and trees.

They psssed under the bridge, an£ stepping to the north side of the gi^de, Gautheir could see both men biding to the oars, apparently with full strength. With the idea of still keeping them in view, the detective ran back to Water street, and hurrying up the T. H. AS. E. track, he reached tbo Vandalia track in time to see the boat croes under the Vaudalia bridge, and still continue upstream. He watched a few minutes, and then returned to Water street, and ran north. When he reached the bluff just below tbe old Davis porfc house, he noticed the boat, put out of the shadow of the opposite bank, and pull for this side.

Tho detective was nonplussed. It seemed the evident intention of the parties to land Mid Gautheir was at a loss to secure a position from which he could command a sight of their movements. He finally ran up to the old building, and keeping close to the wall, he reached the edge of the bank, and throwing himself flat on the ground, was able to observe all the movements of McGiven and his unknown companion.

The two men landed and pulled the boat high upon the shore and fastened it to a convenient log. It was now but a few minutes till midnight,

QS

the detective

learned by referring to his watch. The lateness of tbe hour appeared to fill the the men with entire confidence. They climbed up the b^nk, and much to the surprise of the defective disappeared in an opening in the rear wall of tbe old pork house.

Waiting a few minutes, Gautheir

climbed down the bank, and cautiously followed in the direction talon by the men, whom he now felt convinced were engaged in the very business which he was endeavoring to. find. WJien he reached the opening through which the men had disappeared, he ray of light glimmering through a chrnk in a door which opened sefiming|y in'of a second room of the cellar of the building. Still groping hia way Catefully, the detective soon was in a position to observe all the movements of the men -inside. To his surprise he saw thiee oobajpante of the room, all engaged busily in

packing

WM

in

small boxes large quantities of silver, which from the size he recognized as dollars, and which be knew to be countetfeit.

The room

difflly illumined by sev­

eral candles, placed at intervals around th« wall, and the dim light of which gave fantastic shapes to. the occupants and tools in the room. The instruments used in the manufacture of tbe counterfeits were immediately recognised by the detective. The molds used to cast the base of the counterfeit, and the electric battery used to plate them with silver were standing in ens corner, and the men were engaged in packing the money on a small table or bench.

Gautheir watched them for some tim*, and then seeing the work was almost finished, he retired as carefolly as be had entered. He had scarcely Iccsted himself in his former position, when the three men appeared, each carrying a small box, -and which were deposited in the skiff. They then entered the boat, and two of the men seizing the oars, crossed the river in the same manner in which they had eome. The detective retraced his steps down Water street, taking his way leisurely. He concealed himself behind a pile «f lumber across from Kidder Bros, mill, and had waited but a short time, before tbe three men appeared etch carrying a box. They passed op Main street, and were shadowed by Gautheir to the east Main street establishment from which the two had emerged early in the evening.

When he had seen the two men safely honeed, Gautheir came up town, and visited the telegraph office, Which he found closed, He then returned to the hotel, and leaving orders to be called at six o'clock ytesterday morning, he retired to bed.

At the hour named he was aroused, and after making his toilet, he strolled out to reconnoitre the locality at which he had run his game down. He found the placc and taking the number for future refere.ase he retraced his steps, feeling confident that the men would not come out before he conld return. He then telegraphed to Indianapolis for tbe Deputy U. 8. Marshals Fieche and Storey to join him here as soon as possible.

After breakfast and daring the entire forenoon yesterday, Gautheir watched the house without gaining any new light. The United States Marshals came in on the Vandalia at 2:20, and met Gautheir at the Terre Haute house. Here they received their instructions from him, and FisChe stationed himself conveniently near the hoirlfe, with orders to remain there until the parlies moved. About 9:§0 o'clock he entered the hotel office hurriedly, and told Gautheir and Storey, who were awaiting him, that the three men had emerged from the east Main street hcui-e, and were coming west on Main.

Leaving Fische to follow the men, the remaining two.jumped in a hack, and gave the driver orders to drive to the I. & St. L. depot as rapidly as possible. From there they walked down to the river and entering the cellar of the old pork house, secreted themseltes to aWsit developments.

They had been concealed 'but a short time when then they heard the.measured fall of oara in rowloeks, which sound came nearer, ceased suddenly. »nd shortly after the three -entered the opening in the wall, and unlocking the door leading to the inner room, entered and cloeed the door. They hid scarcely entered, when Fische also tnade his appearance, cautiously p:cking his wey among the piles of debri* and brick which strewed tbe path.

The three officers arrenged themselves in convenient positions for sudden action, which

As soon ae they emerged frotn the inner door, by a preconcerted signal they were seized by the officers, and before, they could realize what had happened were safely handcuffed.

They were deprived of their keys, the room entered and the candles re-lighted, and an inventory of tbe contents was taken. A portion of the tools were removed, together with a quantity of paper aion-y of d'fferent denominations, which was found concealed in one corner of the room.

Pinafore,

A fall cast and chorus rehearsal of the Pinafore company was held at the Marble block last night, and Was attended with gratifying success. The entire cast, including Messrs. Crane and McCord, of Paris, who »re to sing Corcoran and Dead eye, were present, and a chorus of about thirty voices. Miss Jeffers thinks the cempaBy will be up in the parts sufficiently to present the opera three weeks rom to-night.

Tbe Chaataaqia Circle. The Chautauqua literary and Scientific Circle, of Centenary church, held a very largely attended and interesting meeting at the residence of C. C. Smith, on north Seventh street, last night. The subject of tbe lesson was a "History of Rome, from the Punic Wars to the End of the Republic." The next meeting will ba held at tbe residence of D. O. Greiner, one week from last night.

First Ward Republicans. A large and very enthusiastic meeting was held last night by the Republicans of the First ward, at Fred Faust's grocery, at Seventh and Lafayette streets. The crowd was estimated at about one hundred and fifty. Speeches were made by Trustee Finkbinrr, County Treasurer Ray, Lnwrence Burgett and Sam Stark. Great enthusiasm was manifested throughout the entire meeting.

Presbyterian Social.

The ladies of tha Presbyterian church held a very successful "cpmplex" social last evening, which will net a neat sum. The tables were well stocked with fancy articles, from the sale of which, together with the ice cream and supper trade, ihe revenue was derived. Lunch will bs served at the church to-day, from'twelve to two o'clock, for ten cents.

The Forging of Steel.

Steel is one of the most valuable metals used in the Mechanic arts, and requires great care in forging, hardening, tempering, annealing and general- man* agemest. Tons of the very best steel are condemned as bad, when nothing but the forging has reduced it to that condition, ana all from a lack of knowledge in the management.

In forging east steel, the fire should be regulated by the size of the work. (I prefer a hollow fire to be fed with coke.) To ascertain the lieat of the steel, draw it out of the fire often, for it requires to be carefully watched to get the proper heat. If not hot enough, thrust it qniokly in again. The proper degree of heat is to be judged by the eye, and care Should be taken not to heat higher than & absolutely necessary to effect the de* sited purpose, and to use as few heats as possible. Too frequent heating and overheating steel abstracts the carbon', gradually reducing it to .the state of forged iron. It is the opinion of a great many that, so long as the steel does not fly to pieces when strook with the hammer, it is not too hot but it is an erroneous idea, as id easily proved when it comes te be hardened, and particularly when it comes to be used.

An excellent composition for welding cast steel is prepared by boiling together sixteen parts of borax and one of sal-am-monica over a slow fire for an hour. When cold, grind it into a powder. The steel must then be made as not as it.will conveniently bear, and the composition used the same as sand.

Steel punches, or other smaU instruments, particularly engraved dies, when, by accidental exposure to too great heat they have become spoiled, or, as the blacksmith says, burned, may be restored by the following mixture: Two ounces of bichromate of potassa, one ounce of pure nitre, one ounce gum aloes, one ounce gum arabic and two ounces of resin. The whole having been well powdered and mixed, the piece of steel is heated to a low, red heat, and the powder sprinkled over it. It is then heated again to a low, red heat and fooled. This makes the piece very hard again. The amount of nitre may be doubled, and that of the resin ten times greater to produce a higher temper.

In tempering a tool lor boring cylia* ders, turning rolls, or any large pieces of cast iron,let it be as bard as water will make it, taking care not: to heat it more than tb a cherry red. In the second beating, after the tool is hardened, the first perceptible tint is alight straw color, which makes its appearance when the heat reaches 430 degrees Fahrenheit. This gives the metal a maximum of hardness, with a certain amount of elasticity, fitting it for lancets, razors and surgical instruments. At 470 degrees a full yellow is produced, which is the temper employed for penknives, scalpels and fine cutlery. The temperature of 490 degrees gives a brownish-orafige, suitable for shears and chisels used for cutting iron. At 510 degrees the brownishyeUow becomes flecked with purple,, the tint for pocket-knives. Five hundred and twenty degrees gives a bluish purple, fit for table cutlery while the different shades of blue from 530 degrees to 570 degrees indicate a temper proper for watch springs, sword blades, saws, and instruments requiring great elasticity. Beyond this temperature the metal becomes too soft to be used for cutting instruments.

The temper gTeatly depends on tiie

quantity of carbon that is in the steel. This the practical man soon finds out, and he tempers or draws down the tool accordingly.

In Switzerland, razors, pocket-knives, eto.. made from English cast steel arc tempered by immersing the blades at a dark cherry red into a bath composed of four parts of finely-powdered yellowresin, two parts of fish oil, to which is added, in a very hot state, one part of melted tallow, and allowing them to cool perfectly after which they arc heated without wiping them, and hardened in water in the ordinary way. The blades hardened by this process are found to be more uniformly tempered than by any other, making it possible to produce an exceedingly fine cutting edge.—By T. J. Bpdwuch, in American Machinist.

How to Apply the Soda Remedy in Burns and Scalds. It i3 now many years ago (see the London Medical Gazette of March, 1844) that the author of this jpaper, while engaged in some investigations as to the qualities and effects of the alkalies in inflammations of the skin, etc., was fortunate enough to discover that a saline lotion, or saturated solution of the bicarbonated soda in fiither plain water or camphorated water, if applied speedily, or as soon as possible, to a burned or scalded part, was most effectual in immediately relieving the acute burning pain and when the burn was only superficial, or not severe, removing all ain in the course of a very short time aving also the very great advantage of

I

cleanliness, and, if "applied at once, of preventing the usual consequences—a painful blistering of the skin, separation of the epidermis, and perhaps more or less of suppuration.

For this purpose, all that is neccssary is to cut apiece of lint, or old soft rag, or even thick blotting paper, of a size sufficient to cover the Durned or scalded parts, and to keep it constantly well wetted with the sodaic lotion so as to prevent its drying. By this means, it usually happens that all pain ceases in from a quarter to half an hour, or even in much less time.

When the main part of a limb, such as the hand and fore-arm, or the foot and leg, has been burned, it is best, when practicable, to plunge the part at once into a jar, or pail, or other convenient vessel filled with the soda lotion, and keep it there until the pain subsides or the limb may be swathed or encircled with a surgeon's cotton bandage previously soaked in the saturated solution, and kept constantly wetted with it, the relief being usually immediate, provided the solution be saturated and cold.

What is now usuallv sold as bicarbonate of soda is what I have commonly used and recommended although, this is well known to vaiy much, in quality, according to where it is manufactured —but it will be found to answer the purpose, although probably Howard's is most to be depended on, the common carbonate being too caustic. It is believed that a large proportion of medical practitioners are still unaware of the remarkable qualities of this easily applied remedy, which recommends itself for obvious reasons.—F. Peppercorne, in Popular Science Monthly for March.

On the Decline.

"Have you been introduced to the tall stranger? inquired Cicely of her friend at a soiree. "No, indeed, I have not. Is he any body in particular?" "Most charming young man.

The factris, amateur literateurs are too numerous to be attractive." This indicates a decline in the true worship of the beautiful.

A HUMAK BAfiOMETES.

The Beat Relation Between the Ha. man Body and the weather Stoles" tiflealiy Explained. Scientific American.

One of tbe most valuable developments fit modern science along the line of human necessity is the National Weather Bureau at Washington. Experience has Bhown that eighty-six per cenf. of the predictions of (be eignsl seivice are accurate', and these predictions are nnquestionsbly of tbe greatest advantage to tbe eeaman, the agriculturist and the entire commercial world. The service bas proven its necessity by its usefulness, for in past times ths facilities for foretelling atmospheric changes were meagre indeed. The only indications our fathers had of coming changes in the weather were aching limbs, twinging joints or painful corns, These "indications,"' though erode, were usually correct, and hence naturally suggest the enquiry as to the relation between the human system and the weather. Tbe body is unquestionably an excellent barometer. It foretells changes in the atmosphere long before they occur, and this fact has been taken advantage of by physicians wh?, when all other agencies fail, prescribe a change of air, thus hoping the body may find an atmospheric condition better suited to its netds. And yet the real relation between tbe human body and the weather has never been fully understood, nor has there ever been until row, iv correct .- explanation of what rheumatism (which seems in league with the atmosphere) really is. It was originally thought by many to be a trouble in the joints, and as snch was treated in the most strange, cot to say, ridiculous manner. This theory became dispelled when tbe same trouble attack'd the muscle", and the feeling then prevailed that it was purely a mutcular disorder. But this idea was found to ba too narrow, and now it is universally conceded that rheumatism is a blood disease. Aid whet a teirible disease it is. It often comes without warning and prostrates the system with agony. Again its beginning is gradual, and its growth slow. In its scute form it manifests itself in every conceivable shape and always accompanied by.intense pain. At one time it is inflammatory, at another neuralgic. Sometimes it assumes the form of gout, and again that of pleurisy or lumbago but in whatever manner it appears it is terribly painf&l end always to be dreaded. The pain and annoyance of rhenmatism are increased by its great danger for it is li ble to attack the brain or heart at any moment, thereby causing instant death. Indeed, nearly every case of heart disease with all its dreadful enddennese which has ever occurred, can be traced more or less directly to rhenmatie causes. In its chronic form it stiffens the joints, contracts tbe muscles, undermines the health and ruins the life.- It frequently attacks men and Women who are apparently in perfect health. Indeed, it is as greatly to be dreaded as any possible form of physical woe.

But, however severe its effects may be, the exact cause of this blood trouble has been an undecided question, and it is only within the past year that any decision upon the subj ct has been reached. In order to fully determine what the causa of rheumatic disorders really was, certain authorities sent letters of inquiry from W&E-hington to the leading practicing physicians of the land, and these inquiries were responded to quite generally, thus furnishing data of great value to science and mankind. Tbe views held by tbe doctors are of a varied nature, but so overwhelming a proportion hold to one belief as to leave but lit.le doubt that it is the correct one. This belief, briefly stated, is (hat uric acid in the blood causes rheumatism, and that it is only by removing tbis poisennus acid that rheumatic or neuralgic troubles in a'l their terrible forms can be eurcd. Thi- being true, the important qnertion jsrite.-r "How does this poisunui* uric scid get intothe blood, and can it best be removed?" Uric acid is a w*s(e mateml of the b*dy which the kidnejs rhnii'd corry o*t, but because th^ sre ws»k»n-:d thev cannat tfcrow it i' tbe uyu'em. Restore the kidneys and you restore the (lowf-r that wiil force the uiic ncid from the etem and thus banish the rheurci',t'c agonies tvhich it causes. Tbi* i* reason it is science. No one rhose kidoeys are in a perfect coudition was evfr troubled with ibeumatism, and he *aist:c suff' t*r, however slight the pi-ia may be, hat perfect kidneys. The ccncl^fion of this truth is inevitable: perfect kidseys mean freedom from rhtumaticm.

When rheurn-tiam hss manifested itself in any specisl part of the body, attempts have usually been made to treat that part of tbe body. As a result, the pain has departed, but the disease has remained, Iting subtly concealed and ready to break out et some unexpected moment. Checking the pain in any single locality only ecatters the tliseaee through the system, when, if the.*eat of the disorder, which a-e the kidneys, were reached, a complete euro would be the result. The way, therefore, to expel this rank and poieonous acid before it assumes an inflammatory or chronic form ia by keeping the kidneys in absolute health. This is no easy thing fo do, and no means has, until the past few jcars, been known which would successfully' reach and affect these great organs. At last, however, scientists have discovered that the leaves of a tropical plant, previously but little known to science and unknown to medicine, possessed marvelous qualities adapted for the kidneys. Theee leaves have been skillfully ccmbincd in the reinedr now knoifn as Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Care. It i«, np to the present timo, the only known preparation that acts so directly upon the kidneys as to effec'uaily core tbe vaiious dangerous forms of kidney disease, and bertce remove all uric acid from the blood.. As a result, the curfti it has been the means of performing are really very remarkable. Indeed, there are thousand* of persons in Amtrica today who owe their restoration to health acd entire freedom from rheumatism to tbisMmple yet powerful remedy, which is known universally, m&nnfactured in Rochester, N. Y., and eold ia every drug store in the land.

From the doctors in the various cities of the United States who have certified over their own signatures to the scientific statement that uric acid in the blood is the cause of rheumatism, are a large number of Boston physicians, among them being Dr. A. P. Light hill, Dr. John Foley, Dr. Fred. J. Girbit, Dr. L. Chamberlain, Dr. Albert N. Blodge'.t, Dr. John C. Sharp, Ch*»!es W. Sfcvenp, Dr. Henry W. Bradford, Dr. Timothv H. Smith, Dr. Ch*tle« M. iSs-well, Dr. W.Iliata A. Dunn, Dr. J. F. Perry, Dr John Burke, Dr. Michael F. Gavin. Dr. Aaron Yonng, Dr. Elisht S. Rowland, Dr. O ie GrSy Rindall, Dr. Stephen C, Mirtin, Dr. George F. Bigcl. w, Dr O W. Diw, Dr. Morris P. WimrUr, Dr. Robert W. Newell, Dr. Frankiia F. Patch, Dr. Darius Wilson, Dr. William F. Cornell, Dr. Henry Sohl, Dr. Nathaniel Djwnes, Dr. William K. Kipley, Dr George ohattuck, Dr. Will:am Ingalls, Dr. J. P. Oliver, Dr. Joseph F. Gould, Dr. Wilson Atwood, Dr. A. Fernald, Dr. Francis H. Brown, and D^ Hamilton Osgocd.

Tbe theory cf the doctors as above explained finds its confirmation in the fact that when tbe kidneys have brea cured, rheumatism is completely lemo'ti1. This is not, of course, alwrys 8ccon plihh»d instantly, for in a disease so subtle, the cure is often very slow, bat under no other plan can hooe of permanent relief ever he found. There are hundreds of cs=ts oa record during the present winter of persons fcfflicted with rhenmatie troubles of the worst order who have been entirely cured by following tbe theory above stated »td using the retnsdy mentioned. Many of these persons had tbe ver? worst 'possible symptoms. Vague aches in

were follower moet intense in raC Acute aad throbbing each other and the ccu acid Inflamed all the veins. which' began with alight disorders creased to derangements tbe most serious. It ia aad to think that all this suffering was endured#ben it could have been so easily relieved. Acting upon the theory and using the remedy a bote mentioned, the kidneys could have been restored to ibeir usual vigor, the uric poison expelled from the system, the inflammation removed and the pain entirely banished.

These an some of the real and scientific facts regarding rheumatism, attested by the highest authority and they are, beyond question, tbe only correct ones ever brought forth. We are aware they are advanced ideas, but ten yean hence tbey will b# the accepted belief and practice of die World. If people suffer from rhenmatie troubles in the futnre and with these pfrta truths before them, they certainly can blame no one bnt themselves.
