Treatment of Fainting. Fainting proceeds from different causes, the commonest being a disturbance to the circulation of the blood in the brain. For an ordinary •pell lay the patient flat Great harm has resulted often from the treatment by ignorant people in trying to make • patient sit up or propping up the bead with pillows. To send the blood back from the heart to the brain the flat posture absolutely is necessary. Let the patient lie so the feet are higher than the bead, throw open the clothes about the chest and throat, sponge the face with cold water and give some cold water to drink. The Newest Lunch Box.

TO FRIENDS OF THE DEMOCRAT.

When you have a legal notice, such as notice of appointment as executor or administrator, final settlement of estate, nonresident notice, notice of ditch or highway petition, or any other legal notice that the clients themselves control, be sure to instruct your attorneys to have the publication made in the Democrat, otherwise they will take it to papers of their own political faith. Remember The Democrat is fighting your battles and using its best efforts to keep down taxation, and it is your duty to assist it, at least when it costs you nothing to do so, as our prices are usually much less for publishing legal notices than other papers, because they are set compactly, and are not “padded” out to make them as long as possible. Any favors shown us in this way will be greatly appreciated, and we want again to urge you to be sure to instruct your attorneys to have such publications made in The Jasper County Democrat. -j

Rheumatism I have found a tried and tested cure for RheuBlatism I Not a remedy that will straighten th* distorted limbs of chrontckripples, nor turn bony, growths back to flesh again. That is impossible-1 But I can now surely kill the pains and pangs of this deplorable disease. In Germany—with a Chemist in the City of Darmstadt—l found the last ingredient witix Which Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Remedy was mad* • perfected, dependable prescription. Without that last ingredient, I successfully treated many, many cases of Rheumatism; bqt now, at last, it uniformly cures all curable cases of thisi heretofore much dreaded disease. Those sand-like granular wastes, found in Rheumatic Blood, seem to dissolve and pass away under the action of this remedy aa freely as does sugar when added to pure water. And then, when dissolved, these poisonous wastes freely pass from the system, and the cause of Rheumatism to gone forever. There to now no teal need—no actual excuse to suffer longer without help. We sell, and in confidence recommend Dr. Shoop’s Rheumatic Remed A. F. LONG.
