Yesterday, Thursday, January 1, 1881,
was our New Tear's, the first day of a new
year, a holiday, and a day formerly cele
brated by the giving of presents, which
especial feature baa, in England and the
United States, been relegated to Christ
mas.
It was the first day of the eighteen hun
dred and ninety-first year of the Christian
Era; and there yon bad better stop and
take it for granted that it is all right, for if
yon begin inquiring as to why the Christian
Era doee not begin on the birthday of
Christ or on the day generally celebrated
by His followers as His birthday; or if yon
want to know wby the year should have
been made to begin at a time marked by
no particular physical or astronomical
event; yon enter the mythical realm of
historical chronology and begin the study
of mathematical chronology, both of which
are well-nigh interminable.
The Christian Era is dated from the Ist
of January of the year in which Christ *u
born; and January was made the first
month of the Roman calendar, probably
because it was the first month of their
Spring-time. In northern Italy, for many
centuries after the fall of the Soman Em
pire, the year was made to begin on March
25th, the day of the Annunciation, and in
France as lata as the middle of the 16th
century the year began with Easter. In
England for several centuries the year be
gan with Christmas, and in parts of Scot
land the Ist of-January is jet oelebrsted
as Christmas.
In the Scandinavian peninsula the re
turn of the Son was celebrated by the
great yule feast, and when missionaries of
the Christian religion penetrated those
regions they engrafted the Christian Christ- j
mas on that feast
In England in the 12th century the prac
tice was to begin the year on the 25th of
March, and that practice prevailed til]
Parliament is 1751 directed that the year
1752 should be reckoned from the Ist of
January, and the same day is now the be
ginning of the year in all Christian coun
tries, excepting Russia.
When the Romans of the time of Julius
Cmar remodeled their calendar, they knew
nothing of the spherical form of the Earth,
or of its revolution around the Sun, and
yet by some means they measured a year
to within a km minutes of its correct time,
and established a year of 305 days, every
fourth year to have 366, and gave
months the'number of days tbey still have.
The Roman calendar was so perfect that
it wse adopted by the Christian nations,
but in 1562 A. D. the slight error of 11
minutes and 10 seeonds a year, had
amounted to about tan complete days, and
Pope Gregory XIII ordained that tan days
should be deducted from October of that
year, and that every hundredth year should
not be a leap year, excepting every 400 th,
beginning with the year 2000 A. D., and in
this way the difference between the natural
and civil yean will not amount to a day in
5,000 years.
This change was objected to bj some of
the Protectant nations, but wu finally
adopted by all the nation* o( Europe, ex
cepting the Bossian, which yet adheres to
the old itfU, and aa the error now amount*
to twelve days, their calendar is that many
daya wrong.
A meridian of this Earth will return
under a fixed star in a few minutes lees 1
than twenty-four of our houri, but as the
larth, besides tuning on its axis, is also
rolling around the Sun and in the eame
direction, it has to tarn thoee few minutes
longer to again bring that meridian twice
under the centre of the Sun, and thus it is
that in a year of 966 days the Sarth actual
ly turns on its axis 300 times.
The orbit of the Sarth, also, is not a
circle, bat an ellipse, and therefore there
is a slight difference in the intervals be
tween the return of a meridian under the
centre of the Son, and the time we use In
our clocks and watches is the average of
these intervals, called Mean Time to dis
tinguish it from Sum, Sidereal and other
time*, and that interval we divide into a
day of twenty-four hoars.
ORB of the new U. 8. Senators for Idaho
is Geo. L. Bhoap, who was born and raised
near Proeport, and lived in that town and
in Kittanning. He went to Idaho some
years ago, acquired prominence, and Pres
ident Harrison appointed him Territorial
Governor. Idaho was made a state a few
months ag6, and its Legislature met and
elected three man U. 8. Senators, two of
whom are to take their seats immediately,
and the other to succeed the one whose
term expires next March. Mr. Shonp was
preeent when the Senate met last Monday
and on motion of Mr. Hoar he was sworn
in, and afterwards on motion of Mr.
Yanoe his credentials were referred
to the Committee on Privileges and
Elections, the point being that
the action of the legislature in providing
for representation so far ahead, was not
altogether in compliance with the consti
tution and the ruki of the Senate.
Battle With Indiana.
While U. 8. troops were disarming Big
Foot's band of Indians on the Bad Lands
of Dakota, Monday morning, the Indians
fired on the troops, and a fight ensued in
which Capt Wallace and twenty-five sol
diers were killed, Lt. Gariington and some
fifty men wounded, and the band of Indi
ans, excepting the women and children
who fled the eamp, was practically wiped
out.
Next day another band of Indians at
taoked a (apply train, bat a company of
troops heard the firing and came to its re
lief, and the Indians were routed with con
siderable loss.
There is great excitement in all parts of
the territory and the settlers are fleeing to
the towns.
TBI little State of Massachusetts, ha*
sent Daniel Webster,Bufus Choate,Charles
Sumner, Bobert Winthrop end Edward
Everett to the United States Benate, but
the great Bute of Pennsylvania, under the
rule of the "machine" neither develops
such statesmen nor puts them in ofllce.
Wi #ant a man to reprteent us in the
Sonata of the United States, who will be
the peer, in statesmanship and character,
of the representatives of the other great
States; and nobody, not even his political
friends, protend that J. Donald Cameron
is such a man; and even if he were, he has
had his share, ho has held the oflice for
fourteen years. But ha is not a represen
tative of the Republican party of this
State, and his re-election will mean an
other triumph of the party "machine" over
the party people, which will bode no good
for the party la the fatuie.
What Has Ha Done?
What has San a tor J. Donald Cameron
dona that ha ia aaid to b« beyond the reach
of pnblio criticism and pnbllo sentiment T
Tha question ia pertinent at this time, be
cause Mr. Cameron ia quoted as saying that
'it ia a matter of indifference to him what
the newspapers say," and also because some
of our weak-kneed contemporaries assert
that it mattera not what ia now brought
against the Senator, be will be re-elected.
"What The Pre** says about him is true,"
ia the declaration of one of these news
papers, and then it regretfully adds: —"but
it is too late aov to oppose him."
If that ia correct, then the situation is an
extraordinary one, which requires ex
planation. The Legislature which is to
elect Mr. Cameron's successor has not yet
been organised. The election does not
take place for three weeks and over. Is it
possible that a majority of the men elected
to perform the solemn duty of choosing a
fit man to repreeent this great State in the
United States Senate for the next six years
an bound to rote for Mr. Cameron regard
leas of public sentiment and (he interests
of the commonwealth? If that were true,
then theee men are not free to act for the
public good. They are either pnppets in
the hands of a boas, or they are bound by
obligations which they dare not make pub
lic. We are not ready to believe that such
is the case.
It is openly aeaerted that Mr. Cameron
contributed certain sums of money to help
elect members of the Legislature, who, in
return, bound.themselvee to vote for his
re-election. If that were true it would
explain bow it is that Mr. Cameron snaps
his fingers at public criticism and defiantly
votee with the Democrats in the United
States Senate and against(the party plat'
form of his own State. If he has bought
and paid for his election in advance, and
holds the obligations of a majority of the
members of the Legislature in his pocket,
then there ia a rational, though a highly
discreditable, explanation of bis extraor
dinary oonduct. But we do not accept this
explanation. The majority of the Penn
sylvania Legislature is not made up of
shameless men who betray the State and
bargain votes for pelf in that way.
There must be some other explanation.
What is itf Mr. Cameron has been a
member of the Senate for over twelve
years. In all that time his name has
never been identified with any measure of
importance. He is chairman ef a com
mittee, but is incompetent to take charge
on the loor of the Senate of any measure
reported from that committee. Other
members always and invariably do that
work. Mr. Cameron is a chronic absentee.
When great tariff measures of vast import
ance to the Btate were before Congress he
was hunting in South Carolina. The in
terests of the State, after being carefully
guarded in the Honss at the last session,
were sacrificed in the Senate because, in
part, of his absenoe, indifference, and lack
of ability to defend them. But, not con
tent with sacrificing the interests of tne
State in that way, he defiantly voted with
the Democrats to allow every owner of
silver bullion to take 73 cents worth of it
to the Mint and get back from the Govern
ment one dollar, and thus helped to bring
'on almost a financial panio. He opposes
legislation demanded by every Republican
National Convention held since the war
and by the conventions of his own State.
Without ability or influence with his own
party in the Benate, he is nevertheless, a
disturbing factor,and is largely responsible
for the defeat of important and needed
legislatation, both at this session and the
last, becsnse of his intimate relations with
the Democrats and refusal to act his
own party.
No one can point to a single important
act of J. Donald Cameron during his long
service in the Senate which reflocts credit
on his county, his State, or his party. In
National and State campaigns he has never
lifted his voice for his party. He was, as
usual, silent in the last campaign in. this
State, though now claiming the chief fruit
of Republican success.
What is tbe reason that it is assumed
that he will, as a matter of course, be re
elected to the Senatef The only explan
ation yet offered is his wealth; and tbe as
sertion that he baa bought and paid in ad
vance for the privilege of misrepresenting
his party and his State. But we repeat
that we are not prepared to accept that
explanation, and we ask again, What has
he done? In a future issue The Pre** may
be able to throw farther light on the
matter.—Philadelpia Press.
A Pleasant Affair.
On last Thursday, Dec. 25, at the resi
dence of Gabriel Barnbart, of Mt. Chest
nut, oocurred the marriage of his daughter,
Anna, and Mr. 0. M. Coovert, of West
Liberty.
Early in the afternoon the invited guests
began to make their appearance in sleighs
and]buggies, those coming from the vicin
ity of West Liberty in four-wheeled vehi
cles on aocouot of the pom sleighing in
that locality.
Tbe company were entertained very
pleasantly until four o'clock when, while a
march waa being played on the organ by
Mr. Hill, of Ohio, tbe bride and groom, ac
companied by Mr. Frank Wimer, of West
Liberty, and Mrs. Troutman, of Ohio,
made their appearance in the parlor.
Standing hsneath a beautiful bridal
wreath and the decorated emblem of good
luck above them the happy conple were
united in matrimony by the Rev. Sheffer.of
Prospect.
' After receiving the congratulations and
kind wishek of those preeent Mr. and Mrs.
Coovert were invited to bring their guests
to the dining room where a bountiful sup
ply of turkey and delicacies peouliar to a
wedding feast awaited them.
After the guests had done justice to the
Christmas turkey and dainties, the pres
ents which were both nsefnl and beautful
were presented.
Tbe guests then entertained themselves
in various ways until a crowd of yonng men
headed by a violinist with his "fiddle" was
ushered in. The young people then en
joyed themselves by "keeping step" to. the
music of the violic and organ.
After the second quadrille when
quietness appeared to reign supreme,
the silence was broken', by a strain of
martial music rendered by tbe Eureka
band, which bad quietly stationed itself
just onUide the front door. The serena
ders were treated with cigars and invited
in to partake of the wedding cake and par
ticipate in the festivities.
; Every one appeared happy and joyful.
Nothing occurred to marthe mirth and
merriment of the and all united
in laying that they enjoyed a Merry Christ
mat. Mr. and Mr*. Coovert have the kind
wishes and sincere regard* of their many
friends and aMociatea. We hope that joy
and happiness may ever attend their
jonrney throngh life, and that each return
ing Christmas m*y bring new joys and
pleasant recollections of the one they have
so fittingly celebrated. Some of the invited
guests could not be preaeat on account of
sickneas, bnt among thoee who witneeaed
the ceremonies were Mr. and Mrs. Thoa.

Recollections of Butler; or Fifty Years
Ago.
ED. ClTlZEN— Recently on meeting A
friend, now one of our older citizens, our
conversation turned upon the wonderful
changes in Butler within our time, and he
suggested they should be written, and that
I should give what he termed my reminis
cences of the town. In turn I suggested
that he should perfuim the task. How
ever, he urged it on me, and after due con
sideration I have concluded to do so. But
at the outstart we wish it understood that
these "Recollections," which name we
prefer to call them, are but our recollec
tions, as we write only of what "hangs on
memory's walls," without consulting a
book, paper or document, and therefore
they are not given or not to be taken as
absolute history. The great change that
has taken place in our town, in men, fam
ilies, persons and things during the past
fifty years, has suggested the thought, and
if these recollections of half a century will
be the means of preserving a record of any
of these, or prove of interest to any of our
citixens, we will have accomplished our
object At present Butler is like unto a
strange city to our older citisecs and they
feel and realize the fact that they are al
most strangers in a new and strange place.
ORIGINAL BCTLER.
To begin properly it is first of impor
tance that the original limits or boundaries
of the town should be stated, for its en
largement from time to time has made it
four fold of what it was titty years ago. All
of the first ward, and much of the second,
third, fourth and fifth wards of the present
town, have been added to the original.
The following is about the first or old
boundary: On the south, and to what was
known as "The Commons," building lots
were laid out to the alley along and south
of the present residences of William Camp
bell and R. C. McAboy, the alley running
east and west to near the Connoqoenessing
creek at either end; on the west to near
creek and about twenty rods below the
present George Walter mill, as southwest
corner; and on the east reaching the creek
near to and below the present Opera
House. From there it followed up and
near the creek to a large tree that stool on
the bank near where the present bridge
known as the Boyd bridge now is, south
and not far from the West Penn Railroad
depot. Thence due north along what is
now called Monroe street to where the
same will meet what is now East Penn
street, but which originally was but an
alley. This was northeast corner. Thence
it went due west along said now Penn St.,
crossing Main St. between the properties
of the heirs of the late General Purviance
and Isaac Colbert, Esq., and on to a point
where present West Penn would intersect
an alley, northwest corner, running thence
due south, crossing Cunningham St. near
residence of Mr. C. Otto, and on to the
creek again near the present Jail Street
bridge, and from there up the creek some
thirty jods to the place of beginning. So
it will be seen Butler was not as large in
territory fifty years ago as it is at present.
By the additions, north, south, east and
west, it is now more than a square mile in
extent. Its population in 1840 was less than
one thousand.
THE COMMONS.
It should be stated that what was known
ai "The Commons," some five or six acres,
composed a part of the original plan of
Butler, laying on the south end, and run
ning from creek to creek, east and west,
and bounded on the south by the property
of the late John Negley, who owned all
the balance of land in that bend of the
creek below the Commons, and then in
Butler township. These Commons were
reserved and set apart as snch by the
original donors of the land for our county
seat, John and Samuel Cunningham, lor
the general use and benefit of its people.
One, and perhaps the principal, use then
derived from them was that enjoyed by the
cows of its citixens, which, on being reliev
ed of their milk in an evening, hastened to
or were driven to "The Commons," there
to repose in comfort and safety for the
night. How different from now, when if
your cow should happen to be out late of
night she is mercilessly seized, by order of
Town Council, impounded and imprisoned
in some small and uncomfortable pen until
you redeem ber. The Cunningham donors
were good and merciful men, in that they
were merciful to the beasts, ic providing
for them. The Commons abounded in
every variety of trees, great and tmall,
among them, plentifully, being the crab
apple tree, tbe fragrance of whose blos
soms in the spring was most enchanting to
the sense of smell and tbe beauty of whose
flowers most pleasant to the eye. Hickory
nuts, chestnuts, hazel nuts, wild cherries
and berries, were also gathered there by
the small boys of fifty years ago. Good
building stone also covered the Commons
and from which the stone for the founda
tions of the first houses and barns were
taken. Large rocks were these, upon
which the children climbed and the goats
delighted to sport. The celebrated "Fed
eral Spring," named to in honor of the
politics of the days of General Washington,
is close upon the south borders of the old
Commons. It is now tbe property o( Mr.
John 11. Smith, who has neatly enclosed it
and is no longer accessible to tbe general
public, who often sought its pure and
refreshing waters. The Indians passing
through Butler in those days made it a
point to reach that spring, to quench their
thirst and lay in the sun and rest there.
But the Commons were finally sold —by
virtue of an act of Legislature—and the
proceeds of sales of lots laid ont thereon
were devoted to educational purposes, the
present large school-bouso on Jefferson St.
being principally built from the sales,about
fifteen yearn ago. Upon some of these lots
are now the fine residences of John N.
Patterson, I. J. IfcCandless, Mr. Bole,
John Kopp, John M. Smith, Mrs. Dunn,
Al. Woltcr, Kafer, Moorhead, HafTner, the
new and very elegant house of Mr. I). B.
Campbell, Mr. Bisler, Mr. Joseph Balph,
and others, some of which it is said will
have to bo removed if tbe contemplated
widening is mado of street leading from
McKean to bridgo passing over to Spring
dale. MORE ANON.

NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES.
Rev. J. W. Reigard, of Kitt*nning.
advertises in a local paper that he cannot
pay bis debts, because the members of the
Progressive Brethren Charch have not
made good their promises to him.
At Harbison's coal bank in Beaver Co.
last Saturday a miner emptied a lot of
powder on the floor of bis shanty, and
began making cartridges, with a lighted
lamp attached to his cap. The lamp fell
into the powder and the miner was blown
to pieces.
A party of Italians were arrested in
Pittsburg, last week, for passing counter
feit silver dollars, and a bundle containinK
over 1000 of the spurious coins, was found
under one of their beds. The stuff is being
made in New Tork, and shipped to that
claw of people all over the country.
Frank Aldrich, the circus man who was
convicted of buncoing Mr. Lemon of Alle
gheny, was pardoned, and was released
from the penitentiary on Christmas day.
He was confined for two years, and during
all that time bis wife had been bunting up
evidence to prove that he was not guilty,
finally succeeded in convincing the Pardon
Board of the fact.
At Beaver Falls, a few nights a«o, an
old grocer named Arbuthnot, while on his
way home was knocked down by ruffians
and robbed of $l3O.
A real mean trick was lately plaj'ed on
some ladies in Punxsutawney, who were
holding a chnrch fair in the opera house.
Some wicked, or at least mischievioos
person poured a quart of whiskey into the
big crock containing the lemonade, and
then gave the "wink" to the boys, who
crowded arround the lemonade stand, and
when the ladies found it out they said it
was "just perfectly awful."'
William Wood and Nora Effert, of New
Brighton,accompanied by the girl's mother
secured a marriage license in New Castle,
and were married, and the girl's father has
employed counsel to prosecute Prothonota
ry Gilliland, because the girl is but 13
years of age.
Win. Brant, eon of Charles Brant, of
Indiana, Pa., came near killing his mother
the other day. While in the bouse he
picked up a shot gun and pointing it at hie
mother said, "I am going to shoot you
and polled the trigger. The mother moved
her head to one side just in time to escape
a charge of buckshot. The boy was much
frightened and said he "did not know it
was loaded."
The Washington Pa. Obterver says that
ten new tank cars have been added to the
20 already owned by the Washington
Refining Company. They are the best
tank cars made and are built at a cost of
$750 each.
An Oil City policeman arrested a follow
for whistling for bis girl.
The Beaver Falls Journal says that
"People in and aroand the Ft. Wayne
station Thursday witnessed a Bcene that
sent a thrill of horror through all present
at the sight before them. Train 14, east
bound, was just pulling out when Mr.
Brooks, proprietor of a billiard hall, on
Seventh avenue,attempted to board it. By
some manner his hold slipped and he fell
in front of the wheels with bis head on the
rails. In this position he was pushed
along for several yards, and every one who
saw him in that awful position thought
surely that be would be decapitated and
mangled to pieces. Fortunately several
inches of snow covered the rail which
caused his head to slide along in front of
the wheel until it was finally pushed off.
The horrified spectators were surprised,
however, when they saw him rise from his
terrible position. Strange as it may seem,
he was little, if any, injured, though his
hat was cut in two. It was the closest
call on record, and one that he will never
forget.
General Notes.
Near Bangor, Me., last Wednesday, a
man was blown over a precipice 120 feet
high, landed in a snow drift and sank in it
ten feet, and when dug out was found to
be uninjured.
The election in the Kilkenny district in
Ireland, went against the adherents'of Mr.
Parnell, and the candidate of the other
faction was elected. It was an English
cat that spoiled Mr. Parnell's prestige and
power, and the affair has given the cause
ot Home Rule for Ireland a sad blow.
President Harrison appointed Judge
Henry B. Brown of Detroit, Mich, to fill
the vacancy in the U. S. Supreme Bench,
caused by the death of Justice Miller.

We are having a regular old-fashioned
winter of twenty years back.
The Xmas entertainments at the U. P.
and Presbyterian Churches were largely
attended, there being some very fine and
costly presents given away.
Portersville would have been very quiet
and temperate during the Holidays had it
not been for a few men, if so called, from B
different county who came with their pock
ets filled with bottles,and divided it among
some of our citizens, which made things
very lively. Such men should be sent up
for snch conduct.

sympathy of the whole community in her
sorrow.
Henry Lehman met with an accident on
Saturday evening which might have been
very serious. While handling a bottle of
carbolic acid in the drug store, he let the

KATE KASTON SMITH.
Butler, Pa., December 1890.
HUliard and Vicinity.
The young Nimrods of this vicinity will
have to quit hunting and look to something
else for their sport. It is said that George
Meals and Kob t Curry shot and sold forty
rabbits in one week.
Elgie Wasson. one of Washington Tp. s
sportsmen and crack shots, hasn t been as
lucky this winter as usual.
Wm. M. Shira and Rob't Thompson
have monopolized the country coal trade
in this part. They are doing a rushing
business.
A company known as the Hilliard Coal
and Coke Co. has bought of J. H. Living
ston the old Ackbar and Turner mines,
also his store. They have moved the store
from the Day building into the Adams
building, which they have remodeled. Mr.
A. P. Stewart lias charge of the store;
Mr. Elmer Stewart, member of the North
Washington dramatic club, clerk.
The Butler Plate Glass Co. have pur
chased nineteen acres of J. Holland lor
sand purposes. They are making extensive
preparations for shipping sand to their
works at Butler; this, with their works on
the Beatty farm, ought to furnish a large
amount of sand. The Beatty mine puts
out over a hundred tons per day, and the
Holland works are said to be as large
again.
John Stewart is home from Butler where
he has been working for some time back.
Ed Christy went to the oil country to
hanl, but came back in a day or two.
There is stronger attractions for Ed on the
ridge than in the oil field.
Philip Stoops got a thousand dollars for
a fifty acre lease on a farm adjoining the
Hoover. W. J. Adams, of Hilliard, gave
him fifty dollars for a ten-acre leese
J. C. Widger completed a dry well on
the Hermon Scatou a few days ago, within
fifteen rods of the pumping well on the
Shira farm. They got some gas and Her
man is making use of it in his house.
JOE HOOKER.
JOHS P. MATTHEWS, the Republican
postmaster at Carrollton, Miss, was shot
and killed a few days ago, and the murder
is reported to have been a purely political
one.
A Severe, Though Successful Surgical
Operation.
Esquire John Thomas, of Allegheny tp.
after suffering intensely for about six
months with what may, in common par
lance, bo termed bone-cancer, which was
situated on his left leg just below the knee
joint and extending downward about eight
inches, had that member amputated on
Tuesday of laht week, Dec. 23d, some eight
or ten inches above the knee joint. The
operation was performed by Dr. Wallace,
of East Brady, assisted by I)rs. Eggert and
Son, who were the Squir's attending phys
icians, and by Dr. A. A. Moore, of Parker,
with Drs. A. M. Hoover and B. F. Goheen
also of I'arker, present as consulting phys
icians and assisting as exigencies required.
The operation was very skillfully perform
ed, notwithstanding the Squire is yet in a
precarious condition. It was rendered ab
solutely necessary in order to save his life.
A post-surgica l examination revealed the
fact that the largo bone of his leg was
honey-combed with perforations caused by
the incessant knawing of the dread disease
with which he was afflicted.
It is earnestly hoped by the Squire's
many friends that fce will eventually sur
vive the tremendous shock to his nervous
system, and that the germs of the virulent
malady have been completely eradicated
by the operation. Great sympathy is felt
for him and his family because of the ter
riblo calamity which has thus befallen him
and thein. CHOW CHOW.
DEATHS
TRlMßLE—Departed this life, Dec. 23d,
1890, Emma, wife of S. C. Trimble, of
Middlesex township, aged twenty-seven
J' ears -
The deceased in early life united with
Glade Run U. P. Church and remained a
consistent member thereof up to the time
of her death. She leaves a sorrowing
husband, three small children, and numer
ous loving friends to mourn her loss, but,
while we mourn we mourn not as those
having no hope, believing, as we do, that
her spirit was borne by angelic wings from
her humble homo on earth to those man
sions of glory which God has prepared in
Heaven for his redeemed children. The
Lord gave and has taken, blessed be his
name.
Rheumatism
According to went investigations is caused by
excess of lactic acid In the blood. This acid at
tacks the fibrous tissues, particularly In the
joints, and causes the local manifestations of the
disease, pains and aches In the back and shoul
ders, and In the joints at the knees, ankles, hips
and wrists. Thousands of people have found in
Hood's Barsaparl!la a positive and permanent
cure for rheumatism. This medicine by its
purifying and vitalizing action, neutralizes the
acidity of the blood, and also builds up and
strengthens the whole body.
