A noted instance of the truth of this asâ€" sertion which has just come to the knowledge of the editor of the Courier, is the case of Robert Francis, Esq, formerly of Trentun, now retired from business in Rat Portage, Ont., and still residing there. He has been & victim of rheumatism for over three years. Liagt winter he visited his friends in Trenton and was then contemplatin a visit to the south in search or relie’ from his constant foe. He had to use a staff in walking and went at a slow pace. This Christmas he was here agsin on a visit to his friends, smart and erect and without the stick or the sorrowful look of a year ago. His friends and acqusintances all scoost him as & new maun and congratulate him on his healthy, fresh and active appesrance in contrast with a year ago. He has cheerfully and gratefully given the following statement of his efforts after a cure. "My home is at Rst Portage, Ont., where for years I was engasged in business and where [ still reside. For three years I have been a great sufferer from rhenmatism, I tried several highly recommended medicines to no purpose, as I continued to grow worse till it was difficult for me to walk.

Doctors agree that rheumatism reâ€" sults from poison of and deposits in the blood, but as to jast how they can be reached and eradicated, it would seem that their knowledge fails _ The usual tramtment is a long series of medicines which mey give temporary relief, but do not cure, and then the patient usually gives up, thinking that there is no medicine that will cure him. This is a mistake. _ Rheumatism is not a necessary evil, and because one is growing old it is not imperative that one should sccept rheumatism as a natural accessory to advancing years.
