THE EXETER TIMES-ADVOCATE
LETTER BOXHAD RHEUMATIC
His Arms Were Becoming
Useless
It was about 25 years ago that
rheumatism first marked down this
sufferer; and finally the day came
when he could hardly lift his arms.
But he fioqnd relief—here in this
letter he tells the whole story;.—>
“About 25 years ago I first ex
perienced slight muscular rheuma
tism in my arm and shoulder'. A few
years later lumbago also attacked
me, They gradually got worse u<n-
til the pain got acute in both arms
and loins. I could not lift a jugful
otf water with my arm extended
straight out. About 12 months ago I
bought a bottle of Kruschen Salts
and by the time it was finished I
was surprised at a slight improve
ment, I bought another one, and
when that was finished all the pain
had disappeared, and has never ap
peared since."—|T, R.
The pains and stiffness of rheu
matism are frequently caused by de
posits of uriic1 acid in the muscles
and joints. The numerous salts in
Kruschen assist in stimulating the
internal organs to healthy, regular
activity, and help them to eliminate
this excess uric acid.
NO SLOT MACHINES
IN HURON COUNTY
i&ODEiRICH, Jan,. 18.—There is
not a slot or pin machine in opera
tion in the County of Huron today,
County Constable Ferguson reported
this afternoon after a survey. The
county recently launched a drive
against the machines.
“The county has been cleaned
clean of these contraptions," he is
reported as saying.
It is understood that co-operation
from the owners of the machines, al
so the operators, was secured by the
authorities.
The owners said they could not
see eye to eye (with the law, but
would bow to its wish and save liti
gation.
•One company representative said
his firm had already spent $50,000
to establish the legality of its slot
machines and had a favorable rul
ing from the Supreme Court. De
spite this, however, the machines
in question were loaded into a truck
and taken away.
Three prosecutions of keeping
gaming resorts in connection with
these slot machines are scheduled
for hearing next Thursday.
We may not have had “June in
January" as the popular song put it
but it certainly felt like March or
April in January.—Fergus News Re

A MUSIUM FOR EXETER
Mr. Editor:—
I was very much pleased to read
the interesting letters in your
columns some time ago in reference
to a musuem fop Exeter. I believe
it wouldi be an excellent means of
education, Objects used in the
Pioneer days and preserved until the
present teach valuable lessons to the
young people. (Articles from foreign
climes teach their lessons to the
people at 'home. Objects from other
provinces teach people of our pro
vince of life there. All of these are
lessons that are gladly learned be
cause they appeal to the curiosity of
the human race and they are lessons
that are remembered.
But for Exeter. How can we
make a beginning? Have we not one
enthusiast who will make a start?
Quiet working? Yes, that is one
way. A public meeting? All right.
What is needed is someone wiho will
not give up.
Is there.not a teachei' in our
school who could lead? Is there not
an older man or woman in our town
who could help? Surely.
How well I remember Professor
Currelly as a schoolboy here in Ex
eter who went to Toronto as a lad,
secured his degree in the University
and to-day is the curator of the
splendid museum in connection with
Toronto University.
I little thought that day back in
1/8i89 or 1890 when we chatted so
pleasantly over in our schoolhouse
that bright school boy would rank
among the leading archoeologists
and Egyptologists of the present
day. He started at the bottom and
climbed gradually. ISo could one of
our teachers or one of our school
boyis, yes, or one of our school girls,
iget a start here, render a .real ser
vice to our town and then graduate
in a museum belonging to one of a
thousand cities that are seeking cap
able curators for their civic mur
seums.
Someone asks where shall we get
objects enough to start one. Do
not worry. Many families in Ex
eter can supply one on more. Old
boys and girls of Exeter, scattered
far and wide, will be glad to send
worth-while specimens. These,
when exhibited with donor’s name
attached, create interest. Some
simple things have historical value.
'In the Smithsonian Institute one
day I was surprised at the skele
tons ofi dinosaurs and other huge
animals of prehistoric times as well
as the mounted specimens of' the
present day creatures from this and
other land's. But I also viewed
with great interest such things as
TlWRSmr, JANUARY 28tfb 1037
letters of great men, historical doc
uments, clothing and arms of Custer
and his men worn the day of the
massacre, a Red River cart, the
Spirit of 'St. Louis, suspended to the
ceiling, mementoes of the U. S. Pres
idents, etc., etc, What a great
school it was.

The Danger of Cough
Concerning Children
In young children a cough or cold is not a thing
to be disregarded, as it is often a grave matter,
and unless attended to at once may cause serious
trouble.
On the first sign of a cough or cold the mother
will find in Dr. Wood’s Norway Pine Syrup just
the remedy required.
Its promptness and effectiveness in loosening the
phlegm is such that the trouble may be checked be
fore anything of a serious nature sets in.
Children like it; take it without any fuss.
