CUNNIN GUAM Local Agent THE ONLY WAY TO CURE RHEUMATISM Must Be Treated Through the Blood and the Poisonous Acid Driven Out The twinges and tortures of rheuma- ism are not due to cold, damp weather as so many people suppose. Rheme- tism comes from poisonous acid in the blood. This is a medical truth that every thematic sufferer should realize. There is only one way to cure rhema- tism-it must be treated through the blood. All the liniments and rubbing and so-called electrical treatment in the world will rot cure rheumatism, and the sufferer who tries them is not only wasting money, but is al . ,• ng the trouble to become more fir • y rooted in the system and harder to • re when the proper remedy is tried. Dr. Williams Pink Pills have had re arkable success in curing fheu : tis ,• because they go right to the roo -• the trouble in the blood, driving s t the poisonous acid, releasing the stiffened joints, clearing away the torturing pains, and giving the victim renewed' health and ease. Mr. Vincent Brow, Havre Boucher, N. S , says: ' "For two years I was an al- most constant sufferer frem rheumatism the trouble being so bad at times that I could sarcely get about. The trouble seemed to bring with it anaemia, and altogether I was in a very bad condition. I used doctor's medicine for almost a year without relief. Then on the advice of a friend I decided•to try Dr. Williams Pink Pills. I think I took altogether about a dozen boxes, with the result that I am again enjoying perfect health." You can get these pills through any meeidine dealer or by mail, post paid, at 50 cents a box ctr six boxes for $2 50 from the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Prockville, Ont.

After the ceremony the wedding party motor- ed to the home of the bride's parents. near Belmore, where a bountiful wed- ding feast was served.

Increase in Prices. To give an idea of the increased cost of paper let us quote paragraph from a circular received this week from a whole sale paper house: -"On February 17th we bought 276 reams of a certain grade of paper at 60e. per ream, offer-. ing it at a fair margin of profit with reasonable success. On April 24th we bought 525 reams more at 90c., selling that at a fair margin. We now need more and find that we must pay $2.40 per ream. This is an advance of 300 per cent, in seven months. Just when prices will reach the top or how long they will stay nobody knows, but it is safe to estimate that as Jong as the war lasts they will probably continue to increase and will certainly not come down. Rates on Parcels to Soldiers. Numerous inquiries of late for postal rates on parcels going to soldiers in Britain and France have been made and the following list of rates provided by the postal authorities gives all the directions required in the mailing of parcels from any point in Canada to any point in Great Britain and France: "Parcels for troops known to be in the United Kingdom are subject to the parcels post rate for the United King- dom, which is twelve cents per pound or fraction thereof.

"Parcels for the Expeditionary Forces in France and Flanders are subject to the following rated: For parties weighing up to three pounds, twenty-four cents; for parcels weighing over three pounds and not more than seven pounds. thirty-two cents.
