Tho best and longest description of the first bombardment of Port Arthur b.y the Japanese was telegraphed to London b.y a correspondent, who watched it from the deck of a British steamer. Tho cost of tho telegram ran well into four figures. "See that man over there," said the man in the traincar, pointing to a wanfaced fellow-traveller, young yet bent almost double. "Well I was like that only a year ago—bent up with Rheumatism and raked with Sciatica. Now look at me—l've not a trace of tho old trouble. I'm quite hale and heartythanks to RHEUMO. I tried scores of things before RHETJMO, but they did me no good. If ever you get Rheumatism, Gout, or Lumbago, RHEUJIO will cur'e you. Thousands testify to the wonderful finalities of RHEUMO. It removes the cause of the trouble; drives the uric acid from the system, and brings | relief and cure." Of all che-mists and I stores, 2s. 6d. and ijj 6d.—Advt.
