FORMER ATHLETE ALMOST A CRIPPLE

J^nee Joints Were Locked by Rheumatism : NOW "RIGHT AS RAIN" AFTEB TAKING HRUSCHEN In his youth, this man was a great runner and footballer, but in middle age the fettering pains of rheumatism bound him hand and foot. After such an aetive life as his had been, this loss of freedom of movement was particularly unbearable. He spared no effort to cure himself, but in vain — till he found the remedy which attacks Theumatism at its very source. Here he tells of his successful cure: — "My knees were so stifft with a kind of rheumatoid trouble that I could only ris.e from a chair with pain and difficulty. This had been growing woyse and worse for about two years. In addition neuritis and museular rheumatism in other parts of the .body gave me little freedom. This was all the more galling because in my young days I had played for two counties at football and held my college Teeord for the 100 and 220 yardg. Naturally ^ I tried all sorts of embrocation, but with absolutely no perceptible ,effect. Then I decided to try Erusehen Salts, and to cut a long story short, I ain now as right as rain." — W.S.T. Do you realise what causes rheumatism? Nothing but sharp-edged uric acid crystals which form as the result of sluggish eliminating organs. Erusehen Salts can always be counted upon to clear those painful crystals from the system. The numerous mineral salts m Kruschen ar'e "•ound to_ dissolve away the harmfui excess uric acid. ^ And more! Theyensure such perfect. internal regularity that no such body poisons are ever able to accumulate again. .... . Kruschen Salts is obtamable at all Cfcemists and Stores at 2/6 per bottle._ O'Beilly who was 80 nurprised when hel bowled him that after the cheering had brought the fact fo ' his notice he asked Oldfield if it had hit the wicket. After a slow period runs came a bit faster. Wyatt hit O'Beilly for four past mid-off and Hardstaff hit a four and a three off Fleetwood'Smith. Generally the batting was too slow, England had been at the wickets long enough ta get many more runs. The longer we dally the more wickets will go in Australia 's favour, so we must keep on the move all the time, It would taka too long to wait for bad balls, consequentlyv the batsmen must go out and makei foreing strokes off the better balls. We shall never get, very far until we; find how to score off O 'Beilly. That'aj

,me crux oi jtae master. x .tnougasi there were many balls from Fleetwoocbi Smith to-day that could have been driven straight or through the covers. Australia called the tune' escept in that hectic period. at the start. We haven't the stroke players Australia possesses. Hammond has been peggod down in recent Tests and Leyland has temporarily lost his off-side shots. Hardstaff played very correct if slow erickct and none of the bowlers troubled him much. In the last match or two wnen almost too late he has run into his best fprm. Anstnalia can be pleased with to-day's work. They now have ns about. where they.want us. If we win it will be the outstanding crieket feat of all time. Scores:-rr-AUSTRALIA.
