if Your Stomach Is Lacking in Di

Stomach Do Its Work?
Not with drags, but with a rein

are naturally at work In the stomach.
Scientific analysis shows that diges
tion requires pepsin, nitrogenous fer

these agents are lacking in your -digestive
apparatus.

AT THE DAVIS.
It is -needless to suffer any longer
with rheumatism, and be all crippled
up, and bent out of shape with its
heart-wrenching pains, when you can
surely avoid it.
Rheumatism eemes frem weak, in
active kidneys, that fail to -filter frem
the blood the poisonous waste matter
and uric aeid; and it is useless to
rub on liniments er take ordinary
remedies to relieve the pain, This
only prolongs the misery and can't
possibly cure you; '
The only way to cure "rheumatism
is to remove the cause. The new dis
covery, Crexone, does this because it
neutralizes and dissolves all the pois
onous substances and uric acid that
lodge in the joints and muscles, to
scratch and irritate " and" eause rheu
matism, and cleans -out and strength
ens the stopped-up, Inactive --kidneys,
so they can filter all the poison frem
the blood and drive it on and out ef
the system.
Croxone is the most wonderful
medicine ever made for euring chronic
rheumatism, kidney-troubles and blad
der disorders. Xeu will find it differ
ent from all other remedies. There is
nothing else on earth like it. It mat
ters not how old you are, er how long
you have suffered, it is practically
impossible to take It into the human
system without results. Yeu will find
relief from the first few doses, and
you will be surprised how guickly all
your misery and suffering will end.
An original package of Croxone
costs but a trifle at any first-class
drug store, such as thati of Lee &
Osgood, Co. All druggists are author
ised to sell it on a positive money
back guarantee. Three doses a day
for a few days is often all that is
ever needed to cure the worst back
ache or overcome urinary disorders.

Denman Thompson's Old Homestead.
An audience that filled the house
from the first row in the orchestra to
the topmost row in the family circle.
gave an enthusiastic greeting to the
ever popular play, The Old Home
stead, at the Davis theater on Thurs
day evening, where it was given by
the company under the direction of the
son of the man whose name is insep
arably connected with the great delin
eation of New England life." Edward
L. Snader was cast for the part made
famous by Denman 'Thompson, and
had the support of A capable company
which won a plenteous share of aip
plause as it swayed the big house with
the humor and pathos of the play. As
Joshua Whitcomb, Mr. Snader was
easily the wholesouled, hearty and
simple, yet shrewd man of the farm
whom thousands have laughed or wept
with. Charles Sea graves and Charles
H. Clark were perfect in the character
work called for as the two old and
somewhat crotchety villagers, and Mrs.
Maggie Breyer was equally effective
as Aunt Matilda. William Brandt,
Fred Clare and Miss- Minnie Stansil
were conspicuous for clever work.
Nothing finer in quartette- singing
has been heard at the theatre than
that given by the mala double quar
tette consisting of Richard Ross,
Charles Ingoldsby, E. F. Cochran, Gus
Kammerlee, Fred Clare, Will Raymond.

None of the " breakfast foods," "health foods," or other
