S.S.S. RHEUMATISM
Rheumatism is caused by an excess of uric acid in the blood, which
'"gradually gets into the circulation because of indigestion, constipation, weak
kidney action, and other irregularities of the system which are sometimes
considered of no importance. This uric acid causes au inflamed und irritated
condition of the blood; slid the circulation instead of nourishing the different
portions of the body, continually deposits into the nerves, muscles, tissues
sind joints, the irritating, pain-producing acid with which it is filled. Rheu
inatism can only be cured by a thorough cleansing of the blood, and this is
Jtist what S. S. K. does. It goes down into.the circulation, and by neutral?
izing the uric acid and driving it from the blood, effectually and surely
removes the cause. S. S. K. strengthens and invigorates the blood so that
instead of a weak, .sour stream, causing pain and agony thnughout the sys?
tem, it becomes an invigorating, nourishing fluids, furnishing health and
vigor to every part of the body and relieving the suffering caused by this
disease. S. S. S. being a purely vegetable blood purifier, is the surest and
safest cure for Rheumatism in any of its forms. Book on Rheumatism and

be something like -CO bowlers In ihc
tournament?not at all u bad showing
lor the llrsl event i>f Its kind ovur
pulled off In lllchmond.
The fact that all those In any. way
connected with u bowling alley ha\e
been barred has given conllucnee to a
number of bowlers who would not oth?
erwise have entered. In addition to
the three medals which will be award?
ed il.e uteri finishing first, second a'tiiT
third, a medal will be given to the In?
dividual making the highest score in
any one game. The management of
the Newport und Palace Alleys ha\e
decided to give a cush prize of M to the
man making the highest score on each
nlKlit of the tournament.
The one gratifying feature of the
tournament is the enthusiasm which
the bowlers have shown. livery tnun
has already declared that he will bo
en the alleys at the appointed lime.
To each of the contestants, whether ?
prize winner or not, a souvenir of the
occasion will be given. While It will
be nothing elaborate, it will neverthe?
less . be emblematic of the IIrat bigj
bowling tournament ever held In ltlch- !
mond.
At the meeting held yesterday every
detail of the tournament was discussed,
not. a single thing which would helj>

committee composed of Messrs. Me

port and Palace Alleys, money has
been donated for the purpose of re?
warding the men who may develop In?

When the violinist makes her ap?

safe to say. by one of the largest

her many gifta as n virtuoso, the char?

defray the running expenses only, and
it Is hoped, after paying the musician
engaged, to treble the hnuncial suc?

Madame Powell will, at the conclu?
sion of her third number, give an ex?

from the Mendelssonn "B Minor Coil

tirety considered the supreme lest for
any violinist who desires to make pro

this, the Rondos of Mozart in u and A
major, with the "Ave Maria" of Schu

background for the "Solo Sympohnle
