RHEUMATISM'S PAIN
can:t be rubbed away
Deep Seated Disease Is Caad by
Germs in Use Blood.
Rheumatism is a sturdy Joe, and
it never uses gentle methods wrtk its
victims. So if you are afflicted with
the disease, you may as well realize
from the first that ytm have a real
fight on your hands and that you
cannot win unless you can use the
very best methods known.
If the disease was confined to the
surface, there might be some logic in
expecting relief from fa clutches by
local applications applied to the sur
face. But you will soon learn that a
disease that can cause so much pain
and suffering is deep-seated, and
has its source far below the surface
of the skin. The pains may be slight
at first, and that is where the vic
time of rheumatism is often deceived.
He does not feel that the first
Httle twinges of pain amount to
much, and hence" they are sot
promptly heeded. But they grad
ually increase in severity ustfl k has
your entire system m its relentless
grip. The pains that seemed so shght
at first become intensely severe and
teem to take delight in your suf
ferings Of course there has been casei
uhere some slight relief was ex
penenced from the use of Kniroetits
and other local applications, but

The only sensible treatment from
which you can expect real resuhs is
a remedy that goes deep down into
the blood supply, and k3k the germs
that cause the disease. These tiny
germs multiply by the millions and
scatter by means of the blood circu-
lalioc throughout the entire system.

IV IDE THE IGNITED STVTBS
It is seldom that Australian boxers
hate given a great deal of attention
to reports of fabulous sums offered in
America and England for fights be
tween the champions of the arena.
but of late the stories about fortunes
offered for the proposed Dempsey -Carpentier
title match has set some
of them thinking. As a result several
Australian fighters are seriously
thinking of imading- the states and
England, expecting to reap some of
the soft money which the Yankees
have so often tried to get 'themselves
in other dimes. There are two or
three who will no doubt make good
in America and England, also Frawe.
but it would be wise for the others
to get return passages before start
ing The money la not hangfntr on
trees as some of them imagine.
either la the state or Europe,
and It Is oaly the very h&h class
matches, and few of them at best,
that wHl draw hie gate. The
managers of the flshters are wise
enough to try and play one pro
moter .and elnh against nnother.
In order to boost the price as high,
as posalble. It sounds great to
have a fighter drawing down
S16O.V00 or mere for a few rounds
f scrapping, bnt whether It doe
the boxing game any good or not
is another question. It often
lenves a bad taste in the month
of the boxing faas and takes time
to wipe out.
There is plenty of publicity given
an affair of that Kind, but not always
of the best.
