In the days of our fathers and grand- fathers rheumatism was thought to be the unavoidable pénalty of middle life and old age.' Almost eyery ®lderly person had rheumatism, as well as many young people. Medical selence did not understand the trouble--did not know that it was rooted in the blood. It was thought that.aheumatism was the mere effect of exposure to cold and damp, and it was treated with liniments and hot applications, At two o'clock the next afternoon we stopped at the top of a mountain' "to listen, and we could hear the dogs! giving tongue about halfway down' «the other side." In an hour we were, © down to where the dogs were and found that they had two half-grown fir trees. They had 'm. there all night. After we: fed the dogs Charlie cut me a, about, sixteen feet long, and went up the tree where the fitst lion was and put a wire loop round his! which sometimes gave temporary re- lief, but did not cure the trouble. In those days there were thousands of rheumatic cripples. Now, medical science understands "that rheumatism is a disease of the blood, and that with good, rich, red blood any man or woman of any age can defy _rheu- matism, It can be cured by killing the poison in the blood which causes it. There are many elderly people who have never felt a twinge of rheume- tism, and y who have conquered it by simply keeping their blood rich neck and chained him to a big pine|ang pure.

'We got bogged, and couldn't kéep up with the bi machine-gunners time to get to on us. It was their luck.' "A young Scot, shivering so that his teeth chattered, spoke hoarsely, and there was no warmth in him ex- cept the fire in his eyes: 'We had a fearful time,' he daid, 'but it was the state of mud that kept us back, and the Germans took advantage of it.' 'Whenever we got near to Fritz he surrendered or ran,' said a young sergeant of an English battalion. 'We should have had him beat with solid ground beneath us, but we all got stuck in the bog, and he came out of his blockhouses and machine-gunned work holes, all filled like young ponds, and sniped us when we could not drag one leg after another.'
