RHEUMATISM LEFT HIM AS IF BY MAGIC!
Had Suffered Over 50 Years!
Now 83 Years, Yet a Big Surprise To Friends
Regains Strength Goes Out Fishing Back to Business Laughs at "URIC ACID"
How the "Inner Mysteries" Reveals Startling Facts Overlooked By Doctors and Scientists For Centuries
"I am eighty-three years old and I doctored for rheumatism ever sinceI came out of the army over fifty years ago" writes J. B. Ashelman."Like many others, I spent money freely for so-called 'cures', and Ihave read about 'Uric Acid' until I could almost taste it. I could notsleep nights or walk without pain; my hands were so sore and stiff Icould not hold a pen. But now, as if by magic, I am again in activebusiness and can walk with ease or write all day with comfort. Friendsare surprised at the change."
HOW IT HAPPENED.
Mr. Ashelman is only one of thousands who suffered for years, owingto the general belief in the old, false theory that "Uric Acid"causes rheumatism. This erroneous belief induced him and legions ofunfortunate men and women to take wrong treatments. You might just aswell attempt to put out a fire with oil as to try and get rid of yourrheumatism, neuritis and like complaints, by taking treatments supposedto drive Uric Acid out of your blood and body. Many physicians andscientists now know that Uric Acid never did, never can and never willcause rheumatism; that it is a natural and necessary constituent of theblood; that it is found in every new-born babe; and that without it wecould not live!
These statements may seem strange to some folks, who have all alongbeen led to believe in the old "Uric Acid" humbug. It took Mr. Ashelmanfifty years to find out this truth. He learned how to get rid of thetrue cause of his rheumatism, other disorders, and recover his strengthfrom "The Inner Mysteries," a remarkable book now being distributedfree by an authority who devoted over twenty years to the scientificstudy of this particular trouble.
NOTE: If any reader of this magazine wishes the book that reveals thesefacts regarding the true cause and cure of rheumatism, facts that wereoverlooked by doctors and scientists for centuries past, simply send apost card or letter to H. P. Clearwater, No. 534 G Street. Hallowell,Maine, and it will be sent by return mail without any charge whatever.Cut out this notice lest you forget! If not a sufferer yourself handthis good news to some afflicted friend.
SIGNS OF GOLD VEIN FRENCH VILLAGE
The peaceful village life in Coudray-Montceaux, in the Seine et Oise,only half an hour's ride by train from Paris, has been greatly excitedby the discovery of metal bearing sand, the color of which indicates agold vein, less than twenty-five feet below the surface of the ground.Samples of the sand have been sent to State chemists, who refuse tomake any comment until the analyses are completed. The discovery wasmade on the farm of a retired Government clerk while drilling for water.
Speculation in adjoining properties, however, has already begun, ownersof the land refusing offers four times the former value of theirproperty, although as yet they have nothing definite to justify thebelief that a new Klondike has been discovered. In fact, a reportersucceeded in getting a handful of the sand, which he brought back toParis. He was assured by a chemist after a moment's examination of itthat it was nothing more than ferruginous flakes (fool's gold), similarto the iron pyrites which early explorers in America brought to Europeby shipload.--New York Herald.

Transcriber's Notes:
Added table of contents.
The title story of this issue originally appeared in _Fame and Fortune_#341. The later reprint represented in this e-text contains somecondensations (for example, the first two chapters of the originalversion are combined into a single chapter here), several chapter titlevariations, and the removal of many paragraph breaks.
Retained some inconsistent hyphenation (e.g. suit-case vs. suitcases,to-day vs. today).
Retained some inconsistent spelling (e.g. Pittsburg vs. Pittsburgh).
Bold is represented by =equal signs=, italics by _underscores_.
Page 5, renumbered "The Missing Diamond" from Chapter V to Chapter IV.
Page 6, changed "Piont" to "Point" in Chapter V title.
Page 7, changed "attack it to" to "attach it to."
Page 8, changed "containing silverwire" to "containing silverware" and"porprietor" to "proprietor."
Page 9, changed "wasd not very" to "was not very." Replaced misprintedtext "inventory of the loss showed that it was not very" (a duplicationof text lower on the page) with "their statement, for he knew exactlywhat was in" (the correct text recovered from the earlier appearance in_Fame and Fortune_ #341).
Page 10, added missing quote after "him to wear."
Page 13, the last line of the column ("him, so Dick laid himself out toplease her. He") was accidentally duplicated between "Monday morning"and "eleven o'clock." This duplicate text has been removed.
Page 16, changed "Fnish" to "Finish" in Chapter XI title.
Page 19, added missing "you" to "I'd like
you to know."
Page 20, added missing quote after "BIG DEAL."
Page 21, changed "becomoing" to "becoming" in "becoming cinema stars."
Page 22, changed "consel" to "counsel," "plantiff" to "plaintiff" and"objecions" to "objections."
Page 23, changed "rank any overpowering" to "rank and overpowering" and"Foresrty" to "Forestry."
Page 24, the line "ing her, although Walden had uttered no threats" ismissing from this printing between "vague alarm concern-" and "againsther." The text has been filled in from a later reprint of the story, in_Fame and Fortune_ #828.
Changed "thatt villain, Walden" to "that villain, Walden."
Unnumbered pages, added missing quote after "usually the limit." Addedsemi-colon after "Courtship." Changed "In fact, a reporer" to "In fact,a reporter." The address "438 West 63rd Street" is a best guess basedon very blurry printing.
