Nacbtrieb, “The Druggist.” m Rheumatisui Quickly Cured. Three days is a short time to cure a I bad case of rheumatism; but it can be done, if the propar treatment is adopted, as will be seen by the following from James Lambert, of New Bruns wick, Ill.; “1 was bafily atliicted with rheumatism in the hips and legs, when I bought a bottle of Chamberlain’s Pain i Balm. It cured me iu three days. I ! am all right to-day; and would insist on ■ I everyone who is afflicted with that ter- • rible disease to use Chamberlain’s Pain > Balm and get well at once.” 50 cent ■ bottles for sale by W. H.

The failure of John B. Burkhead in < the grocery busineSs. demonstrates the • fact that any man doing business on a small capital slsold t do acredit business If they do it will be but a short Aime until they have to sell out or be sold out Mr. Burkhead in the goodness of his heart trusted a large number of people who could not get credit any where else. Some came up and paid, while others instead of paying him when they had money would go to some other store and buy while their money lasted. and return when they wanted credit; never offering to pay anything. While most of the people will say. it was his fault; that he should not have trusted them, i fete., they came to him making all sorts . of promises to pav that they could mus- ; ter up, and were accommodated. One 1 of the creditors now says he wishes his - account was twice what it is, or that he , ought to have made it more than what. > it is. No doubt this same man with 3 others of Mr. Bulkhead's creditors can f be found day after day and night after night in saloons, pooling and drinkins 1 the money that should nave been paid to the grocer. There is but one way to be successful in business, credit no one.
