THE BEST HEHEDV FOK KHIUMATISIR. From the Fairhaven (N. Y.) Register. Mr. Janies Rowland of this village, states that for twentv-five years his wife had been a sufferer from rheumatism A few nights ago she was in such pain that she was nearly crazy. She sent Mr. Rowland tor the doctor, hut he had read of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm and instead of going for the physician he went to the store and secured a bottle of it. His wife did not. approve of Mr. Rowland’s purchase at first, but nevertheless applied the Balm thoroughly and in an hour’s time was able to 20 to sleep. She now apples it whenever she feels an ache or a pain and finds that it always gives relief. He says that no medicine which she had used ever did her as much good.* The 25 and 50 cent sizes tor sale at Smith & Callow’s. m VERYLOW KITES TO THE WEST AND NORTHWEST.

THE SECRET. How Doctors Protect Themselves From Contagious Diseases! Doctors rarely catch contagions diseases. Almost everybody knows this, but few know how they, escape. Many believe that the doctor has some charm or antiseptic which protects him. Dr. Hattman lately made the truth of this matter public, that all might realize its benefit. Contagious diseases are conveyed by minute organisms known as disease germs. These genns find their entrance into the system through the mucous membrane. If the mucous membrane is heakhy, they can not get into the system. If the mucous membrane is affected by catarrh ‘ the germs find easy access. Catarrhal secretio'is furnish exactly the material upon which they thrive and multiply. To get rid of the catarrh, and thus preserve the mucous membrane healthy, is the only way to be safe from cofitagidus diseases. This explains why it is that some people catch diseases easier than others. Every one is exposed just the same. Not every one. how ever, falls a victim to contagious diseases. A disease germ can not enter the system through a perfectly healthy mucous membrane. Doctors know this, and therefore guard against it. This is all the secret there is about it. The best cure or preventative known to the medical profession up to date for catarrh in all its condititions is During the uncertain weather of spring-time it is an unnecessary hazard for any one to neglect to guard himself from taking Pe-ru-na. Send for free catarrh book. Address The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing Co,. Columbus, Ohio. On account of the centennial and international exposition, the G. R. & I. will sell round trip tickets to Nashville, Tenn. R6und trip season good to return Nov. 7th at rate of $17.25, Round trip limited to 20 days from date of sale $12.65.

Croup and whooping cough are childhood’s terrors; but like pneumonia, bronchitis, and other throat and lung troubles, can be quickly cured by using One Minute Cough Cure. W. H. Nachtneb.
