In almost every neighborhood there is some one whose life has been saved by Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, or who has been cured of chronic diarrhoea by the use of that medicine. Such persons make a point of telling of it whenever opportunity offers, hoping that it may be the means of saving other lives. For sale by Holthouse, Callow & Co. a How is it that some scientist has never solved the vexed problem of a pencil invarably falling on the shapened and lighter end ? Here is a preverse violation of the law of gravity. And while he is at it, he might also explain why a cuff or collar button always rolls under the dresser. Many a man has devoted years of his life in studing out less important phenomena. If troubled with rheumatism, give Chamberlain’s Pain-Balm a trial. It will not cost you a cent if it does no good.

Holthouse, Callow & Co. a There are but eight log school houses remaining in Indiana to tell the story of this distinguished feature of the state’s educational system, and to remind the early settlers of pioneer days when the log school house was the only one to be found. Strange as it may seem, these eight are all found in the south part of the state, and near the location where the first settlers of the state carved out homes for themselves among the hills and in the I forests.

Erwin and Dick Town send were attending to business at Cincinnati, the latter part of last week. When it comes to warm things, a New York hotel fire isn’t in the same class with a Chicago municipal campaign. The only bird that does not seem to have suffered from the cold weather of this winter is, as you have surmis ed, the English sparrow. Kidney diseases are the most fatal to all diseases. Foley’s Kidney Cure a guaranteed remedy or money refunded. Holthouse, Callow- & Co. a A lecturer said recently that every color worn has an effect on the health. This is certainly true of a dark-brown taste in the mouth next morning. Pneumonia, lagrippe, coughs,colds, croup and whooping cough readily yield to One Minute Cough Cure.

People who have once taken DeWitt's Little Early Risers will never have anything else. They are the famous little pills” for torpid liver and all irregularities of the system. Page Blackburn. ts An exchange says: “A Cleveland man is suing for divorce from his wife because she persisted in going to card parties instead of staying at home to entertain him. Just imagine if women would begin suits on similiar grounds what a dreadful domestic upheaval might come to pass throughout the country.” When you become aware that the distress you suffer comes from improper action of the liver, and such I distressing symptoms as biliousness, I jaundice or torpid liver appear, take Dr. J. H. McLean’s Liver and Kidney Balm. It cures diseases of the liver and kidneys.

No use undergoing horrible operations that simply remove the results of the disease without removing the disease itself. Place your confidence in DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve. It has never failed to cure others; it will not fail to cure you.

For during the remainder of the summer months flies and mosquitoes are so numerous and hungry that persons don't care about spending a day recreating along fisting streams. The Appetite of a Goat Is envied by all poor dysyeptics whose stomach and liver are out of order.

Only 25c. at Page Blackburn’s drug store. An exchange truthfully says: It is a serious matter to start a piece of gossip that for a lifetime may reflect upon the character of another, a woman especially. People often thoughtlessly do an innocent person incalculable harm in that way. What is at first started in thoughtlessness, perhaps as a joke, may after a few repetitions be accepted as truth. If you value your own reputation respect those of others. Lingering lagrippe cough cured. Mr. G. Vacher, 157 Osgood St. Chicago. My wife had a severe ease of lagrippe three years ago and it left her with a very bad cough. She tried a bottle of Foley’s Hone}’ and Tar and it gave immediate relief. ASO cents bottle cured her cough entirely. Now we are never without a bottle of this wonderful Cough Medicine in the house. 25 and 50c. Holthouse, Callow’ & Co. a Age of Steel says: Spurt advertising, like a short winded race horse, never wins the race. Just as well move your store every three months as to do spurt advertising. People may not need what you sell just now but they w ill, sooner or later, but if they do want it and they don't find your advertisement where they first found it they will naturally conclude that you have quit business. When your heart flutters, that is not heart disease. That is no terrible heart failure; that is indigestion, the the prime cause of all short breath and jumping of the heart which so frequently follows on exertion of any kind, Go to the drug store. Get a hottie of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. No more need be said, for after you use it once, you will never fail to keep it in the house. Holthouse, Callow & Co. a

Page Blackburn. ts A Bluffton exchange says: This coming winter will see more wood burned in Bluffton than at any time since gas was first piped into the town. Every owner of a residence should see that his chimneys are in good shape this summer. He should not burn a stick of wood until he makes a thorough examination and all repairs necessary. Otherwise a fire may occur that will cost a hundred times more than the expense of repair. If you suffer from tenderness or fullness on the right side, pains under sloulder blade, constipation, biliousness, sick headache, and feel dull, heavy and sleepy your liver is torpid and congested. DeWitt’s Little Early Risers will cure you promptly, pleas antly and permanently by removing the congestion and causing the bile ducts to open and flow naturally. They are good pills. Page Blackburn. ts John Phillips, a boy aged twelve years in Jay county, will probably lose a limb or his life in a peculiar way. Last summer his ankle was pricked with a sharp bony protuberance with which the catfish is said to defend itself. The fish's head struck the boy’s leg and inflicted a severe wound, which showed symptoms of having been poisoned. Several operations were performed last winter to check the poison, but with poor success. “! Was Weak, Nervous and Run Down.” I want to testifytothe good Brown’s Cure has done me. I was weak, nervous and run down in vitality when I commenced taking it; it has done everything for me and I am now a new being. A number of my friends also speak with gratitude of the good your medicine has done them- it is indeed a grand remedy. Yours Gratefully, Mrs. L. V. Criig, 907 Mass. Ave., Indianapolis, Ind. The other day Inventor Nickum (some papers call him Nockum) refused to allow insurance inspectors to peep into his laboratory in the darkness of his cellar for fear of learning his secrets. He wouldn’t even permit them to slide down his cellar door, holler down his rain barrel or anything, he being suspicious that they were not insurance agents at all, but spies who came to rob him of his precious secret. Nickum is very sus picious. The public has its suspicions.

Remarkable cure of rheumatism. Kenna, Jackson Co., W. Va. About three years ago my wife had an attack of rheumatism which confined her to her bed for over a month and rendered her unable to walk a step without assistance, her limbs being swollen to double their normal size. Mr. S. Maddox insisted on my using Chamberlain’s Pain-Balm. I purchased a fifty-cent bottle and used it according to the directions and the next morning she walked to breakfast without assistance in any manner, and she has not had a similar attack since. A. B. Pearson. For sale by Holthouse, Callow & Co. a Beer tabloids are about to be put on the market. A small tablet dropped into a glass of water will turn it into beer as fresh as if just drawn, it is asserted. This invention will be a decided convenience, and may induce some men to stay at home who otherwise “go up street” every night. Then think of the added pleasure to fishing excursions and Dutch lunches when they can be arranged and conducted without the neaessity of handling an wkward case of a couple of dozen ice-packed pints. “Every Advertiser Lies.” Is the general impression among people who do not read.

Glorious News Comes from Dr. D. B. Cargile, of Washita, I. T. He writes: “Four bottles of Electri • Bitters has cured Mrs. Brewer of scrofula, which had caused her great suffering for years.
