A little pounding will generally re-

to be predisposed to sore shoulders,

used. Heavy and unsteady work is
also a frequent cause of gals. A
man unused to labor can easily bis

labors l,;,bitually suffers no inconve-

have, perhaps, done little or nothing
during the winter, and, when the busy
season comes on, they are put to
..'brealzing up,'' or other heavy work,
and, as natural consequence, their
shoulders are CALLED. Could any
other result be expected? Light
work, till their shoulders are har.

profitable course.
Bathing with salt and water is q
