SHRRNER'S
MASTER OF PAIN

! This is most perfect preparation, and seldom
fails to dogood. 1t is harmless in its effects but
powerful.to relieve Pam. If you use it once You
viii not likely be without II again. You will find il
constant household friend, giving ease and relief
Just when needed. Keep it constantly on hand
and it will save you many hours of pain and suf-
fering. There is hardly pain it viii not ease-
There is hardly an accident that will occur where
it will not be useful.
Shonld one Of your family get burned or seald-
cd cover the burned part with cloth of several
thicknesSes wet with the ssMaster of Pain', and
keep the cloth saturated with it, In a short time
it will draw all the fire ont. 1t viii cause prick
ling sensation-this is the fire coming out Keep
it wet with the Master of Pain'' until the pain
and prickling ceases. Let the wet cloth STAY on
forsBix or sight hours. after which apply some
healing ointment or sweet oil. In nearly all cases
of Pain or Soreness Of the Chest, Throat Side,
Back Spine, Limns or Joints, it viii give relief
Rub it on freely with the hand or with flannel
cloth until the skin becomes heated and burning.
For soreness of the throat rub it on gutil il pro-
duces little soreness.
For Group use it in connection with the Cough
Syrup, by rubbing it on the chest
For Rheumatism aud all deep seated pains if
the pain is not speedily removed by rubbing with
the hand lay cloth wet with the liquid over the
part affected, and pass warm smoothing iron over
For Pains in the Breast, Side or Back, the same
may be done.
For Tooth-ache, drop it on cotton, and apply it
to the nerve of the tooth, also rub the gums and
cheeks with it.
For Frosted Feet, apply the 'sMaster of Pain''
eely, and dry it in before the fire.
For Head ache rub it on the forehead
1t is called e'Master of PAIN l did not give It
this name-I don't like the name. When / first
commenced making it it was without name or label
/ made it and sold it by the ounce at my Drug
Store. l bad no idea then of making a business
Of it. Some who bought it called it Master of
Pain, and by this name it became known for many
miles round And finally, when | had label
printed | wss compelled to adopt the name, for by
that name it was known After ALL the name is
not so very inappropriate. 1t is used to alleviate
or remove pain 1t is put on wherever there is
pain. Sometimes it will cause pain, but the result
always is freedom from pain.
Reader-try it-take bottle with you-use it
whenever occasion requires give it a fair trial.

They have appealed to the Supreme

they construe the decision of that court,
it has already decreed that they have all
they ask for under the form of the present

their favor, and yet they seem inclined
to distrust that decision, and ask us to
give specific guarantees in the Constitu-
ton itself for the future fidelity Of the
