his desire being to leave their minds unbi-

he provided that the children should not be

Merchants Gargling Oil has won for
itself a world wide reputation as a lini
ment useful in rheumatism, sprains,
bruises, burns, scalds &c. This prepare
ton was first manufactured in 1888. and
since then has steadily grown into the
favor and confidence of the people. The
long term of years which it has constantly
been brought to the notice of the public,
together with its immense sale, give
evidence of an inherent value which can
not be doubted An objection to its use
that of staining the skin. has been entirely
removed, 50 that it now leaves no stain
whatever. Although called Family OIL 2
and prepared Intentionally for human flesh,
it answers as well for beasts; and will be
found one of the best remedies for all
purposes, which a linement is required,
that has ever been manufactured. -"The
