Capt. w. A. Abbott, of Des Moin-
es, Iowa, who served in Co. A. 10th
Ind. Vol. Infantry, during the war
has been afflicted with severe
attacks Of rheumatism more or less
ever since, in a recent interview he
stated that no treatment he has ever
found equals Chamberlin's Pain
Balm. The penetrating and pain
relieving power Of this medicine,
places it in the highest list of cura-
tive agents known to the scientific
world, about all the advertising this
medicine has had has been done by
persons who have used it and rec
commended it to their friends. Try
it when you are in need of a medi-
cine for lame back or rheumatism.

Pocket and Table Cutlery, and by the way if you buy any Silver Pa-

been imposed upon; They are genuine Roger goods and so cheap,
too. Then you will notice lots of other standard goods, like shovels

window glass, guns, and all kinds of ammunition, and you might
notice a little pile of shot no bigger than you are, that weighs a ton

We most forgot to mention our Whips, a nice lot, too, and if you
buy one you will not go home and whip your wife; not much. You
will feel too good after buying hardware so good and cheap. You
will be more apt to say "a penny saved is two gained" If you should
buy more than you can carry, you can buy a buggy, wagon or pair OF
