How They Cure rheumatism in Penn
sylvania.
Mr.. J. F. Meighan, Pittsburgh cigar
dealer, awoke one morning with an at
tack OF rheumatism in his right arm.
Working around the store during the
forenoon made it worse. By noon the
pain was so severe that he could not
raise his hand to his head and had to
carry his arm in a sling. One of his GUS
toners, on learning the facts, went
across the street to E. E. Heck's drug
store, and at his own expense procured
a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm
and persuaded the cigar dealer to try it.
1t eased the pain and reduced the swell
ing so that by the next morning he
could use his arm, and by the second
morning was entirely well. This is only
one of the many severe cases of rheuma-
tism that have been cured by this valu-
able remedy. so cent bottles for sale

THE RAIN.

Good for Orchardists but Bad for the
Grain Men.
Colonel J. R. Dobbins was in the city
Yesterday, and when asked his opinion
of the effects of the rain of yesterday
morning said, SIT was of great benefit to
the orchardists, but l fear that the hay
and grain men will suffer. understand
that little hay has been cut west of the
city, but in the San Gabriel valley large
amounts have been cut. This will all
have to be spread out and dried, which
will be apt to injure its quality. The
rain, fear, was hard enough to lodge a
great amount of grain, and it may cause
some rust. Deciduous orchards will not
suffer, 1 think, as the fruit is now quite
fairly set"

In the right bank OF the river Amoo-

the hills leading to subterranean city,
the evidence of which dates back into

AN ANCIENT WRECK.

Discovery of n SunIscn Ship of the Time
of Henry the Eighth.
y most interesting discovery has, ac-
cording to the Interior, been made at
the old Cinquc Port of Sandwich. The
'>tour, river which has, perhaps, more
frequently changed it's course than any
other English river, has lately entered
an Old channel near its confluence with
Pcgwell bay, laying bare n wreck which
mas probably occupied its present posi-
ton for several centuries. The vessel
is one of foreign build, and the wood is
i'll Il fair state of preservation owing to
the fact that it has for many years been
entirely embedded in the sand. On in
spection it would appear that, from
time to time, various attempts had been
made to cut down the wreck, but the
null OF the vessel is rs yet pretty nearly
intact. 1T is matter of local history
that a little over three hundred years
ago, in the reign of Henry Will, an
Italian vessel, belonging to one of the
popcs, sank ut the entrance of the then
lourishing port of Sandwich The sand
siited round it, forming IL great bank,
and blocking up the entrance to the
haven, and it is recorded that, from this
date the prosperity OF Sandwich as n
seaport greatly declined 1t is believed,
with some show Of reason, that the
ancient wreck now discovered is idcntic.

no effect they sent for physician.
