There is one medicine which every
family should be provided with. We
refer To Chamberlain's Pain Balm.
When it is kept at hand, the severe
pain of burn or scald may be prompt
ly relieved and the sore healed in much
less time than when medicine has to be
sent for. A sprain may be promptly
treated before inflammation sets in,
which insures cure in about one-third
the time otherwise required. Cuts and
bruises should receive immediate atten-
ton, before the parts become swollen,
and when Chamberlain's Pain Balm is
applied it will heal them without mat
ter being formed and without leaving a
scar. A sore throat may be cured in
one night. A piece of flannel dampen-
ed with this liniment and bound on
over the seat CT pain, will cure lame
back, or pain in the side or chest, in
twenty -four hours. 1t is the most valu-
able, however, for rheumatism. Per-
sons afflicted with this disease will be
delighted with the prompt relief from
pain which it affords, and it can he de-
pended upon to effect complete cure.

They say that Van Buren, county s
jail at Paw Paw is small, dark, insecure
and cannot be properly ventilated. In
consequence of these conditions the
place is nearly always crowded: pris.
oners are always trying and too Often
succeed in escaping; the air is unwhole
some, and it is not fit place to confine
a person. 1t Is not expected that law
breakers should be locked in a palace
but 1t is inhuman to put them into O
place that is positively injurious If no,
ruinous to health. Proof that the iai
Is insecure has been furnished at regu

of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed TO be incurable
For great many doctors pronounced
it local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven ca
tarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Cararrh Cure, manufac
