There is one medicine which every
family should be provided with. We
refer to Chamberlain Pain Balm
When it is kept at hand the severe
pain of burn or scald may be
promptly relieved and the sore healed
in much less time than when mrdi.
cine has to be sent for. \. sprain may
be promptly treated before intlama-
ton sets in, which insures cure ia
about one-third the time otherwise
required. Cuts and bruises should re-
ceive immediate attention, before the
parts become swollen, and when
Chamberlain Pain Balm is applied it
will heal them without matter beng
formed, and without leaving scar.
\ sore throat may be cured in one
night. \ piece of flannel dampened
with this liniment and bound on over
the seat of pain, will cure lame back
or pain in the side or chest in twenty
four hours. 1t is the most valuable,
however, for rheumatism. Persons af-
lighted with the prompt relief from
pain which it affords, and it can be
depended upon to effect a complete
cure. For sale by all druggists ard

Screws In Stone.

A Dusseldorf engineer, knowing from
experience that wooden bowels intended
to secure screws in stone are liable to
weaken the walls and not afford the de-
sired solidity, has devised an ingenious
method of obtaining firm anchorage.
For this purpose, as explained in the
Philadelphia Record, a wire of suitable
thickness is coiled on to the screw SO
as to follow the threads of the same and
to form kind of screw nut. The coiling
may commence near the head or thick
end of the bolt and proceed toward the
point by laying the wire into or be-
tween the threads, so as to touch the
bottom, the section of each screw thread
being preferably triangular or trapezoid-
al and the core of the screw conical.
After arriving at the point of the screw
the wire may be wound backward over
the helix already wound on, but with a
sleeper pitch, so as to leave wider in
terstices between consecutive convolu-
tions of the wire. On the latter having
been laid ON so as to form nut and the
screw withdrawn, the nut or wire coil
is introduced into hole which has been
made in the wall for this purpose and
slightly wider than the diameter of the
nut measured over the outer layer of
the wire, and then the interstices are
filled up with plaster of paris cement
When the binding material has become
sufficiently hard and firm, the screw
bolt is screwed into the wire coil and
may now be screwed out and in repeat
eddy without damaging the wall, as the
wire serves as screw nut and is Sc
cured to the stone or wall by the cement.
