The West Jersey r. r. has done the
"square" thing by returning to the

For every quarter in a mans pocket
there are dozen uses; and to use each
one in such a way as to derive the
greatest benefit is question
every one must solve for himself.
We believe, however, that no better Use
could be made of one of these quarters
than to exchange it for a bottle ofCham-
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Darrhoea
Remedy, a medicine that every family
should be provided with. For sale by

Mr.. ID. Z. Davis, a proment liveryman
and merchant of Goshen, Va, has this
to say on the subject of rheumatism:
take pleasure in recommending Cham
berlain's Pain Balm for rheumatism as |
know from personal experience that it
will do all that is claimed for it. A year
ago this spring my brother was laid up
in bed with infammatory rheumatism
and suffered intensely. The first appli-
cation of Chamberlain's Palm Balm
eased the pain and the use of one bottle
completely cured him. For sale by G.
W. Leech, Pleasantville, N. j.
