that development can only be
brought about by untiring and perse-

luxury and want of sei-sacriiice re-
tard rather than assist development.
Many, II cultured, deem it dishonor
rather than an honor to extend their

at present are men, who, themselves
being well developed, are exerting
their every effort for the improve

Oh, How They Hurt.

Neuralgia pains are often SO acute,
that thep sufferer becomes, almost,
trenzied with the intensity of the pain.
Salvation Oil will instantly relieve and
effectually cure neuralgia, so there
is no reason why a moments pain
should be endured. Mr.. Jacob Klein,
1896 Main St., Evansville, Ind, writes:
"My wife suffered from neuralgia for
seven years and since she used Saliva
ton Oil, she has not had a spell. 1
think it is the best linimcnt have ever
tried, and l would not be without a
bottle Of it in the house. | had the
rheumatism for five years and had tried
a great many liniments, and must say
that Salvation Oil did me more good
than any other remedy" Salvation
Oil is sold everywhere for 25 cents.
