BEST REMEDY FOR RHEUMATISM.

BEST REMEDY FOR RHEUMATISM.
From the Fairhaven IN. W Register.
Mr.. James Rowland of this village,
states that for twenty-five years his
wife has been a sufferer from rheu-
matism. A few nights ago she was in
such pain that she was nearly crazy.
She sent Mr.. Rowland for the doctor,
but he had read of Chamberlain's
Pain Balm and instead of going for
the physician he went to the store
and secured bottle of it. His wife
did not approve of Mr.. Rowland's
purchase at first, but nevertheless APP
piled the Balm thoroughly and in an
hours time was able to go to sleep.
She now applies it whenever she feels
an ache or pain and finds that it
always gives relief. He says that no
medicine which she has used ever did
her as much good. For sale by all
dealers and druggists. Benson, Smith

final contest in the singles lies be-
tween viii Godfrey and Wilder Wight,

been advanced from the junior ranks
of the Pacific Club. Both young men
play "A strong, scientific game. The
chances are that Godfrey will carry
off the championship plum.
IN yesterdays matches Harry Wa
terhouse defaulted to Godfrey.
Roth won over f. r. Adams by a
score of 6-2 and 6-2. 1t was a great
surprise to all the spectators when

WHAT FOGS ARE MADE OF.
Nehnie pci-=-s- and Tir-ir liiry lseIavIves
ON Town and Country.

ON Town and Country.
A convenient though not strictly sci
entific classification of fog types is sea
or coast fog, valley or hill fog and town
or dust fog. The last named has been
given the euphonic designation nebula
pulverea. 1t is an artificial rather than
a natural condition. The Rev. Clement
Ley, who gave a large portion of his life
to cloud study, says, in his book,
"Cloudland, that in some parts of the
globe nebula ~pulyerea is occasionally so
thick as t. obscure almost totally the
sunlight, and in Abyssinia has led to
the tradition that the plague or dark
ness in Egypt was in reality an unusual
dust fog. The amount Of moisture varies
SO much in different fogs that the terms
"dry' and wet are used, the scien-
tifc name OF the latter being nebula
stillans. In wet fog the particles are
apt to be larger than in dry fog. A still
further division, Que, we believe, to
Robert II. Scott, is anticyclonic fog, or
fog in which no rain falls, while the
temperature, generally low in the morn
ing, continues to rise during the day,
and cyclonic fog, in which rain does
occur, while the temperature remains
about temporary.
Before leaving these town fogs we
may notice rhe part played by them in
affecting the health of the community.
Mr.. Scott las given figures showing the
mortality from diseases OF the respira-
tory system for some OF the more memo
rable fogs Of London. We have room
for but one of the many periods he gives.
From Jan. 90 to Feb. G, 1880, London
experienced eight days of fog. The aver
age temperature at s o'clock in the
morning was 90 degrees f. The total
death rate was 48.1 per 1000, a rate
unequaled since the last cholera cpl
demic, ana there were 10 less than /, 557
deaths from diseases Of the respiratory
organs.
1t is not always an easy matter to
trace direct relationship even where the
statistics are carefully gathered, but
there can be little doubt that these town
fogs are unwholesome. Indirectly they
affect the health OF the community in a
way few would imagine. A town fog is
an excellent trap for n~oxious gases, hold
ing them close to the ground. DIR. r.
Barnes, studying this question, found.
by inspection of gas plants near London,
that in foggy weather the escaping gas
was held in concentrated form in and
near the works. There are other sources
Of contamination in foul emanations
from the ground, sewers, etc. On clear,
bright days, even if no wind is blowing,
the law Of diffusion of gases acts more
effectively and helps disperse the gases.
