Mr.. Isaac Horner, proprietor of the
Burton House, Burton, w. Va, and one
of the most widely known men in the
state, was cured of rheumatism after
three years of suffering. He says: Il
have not sufficient command of Ian
guage to convey any idea of what I
suffered, my physicians told me that
nothing could be done for me and my
friends were fully convinced that moth
ing but death would relieve me of my
suffering. In June, 1894, Mr.. Evens.
then salesman Tor the Wheeling Drug
Co., recommended Chamberlain Pain
Balm. At this time my foot and limb
were swollen to more than double
their normal size and it seemed to me
my leg would burst, but soon after
began using the Pain Balm the swell
ing began to decrease, the pain to
leave, and now 1 consider that / am
entirely cured. For sale by all drug

have decided to retire permanently
from horse racing, and will train no
more horses. Magnet, the fast running
horse. will be sold, and Confederate,
another fine piece of horsefiesh, is now
being broken to harness. The Halstead
Brothers. on being interviewed regard
ing the matter last night, were reticent
when it came TO the point of why they
were making the move, but spoke de-
on their determination TO retire
permanently from the turf.
Mr.. Edgar Halstead said: For my
part. 1 have decided to leave horse
racing alone. I prefer to remain out.
I wish to say nothing about my rea-
sons for withdrawing"
Mr.. Frank Halstead said: 81 have
come to the conclusion that my broth
er and I cannot get the kind of racing
we want on the track in Honolulu, and
for that reason have decided to train
no more horses and dispose of some of
the racing stock we already have. In
regard to certain of the events on Sat
urday, June 18th, have my own opin-
ion. of course, but think that the least
said about the matter the better"
