Recently, at Nampa, we had
short talk with Col. Dewey, president
of the Boise, Nampa & Owyhee rail

from a trip to New York, and stated
that he found many substantial men
talking of Seven Devils, and, while
Mr.. Dewey could make out no par
ticular head to matters, he said they
were all declaring their intention to
ssget together and all were positive
in stating it to be the intention to

there is room to hope that interest

Mr.. Isaac Horner, proprietor of the Bur-
ION House, Burton, W. Va, and one of the
most widely known men in the state was
cured of rheumatism after ten years of
suffering. He says: II have not sufficient
command of language to convey any idea Of
what suffered, my physicians told me that
nothing could be done for me- and my friends
were fully convinced that nothing but death
would relieve me of my suffering. In June,
1894, Mr.. Evans, then salesman for the
Wheeling Drug Co., recommended Cham.
berlain's 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 swelling began to decrease,
the pain to leave. and now consider that
am entirely cured. For sale by DR.. J. X
