Mr.. Isaac Horner, proprietor of tt e
Burton House, Burton. w. V, and one
of the most widely known men in the
state was cured of rheumatism after
three years of suffering. He says: II
have not sufficient command of Ian
guage to convey any idea of what 1
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..
Evens. then salesman for the Wheel
ing Drug Co., recommended Chamber
lain'S Pain Balm. At this time my foot
and limb were swollen to more than
double their normal size and it seem
ed to me my leg would burst, but soon
after 1 began using the Pain Balm the
swelling began to decrease, the pain
to leave, and now / consider that
am entirely cured. For sale by Jones

neuralgia, sleeplessness, pain or dull
ache in the back, desire to urlnate

Uric acid, or brick-dust deposit in
urine are signs of c!ogged kidneys,
causing poisoned and germ-fllsd
blood. Sometimes the heart aches
badly, and tube casts (wasting OF the
kianeys) are found in the urine, which
if neglected will result in Brlghts
Disease, the most dangerous form OF
kidney trouble.
All these symptoms and conditions
are promptly removed under the infir.'

Adulterated Flour,

1t is not generally known by con
sumers, that what is sold as wheat
flOur is often freely adulterated
with corn Hour or corn starch, yet
it is nevertheless fact. The corn
-four, or corn starch, as the case
may be, is mixed with the genuine
wheat article, because it is cheaper,
and sharp dealers, who are on to
the trick, beat their honest cOmpeti-
tors by underselling them with the
adulterated cheap stuff. 1t is very
difficult for even an expert to de-
tect the counterfeit article. II
anything, the adulterated -four is
winter and prettier in appearance
than the genuine.
1t is not claimed by any one tina
-four adulterated as above de.
scribed is less wholesome than
the pure article of wheat -four, as
corn is everywhere known to be
one of the most wholesome of
foods The objection is that it it
a fraud on the public and honest
-four mill men and merchants. 1t
is a subject, however, which can
and ought to be remedied by suita-
BILE legislation. AS has been sug-
gested by the New Orleans Plea.
yune and other leading journals,
this can be done by Congress, or
by the several States, compelling
the manufacturers of and dealers in
such adulterated -four to label il
as blended or adulterted, as has
been done in the case of OleOmar-
garine and other food products, so
that the retail merchant and his
customer may both know exactly
what they are getting when they
buy.
