departed for Chicago.
Gov. Tanners remarks occasioned
considerable surprise, not only in his
sugges tion as to the extent in which
the mercantile interests of this imme-
date vicinity are benefited through
the consumption at the hospital, but

of trusts, and above all in his dispar-
aging illusions to the late Spanish
American war. On the whole the
governor, as a speaker, is apparently
what his political admirers are pleased
to term a diamond in the rough.

During the winter of 1897 James
Reed. one of the leading citizens and
merchants OF Clay, Clay Co., w Va,
struck his leg against a cake of ice in
such manner as to bruise it severe
". 1t became very much swollen
and panied him so badly that he could
not walk without the aid of crutches.
He was treated by physicians, also
used several kinds of Iiniment and
two and half gallons of whisky in
bathing it, but nothing gave any re-
lief until he began using Chamber
lain's Pain Balm. This brought al
most complete cure in n weeks time
aud he believes that had he not used
this remedy his leg would have had
to be amputated. Pain Balm is I'M
equaled for sprains, bruises and rheu-
matism. For sale by all druggists.
