without error so that the printer can
insert the item in his paper without first
making some change, and yet how many
papers does n publisher get out in a year
that are not closely scrutnizcd by the
people for some error, and how good

IL will cure rheumatism, and hundreds
bear testimony to the truth oil this
statement. One application relieves the
pain. and this quick relief which it
affords ~ alone worth many times its
cost. For sale at Coles Pharmacy.
