Every woman breads the ordeal

which is in store for her is q source Of
constant anxiety, fear and dread, to

payers last week. when he was not a
delinquent. AS proof of this he sent
his tax receipt for 1898 to THE LEADER

been resident of Lawrence county for
two or three years, but his name was
returned by the Assessor as belonging

During the winter of 1897, Mr.. 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 severely.
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 liniment and two and
half gallons of whisky in bathing it,
but nothing gave any relief until he
began using Chamberlain's Pain Balm.
This brought almost a complete cure
in weeks time and he believes that,
had he not used this remedy, his leg
would have had to be amputated.
