Crazy nan.

A strange man was noticed wan
dering aimlessly about the fields
and woods at West Nottingham
last week. When approached by
anyone he would try to escape and
could not be induced to talk or give
any account of himself. When
offered food he dashed it to the
ground. He was finally captured
and brought to Rising Sun last
Friday and placed in charge of
Constable Benz. Btiscoe, who took
him to Elkton Jail. On searching
his clothing his pockets were found
stuffed with twigs and grass, but
there was nothing by which the
man could be identified.

The ancients believed that rheumatism
was the work of demon within a man.
Any one who has had an attack of sciatic
or infammatory rheumatism will agree
that the infection is demoniac enough to
warrant the belief 1t has never been
claimed that Chamberlain's Pain Balm
would cast out demons. but it will cure
rheumatism, and hundreds bear testimony
to the truth ofthis statement. One appli-
cation relieves the pain, and this quick
relief which 1t affords is alone worth
many times its cost. For sale by E. T.
