During the winter Of 1897 Mr.. ames
Reed, one of the leading citizens and mer-
chants of Clay, Clay Co., W. Va, struck
his leg against cake of ice in such
manner as to bruise it severely. 1t be-
came 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 lint
ment and two and half gallons OF
whiskey in bathing it, but nothing gave
any relief until he began using Chamber
lain's Pain Balm. This brought almost
a complete cure in a weeks time and he
believes that had he not used this remedy
his leg would have had to be amputated'
Pain Balm is unequaled for sprainss,
bruises and rheumatism. For sale by all

Where Lace Ab0undS.

Brussels owns countless attractive
little shops with the most tempting dis
plays of lace in their windows, many OF
which are devoted exclusively to it's sale.
1t is a recognized fact that Belglum's
capital is the place to buy laces, and one
firm alone employs twelve thousand
women in lace making, but the majority
of the weavers OF this priceless, cobweb-
by fabric are in Flemish and Belgian con-
vents. No matter how poor and shabby
a woman may be in Brussels, one may
always count on seeing her decked out in
a colIarette or handkerchief of finely
wrought lace.
