During the winter of 1897 Mr. James
Reed, one of the leading cltIzers and mer-
chants of Clay, Clay Co., W. Va, struck
his leg against cake of ice In such q
manner as to bruise it severely. 1t be-
came very much swollen and panied him
80 badly that he could not walk wi bout
the aid of crutches. He was treated bv
physicians, also used several kinds Of
Eminent and two and half gallons of
whiskey in bathing it, but nothing gsve
any re lief until he began using Chamber
lsin's Pain Balm. This brought almost
complete cure In q weeks time and he
believes that had he not used this remedy
his leg would have had to be amputated,

Mistake

It is a wellknown fact that Lydia
e. Pinl1ham's Vegetable Compound
has cured more women than any other
remedy. 1t therefore must be the
best possible medicine for female ills.
But some women make the mistake
of thinking that they will try some
thing else, simply because it is new.
That mistake is often d fatal one
fatal to the health and happiness Of
the eXperimenter.
Is it not foolish to risk the possible
results of such experiments? Is it not
better to depend upon a medicine
which has been tried successfully foaz
thirty years, and which has never
been found wanting? Do not therefore
let any one persuade you to try some
thing which they say is just as good
1t cannot be just as good. Mrs. Pink
hams Compound is the best, and there
can be only one best. This is not
mere assertion, but is a positive fact,
admitted by hundreds of regular
physicians.
Rely on your own common sense,
and Mrs. Pinkham's lifelong expert
ence, and you will make no mistake.
Don't experiment with your health,
but take a medicine that you kNozO is
good, and is backed by such letters aa

The Best Age For Men to Marry

Edward Box, writing in Ladies' Home
Journal, on "a Boy for Husband" con-
tends that "no man under twenty five
years OF age is in any sense competent to
take unto himself wife. Before that age
he Is simply a boy who has absolutely
nothing which he can offer to girl as q
safe foundation for life happiness. He is
Uniformed in bis character, unsettled in
ideas, absolutely ignorant of the first
essentials Of what consideration or love
for woman means. He doesn't know
himself, let alone knowing a woman.
''He is full OF faneies. and it is his boy
ish nature to fit from one fancy to
another. He is incapable OF the affection
upon which love is based, because he has
not lived long enough to know what the
feeling or even the word means. He is
full of theories, each one of which, when
he comes to put it into practice, will fail.
He is boy, pure and simple, passing
through that trying period through
which every boy must pass before he be-
comes man. But that period Is not the
marrying time. For, as his opinions OF
life are to change, so are his fancies OF the
girl he esteems as the only girl in the
world to make him happy. The man Of
thirty rarely weds the girl whom he
fancied when he was twenty"

One OF the teachers in the Sunday
school OF a Bangor church was endeavor-
ing to instili into the little girls OF her
class recently due appreciation OF
parental affection. She spoke of the
mothers love for her children, and of the
respect which children should show to
the mother. For some reason she rather
omitted to lay as much stress upon the
father. Finally one Of the little girls re-
marked that she thought children should
love their mothers much more than their
fathers. "Why do you think that?"
asked the teacher. "Oh, WE'LL" said the
little tot, "your fathers are only related
to you by marriage, but your mothers are
related to you by bornationl"
