An Ancient Belief,

The sncients believed that rheumatism
was the work of a demon within a man.
Any one who has had an attack of sciatio
or infiammstory rheumatism will agree
that the infiiction is demoniao enough
to warrant the belief 1t has never been
claimed that Cham berlain's Pain Balm
would cast out Demons, but 1t will cure
rheumatism, and hundreds bear testl-
mony to the truth of this statement.
One application relieves the pain, and
this quick relief which IL affords IL
alone worth many time its cost. For

AS A WOMAN SEES IT.
One Of the Fair sex Gives Her opinion Of a
Man Hunt.

once upon q time there were two old
maids-how curious that the first thing
TO suggest itself TO woman in connec-
tion with a "man hunt" should be old
maids SO much for the association Of
ideas But with these unappreoiated
blessings it is u different story. Thsy
were sitting before the fire looking in.
to that long vista Of miRhthave- beens.
Just suppose" said one, that we
had married and you had little girl
and | q little boy, and they had been
playing in front Of this CRATE and their
little dresses had caught fire. and they
been burned 60 death And with that
these two spinsters, with all their pent
up sentiment. wept for an hour over
the horror Of the possible situation.
And Just in such condition | find my
self to. day. conjuring up all the dread
possibilities Of what the outcome Of
that gentleman-like pastime, a man
hunt, might have been.
The women might have been wont 10
view with horror the amusements in
dulged in during the dark ages. They
have passed through the stages Of ab.
horrence antipathy and apprehension
at talk Of prize-fght and footyall,
but to think that in the dawning Of
the twentieth century the sons Of
old Virginia should not only permit,
but encourage, this man hunt they call
sport. is enough 20 make one stand
aghast. turn pale and cry aloud ;
