THE CHAMPION WING SHOT.

Capt. BOgardus Has a Dangerous Eek"
ne-.'er"~, bit Co'nes On Urhu~+.
Ferris Wheel Park, Chicago, Nov. 4.
Capt "A. II. Bogardus, the champion
wing shot of the world, has spent the
summer here. His shooting school has
been one of the features Of the Park
during the season. He has given many
exhibitions and his skill with the rifle
is superb
The Captain tells of very close call
he once had when living at Elkhart,
Ill He had been a sufferer from Kid
ney disease for several years, and it
rapidly developed into Bright's Disease.
All his friends told him that this was
incurable, and that he would never get
better.
To say that he was alarmed is to put
it very mildly. This plucky man had
faced many dangers, and it made him
sick at heart to think that at last he
was to be conquered by such a cruel
foe
At last he heard of a medicine that
had cured many such cases-DOdd's
Kidney Pills. He used them and was
completely restored to good health.
He says: II attribute my present
good health to Dodd's Kidney Pills and
to nothing else"

Consolation and Comfort.

Who is 1t that does not wish to be out
In the open air or alive in some field OF
sport, whether it be with the bat, roo
or gun; whether we go cOastlng over
the hills and wales on the wheel or sail
tag over rough waves or into serene
coEeg, it is all sport, and the springlng
muscles seem to need it. 1t is bound
to happen that some mishap will occur.
Thus it IS that we have spralns III
abundance. Light sprains, spralns that
cripple, sprains that give great PAIN
sprains that rob us of sleep, but sports
men Of all kinds have come to know
that there is nothing better than the
old, reliable St. Jacobs Oil. Have 1t
with you for use; you may rely on it's
cure Of the worst sprain and restoration
to the comforts of life.

Easy Come. Easy Go.

The man who cfeeps along bent over,
with his spinal column feeling in a
condition to snap like pipestem at any
minute, would readily give great deal
to get out of his dilemma, and yet this
is only the cOmmonest form by which
lumbago seizes ON and twists out Of
shape the muscles of the back. This is
commonly known as backache, crick
in the back, but by whatever name it
may be known, and however bad it may
be, ten minutes vigorous rubbing with
st. Jacobs Oil on the afflicted part will
drive out the trouble and completely
restore. 1t is a thing so easily caught
it may be wondered at why there is not
more Of it, but because it is so easily
cured by st. Jacobs Oil may be the
very reason that we hear so little Of it.
