UNABLE TO STAND FOR MONTHS
BECAUSE OF SPRAlNED
ANKLES.
Cured by st. Jacobs Oil,

Among the thousands of voluntary in
'lorsemcnts Of the great value of st.
Jacobs Oi! for sprains, stiffness and sore
ness. is that Of Mrs. q. Thomas, Alex
andra road, Cell, Ysbrod, near Ponty-
pridd, South Wales, who says:
1T is with great pleasure that add my
willing testimony to the invaluable excel
'cnce OF your celebrated st. Jacobs Oil,
as experienced in my own case. l sprain-
ed both my ankles in walking down some
steps so severely that l was unable to

suffered was most severe, and nothing

was quite cured l am now determined
to advise all persons suffering from pains
to use this wonderful remedy, which did
SO much for me-
Mrs. Thomas does not enlighten us as
to what treatment she pursued during the
months she was unable to stand, and dur
ing which time she was suffering so
much, but we venture to suggest that hac
she called in any well-known medical
man he would have at once prescribed st.
Jacobs Oil, for it has conquered pain up
wards Of fifty years, and doctors know
there is nothing so good. The proprietors
Of St. Jacobs Oil have been awarded
twelve gold medals by different interna-
tional exhibitions as the premier pain
killing remedy Of the world. The COM
mittees who made the awards were in
each instance composed largely Of the
most eminent medical men obtainab
Mrs. Thomas evidently did not know the

New Cure for Rheumatism.

Hester, Mo-, Dec 1G.-An unusual
case which has recently come to light
here is exciting the keenest interest
among medical men. Mrs. Ellenor
Guardhouse suffered for over forty
years with Sciatic tism so Sc
verely and so constantly that her case
has been regarded as chronic and abso-
lutely incurable. At times the pain was
almost unbearable and she could not
rest day or night.
Some few months ago she was induc-
I'd to try D0dd's Kidney Pills, rem
edy recently introduced in this neigh
borhood The immediate results were
magical and she continued till she had
taken eight boxes, and now she de-
clares she has not an ache or pain left.
She believes that she is completely and
permanently cured, and as she has not
used the pills for some months and is
to-day in thesbest of health, the doctors
who were at first skeptlcal are amazed.

Siberia's Railway Completed.

At length. after years of labor that be-
gan in the last decade the Nineteenth
century, the famous trans Siberian rail
way is finished. 1t has been an expen-
sive undertaking. Its total cost. includ-
ing all it's branches md auxiliary under
takings, amounts to $3.50, ,OOO, 600, of
which $35O,OOO, 900 was expended by the
close Of the final year in the Nineteenth
century. Favorable as the results have
proved along this OF line. 5542 miles in
length, the real sources of income for i.
have scarcely been touched. Siberia is

Vaccinate ed by Pills.

The Iowa state board of health is in
vestigating the question whether it is
possible to render a person immune from
smallpox by the administration of a sub
stance internally. A Cedar Rapids
school children certificates showing they
have been vaccinated. The treatment on
the strength of which the certificates are
given consists not in vaccination, as it is
generally understood, it is alleged, but in
the administration of pills, which are
taken into the stomach. 1t is supposed
by members of the board Of health the
pills contain vaccine virus. The problem
the committee has to solve is whether
the vaccine virus taken into the stom-
ach is cffective.-Springfeld Republican

Where Painting Never Ceases

Ever since the Forth bridge was
opened-eleven years ago-painting has
gone on continuously. Beginning at the
south end the workmen take three years
to cover the entire length of the bridge,
and, as three years represent approx
mately the life Of the paint, no sooner
are they finished than the men have to
begin again. In this way every square
inch of steel comes under observation at
least once in three years. The staff of
men employed varies in number from the

many varieties Of fruit-strawberries,
cranberries, saskatoons, huckleberries,
red and black currants, dewberries.
plums, red and black cherries, and red
