stepped Against a Hot stove.

A child of Mrs. George T. Benson,
when getting his usual Sunday night
bath, stepped back against n hot
stove which burned him severely.
The child was in great agony and his
mother could do nothing to pacify
him. Remembering that she had a
bottle of Chamberlain Pain Balm in
the house, she thought she would try
it. In less than half an hour after
applying it the child was quiet and
asleep. and in less than two weeks
was well. Mrs. Benson is a well
known resident of Kellar, Va. Pain
Balm is an antiseptic liniment and
especially valuable for burns, cuts,
bruises and sprains. For sale by all
druggists.

Many old people are lame,
nearly all are weak.
Worst of all, is that feeling
of languor, Of inability to act,
of WEAKNESS at trifling exertion.
Nothing will make the old
young again, but Vinol will
prevent 90 out of 100 old people
from feeling so old. II
There is no humbug about it.
We found out about Vinol, and
tried it every way before we
decided to put it on the market
and guarantee it. Now we
believe that almost any tired,
discouraged old person who
will take a bottle of Vinol and
use il as directed will feel better
right away. 1
twill increase their strength,
relieve their lameneSS and
brighten their spirits. (
1t does this by nourishing.
Don't blame the old folks for
