Good for Rheumatism,

Last fall I was taken with a very severe attack of muscular rheumatism which caused me great pain and annoyance. After trying several prescriptions and rheumatic cures, decided to use Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which 1 had seen advertised ill the South Jerseyman.

A 'POSSUM STORY.
After Surveying the Evidence Uncle
Rastus Believed He Had Eaten
the Animal.

A Kentuckian brings to town a re-
vised version of an old story, says the
New York Press. Uncle Rastus having
captured a 'possum in a 'simmon tree,
scalded the hair off, dressed it, stuffed
it, put sweet Eaters all 'roun' and
baked it to turn, then laid it away to
get cold for dinner. That night before
the fire in his cabin he gazed at the
'possum, in platter on the floor I'M
til he fell asleep to dream of the COM
ing feast. A culled neighbor passing
by peeped through crack in the door,
and, espying the 'possum neglected
and the old man soundly snoring, en-
tered on tiptoe to help himself. When
he had finished only plateful of bones
and some grease remained. The latter
he spread all over Rastus' lips, cheeks,
nose and chin and rubbed on the old
mans fingers, then departed. Rastus'
amazement was profound at seeing
the heap of bones. But he smelled dat
'possum, he tasted it. 1t was on his
lips and smeared on his face. 1t was
on his hands! After solemnly COM
muning with himself he rubbed his
paunch for evidence and remarked:
"Ah must er eat dat 'possum, but sholy
dey's less fullness bout dat 'possum
den eny 'possum All eber tasted en- all
ma gone days"

THREW HIS CANES AWAY.

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, March Gath.
Mr.. C. L. Smith of 800 Anne St., the
Sec'y. of the Trades Council has writ
ten this startling statement for pub
ication.
81 feel it my duty to make public
the facts of my recent illness and re-
covery. I was very sick and sore, and
had to walk with the aid of two
canes. It was very painful attack,
but don't know what it was. Some
said it was Lumbago, and others that
it was Sciatica or Rheumatism.
81 was told to take Dodd's Kidney
Pills, and began a treatment. After
I had used one box could walk with
one cane, and after two boxes were
used / could walk without any help.
I kept on and three boxes cured me
completely.
81 am now well and happy without
pain or an ache and l can very truly
say that Dodd's Kidney Pills are
worthy of my greatest praise"
