What Becomes of Arctic ina

1t has been source Of much sur
prise TO Professor NordcnSkjold that
during his expedition within the
arctic circle. in regions where ami
mai life is abundant, he has found
very few remains Of animals which
died natural death. No one has
any idea of what becomes of the
bodies of such animals, and it is in
deed very strange that on Spitzber-
gen it is easier to find bones of a
gigantic lizard Of remote geological
time than those of q ''sclf deal'
seal, walrus or bird. The same is
also true of some places not so far
north.

Is constant reader Of the Dayton

aims to advertise only the best in its
columns, and when he saw Chamber
lain's Pain Balm advertised therein
for lame back, he did not hesitate in
buying a bottle of it for his wife, who
for eight weeks had suffered with the
most terrible pains in her back and
could get no relief. He says: "After
using the Pain Balm for a few days my
wife said to me, Il feel as though born
anew, and before using the entire
contents of the bottle the unbearable
pains had entirely vanished and she
could again take up her household du-
ties" He is very thankful and hopes
that all suffering likewise will hear of
her wonderful recovery. This valu-
able liniment is for sale by Shuttle
