WHAT is PAIN RALNT2

Chamberlain's Pain Balm is a lini-
ment and, while adapted to all the or
binary uses of a liniment, has qualities
which distinguish it from other rem
edies of this class. Pain Balm is espe-
cially beneficial for rheumatism. Thou
sands of cases can be cited in which
it has effected a cure when the sufferer
had previously tried the best medical
service without securing relief. Pain
Balm is positively guaranteed to give
relief in the most severe cases of chron-
ic or acute rheumatism.
Pain Balm heals bruises, burns and
scalds in less time than any other treat
ment. 1t is "antiseptic" that is. it pre-
vents putrefaction and by so doing,
generally prevents an unsightly scar
remaining after the injury is healed.
For lame back, lumbago and neuralgia,
Pain Balm has no equal. It has the
quality of getting to the right spot"
No sufferer from these distressing af-
fections should defer a trial of this
remedy. One application gives relief.
Try it. For sale by all dealers, Ben
son, Smith & Co., general agents.

HEAVY LOSS OF LIFE
INCENDIARY FIRE IN NEW YORK
RESULTS IN DEATH TO OVER
A SCORE OF PEOPLE.

New York, Nov. 3.-Twenty-flve per.
sons met death in fire which broke
out in a tenement known as the House
of All Nations at 426 Eleventh ave-
nue.. The dead include twenty-one
men, three women and a babe The
victims all died of suffocation. The
police believe the fire was of incen-
diary origin. The dead are mostly
Italians.
Some of the peculiar features Of the
disaster are that the fire was prac-
tically extinguished in twenty min.
utes, that the police could learn of
but one person being injured other
than those who lost their lives and
that the property loss was only $1,000.
In several apartments in the tene.
ment Halloween parties were in prog
ress and the guests at these added
greatly to the number of persons in
the house and made the crush and
jam to escape more than it would or.
dinarily have been.
At the windows, front and rear, bod.
les OF men and women were jammed,
showing that a desperate struggle to
get free had resulted in the complete
choking of these exits to the fire es.
capes and had been the means of q
number Of the inmates being suffo.
Gated
One fireman climbed to the fourth
floor, where window was filled with
mass Of people, jammed in and fight
Ing to get out. He struck the heads
of all the men he could see with his
fist and they fell back. He then hand.
ed down to the firemen on ladders
below three women and baby. An.
other fireman performed similar feat
and rescued two girls from the fourth
floor
