Stepped Against a Hot Stove.

A child of Mrs. Geo. T. Benson, when getting his usual Saturday night bath, stepped back against a 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 Chamberlains s Pain Balm in the house. she thought she would try 1t. In less than half an hour after applying 1t the child was quiet and asleep and in less than two weeks was well. Mrs. Benson is a we'll known resi- dent of Kellar, Va.

SCIENCE PREVENTS BALDNEss
The Fatal Germ and ItsRemedy Now
 Facts of Science.

It is the rarest thing in the world for a man to be necessarily bald. No man whose hair is not dead at the roots, need be bald if he will use Newbro's Herpicide. the new scalp antiseptic. Herpicide de- stroys the germ that cuts the hair off at the root; and cleans the scalp of dandruff and leaves 1t in a perfectly healthy con- dition. Mir. Mannett, in the Maryland Block Butte Mont. was entirely bald. Tn less than a month Herpicide had re- moved the enemies of hair growth, and nature did its work by covering his head with thick hair an inch long, and in six
 weeks he had a normal suit of hair. Sold
 by leading druggists. Send 10c in stamps for sample to The Herpicide Co.,, Detroit Mich. E. G. Fowler, Special Agent.
