HOW TO TREAT A COLD.

The person who is immune from
colds, Influenza, la grippe or chills,
is to be congra tulated. Sudden
changes in temperature, overheated
rooms, exposure to wind and rain,
are among the common causes that
lead to an attack.
No cold is serious at the start, but
if neglected, it is liable to develop into
lagrippe, Rheumatism, pneumonia and
other serious troubles. If taken in
hand at once and treated with Phen-
amid Tablets, it will soon disappear.
In advanced stages of a cold, Phen-a-
mid gives quick relief, but the cure
takes a little longer. When the cold
is accompanied by pressure in the
head, neuralgia pains or headache,
Phen-a-mid is invaluable. 1t is rem
edy that may be safely administered
by anyone. Phen-a-mid does not
weaken the action Of the heart nor
upset the stomach.
Physicians are prescribing Phen-a-
mid every day, and it is used freely
in hospital practice. No household
should be without it.
Phen-a-mid, the great pain destroy
er, is a positive cure for all aches
and pains, including headache, neu-
ralgia, dyspepsia, Rheumatism, sciat-
lea, etc. 25 cents a bottle at all

Especial to the Palladium

Especial to the Palladium
Dunkirk, Ind, July 25.-Before a
very large crowd here yesterday the
Model Specials shut out the team
from Richmond in what was one of
the best battles of the diamond seen
here this season, by the score of
to O.
Despite the one-sided score, the
game was a good one, and was holly
contested up to the last few innings.
The feature Of the game was the
wonderful pitching Of Saltmarsh, the
local pitcher. In the nine innings
he struck out nine men, making a rec
ord for this city and county for the
year in semi professional game, and
allowed but two straight hits. AL
though Richmond worked hard they
were not able to make anything off
Of their two tabs of the ball.
For the first three innings there
were no scores made, and both sides
played with a vim. In the fourth the
locals rolled up a score, the first of
the game. But in the sixth the
slaughter took place and after the
smoke cleared away the score was five
to nothing for the locals. In the
eighth four more runs were marked
up. Richmond made four errors and
Dunkirk one.
