With all the luxuries and Pleasures OF
this life, its big enjoyments and its smaller
comforts there is an offset or antithesls
which we have to contend with in the
form of aches and pains. In some way and
bv some means every one has toucf OF
them in some form at some time. Trifi'ng
as some of them may be. the risk is that
they will grow to something greater and
rack the system with constant torture,
There is nothing, therefore, of this kind
that we have right to tritle with. Taken
in time, the worst forms of pains and
aches are easily subdued and cured
by the free use of st. Jacobs Oil.
No we'll regulated household ought to be
without bottle of this great remedy for
pain. 1T is the specific virtue of penetra-
ton in St. Jacobs Oil that carries 1t
right to the pain spot and effects prompt
cure even in the most painful cases OF
rheumatism, Neuralgia, Lumbago Sciatica
You want it also in the house at all times
for hurts cuts and wounds, and the house
that always has it keeps up a sort of in
surance against pain.

Origin of $50 Long"

With reference to the origin of the
familiar expression, 80 long" a cor
respondent of the London Academy
suggests that it is derived from the
Norwegian "Saa laenge," Il common
form of farewell, equivalent in mean-
ing to "au rcvOir,' and pronounced like
$50 long" with the "g' softened. There
was a fair number of Norwegians
among the settlers in America, to
judge by the names. and it Is quite
likely the phrase was picked up from
them. 1t is in general use among the
h"tnh in South Africa.

This tract consists of 100 acres, hav-
