Tri6mphs of Modern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are tax
en- out and scraped and polished and
put back, or they may be removed en-
tirely; bones are spliced; pipes take
the place Of diseased sections OF veins;
antiseptic dressings are applied to
wounds, bruises, burns and like injuries
before Inflammation sets in, which
causes them to heal without matura-
tion and in one-third the time required
by the old treatment. Chamberlain's
Pain Balm acts on this same principle.
1t is an antiseptic and when applied to
such injuries, causes them to heal very
quickly. 1t also allays the pain and
soreness. Keep a bottle Of Pain Balm
in your home and it will save you time
and money, not to mention the incon-
venience and suffering which such in

Losses from Forest Fires.

The department of agriculture re-
ports that forest fires In the Adlron-
dacks between April 20 and June
last year caused losses amounting to
50. SOC. 900. Fires IN the western for
est reserves did vastly more damage
than this. but no doubt the destruction
IS lessened by the activity Of rangers
and government employees. The
sheepmen claim that the chance OF IRE
spreading in the forests Is not near
" so great where the sheep keep the
tall grass and underground eaten
down. and no doubt the assertion Is
true. Sometimes fire is attributed
to the carelessness Of some herder,

would deprive him OF grass for his
