Triumphs of rlodern SURGERY.

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished
and are put back, or they may be re-
moved entirely; bones are spliced;
pipes take the place of diseased sec
tions of veins; antiseptic dressings are
applied to wounds, bruises, burns and
like injuries before Inflammation sets
in, which causes them to heal with
out maturation 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 bottle of Pain Balm in your
home and it will save you time and
money, not to mention the inconven-
fence and suffering which such injur-
les entail. For sale by Nick Dofing

Obituary.

Samuel Virgil Crane, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Noah E. Crane, was born at
Extra, July "a, 1901 and died at the
parental home two miles south of
Hamlin, on June II, 1904, aged -
years, 10 months, % days. He has
been more or less IN invalid since
childhood from valvular affection of
the heart, later developing into drop
sy of the heart which caused his
death. He was administered to with
loving hands and received careful
nursing and the best attention from
the family physician but when in
February he became so much worse,
it was seen that the end was surely
approaching, but it was not until
Sunday, June 18th when he was TAX
en- worse, it was seen that the final
summons was almost at hand. On
Friday the icy hand of death entered
the household and plucked the youth
full spirit from its weak tenement of
clay, to dwell in the realm of an end
less eternity.
The funeral was held from the
house on Saturday, June IS, at 2
o'clock p. m. and was conducted by
Elder Mccormick of the Christian
church at Audubon. After the fun
eral the remains were followed by a
large number of relatives and sympa-
thizing friends and neighbors, to the
Extra cemetery, and laid to rest be-
side those who had gone before.
