Cause of LockjaW.

Lockjaw or tetanus is caused by a
bacillus or germ which exists plenti-
fully in street dirt. 1t is inactive so
long as exposed to the air, but when
carried beneath the skin as in the
wounds caused by percussion caps
or rusty nails, and when the air is
excluded the germ is reused to activ-
ity and produces the most virulent
poison known. These germs may be
destroyed and all danger of lockjaw
avoided by applying Chamberlain 9
Pain Balm freely as soon as the IN
jury is received. Pain Balm is an
antiseptic and causes cuts, bruises
and like injuries to heal without ma
duration and in one-third the time re-
quired by the usual treatment. 1t Is
for sale by all druggists.

OSASu 'S''~Sy
No one who is acquainted with its
good qualities can be surprised al
the great popularity of Chamberlaln's
Cough Remedy. 1t o only cures
colds and grip effectually and perm
anently, but prevents these diseases
from resulting in pneumonia. 1t is
also a certain cure for Group. Whoop-
ing cough is not dangerous when
this remedy is given. 1t contains no
opium or other harmful substance
and may be given as confidently to a
baby as to an adult. 1t is also pleas
ant to take. When all of these facus
are taken into consideration it is not
surprising that people in foreign
lands, as well as at home, esteem
this remedy very highly and very few
are willing to take any other after
having once used it. For sale by all
druggists.
