CAUSE OF LOCKJAW,

Lockjaw, or tetanuS. is caused by { bacillus or germ which exists plenti fully in street dirt. It is enactive SC long as exposed to the air, but wher carried beneath the skin, as in the wounds caused by percussion caps ol by rusty nails, and when the air is ex. cluded the germ is reused to activity and produces the most virulent poison known. These germs may be destroyed and all danger of lockjaw avoided by applying Chamberlain'S Pain B&m freely as soon. as the injury is received
 Pain Balm is an antiseptic and causes cuts, bruises and like injuries to heal without maturation and in one-third the time required by the usual treat. ment. It is for sale by R. H.

If there was anything we could recommend as strongly as we do Ames, rest assured we would do so. But there isn't an- other remedy in this wide world that will do the work as we'll. The cures Dr Ames' Specific effects are perma- nent, and the pellets being so small and the cure so pleasant adds Inn mensely to it's worth. You don't have to keep on taking Ames' Specific ever
 lastingly. You can reduce the dose after few days and gradually the stomach and bowels become normal under it's influence. If you are both cred to digest your food or your bowels are constipated don't put off securing a supply. We are selling full-sized soc packages for 25c now, and guaranteeing cure or the money back. There couldn't be anything ,fairer than this offer could there? The doctor writes us that he will back us up in this guar antee-a cure or money back. This is a departure on the doctors part, as he has insisted heretofore on the guaran
