Triumphs of Modern surgery

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out aud scraped and polished
anu put back, or they may be removed
entirely; bones are spliced; pipes take
the place of diseased sections of veins;
antisecptic dressings are applied to
wounds, bruises, burns and like injur-
les before inf animation sets in, which
causes them to heal without matura-
ton and in one-thrd the time required
Dy the old treatment. Chamberlain's
Pain Balm acts on this same principle.
1t is an anticeptic 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
inconvenience and suffering which
such injuries entail. For sale by all
druggists.

According to press dispatches, the

The insurance company allowed the
church $1, 800 for repairs, but the
church found that the repairs costonly

$500. And why not? That the Incl
dent should excite attention shows the
low state of public conscience. "The
principles of right and wrong are
easily discerned," says Jefferson,

counsellors. That is true. It is not
lack of intelligence, but lack of con-
science that causes the most alarm to-

in politics, and corruption of govern

namely: Indifference to moral obliga-
tons. The Hobart church has done
