About ~eumati

There are few diseases that inflict
more torture than rheumatism. and
there is probably no disease for which
such a varied and useless lot Of rem
edies have been suggested. To say
that it can Ire cured, is. therefore,
a bold statement to make. but Cham.
berlain's Pain Balm, which enjoys an
extensive sale, has met with great
success in the treatment of this dis
ease. One application of Pain Balm
will relieve the pain. and hundreds
of sufferers have testified to perman-
ent cures by its use. Why suffer
when Pain Balm affords such quick
relief and costs but a trife? For

PETER uNKEL SEVERELY INJURED.
Thrown in Front of Wagon and Dragged
Several Feet Before Released.

Peter Cnkel Jr. was severely injured
last Saturday, on the suffer farm
seven miles south of Welsh, when he
was thrown from a wagon load of rice
and almost run over. He was riding
on a wagon loaded with forty sacks of
rice, driving four mules and was
crossing a levee when the jar of the
wagon threw him forward and he fell
into ditch in front of one of the front
wheels. The ditch was full of mud and
although the team kept moving, the
wheel slipped and slid him in front of
it for short distance.
One of the boys grabbed the lines
and stopped the team for moment.
This gave him a chance to throw him.
self clear of the wheels. Although the
wheel did not run oyer him, he was
seriously hurt, his clothes being torn
from his left side, which was badly
bruised. He was brought to Welsh as
soon as possible and taken to thehome
of his brother-in-law, DR.. Arceneaux,
where medical attendance was given
him. His injuries are of very seri-
Gus nature. On Tuesday he was re-
ported as slowly improving, but it
will be several weeks before he will be
able to be out again If he continues to
improve and no new complications de-
velop. His many friends wish him a
speedy and permanent recovery from
his injuries.
