Triumphs Of Modern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the

bones are spliced; pipes take the place
Of diseased sections Of veins; a%ntiseptic
dressings are appliedtO wounds, bruises,
burns and like injuries before infam-
nation sets in, which causes them to
heal without 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 In
iuries, causes them to heal very quick
~. 1t also allays the pain and soreness.
Keep a bottle of Pain Balm in the home
and it will rave you time and money,
not to mention the inconvenience and
suffering which such injuries entail.

Because the liver is

AAD AANNL 10
Q neglected people suffer
with constipation, bilionsness,
headaches and feyers. Colds attack
the lungs and contagious diseases
take hold Of the system. It is safe
to say that If the liver were always
kept in proper working order,
illness would be almost unknown.
Thedfordg Black-Draught is so
successful in curing such sickness
because it is without a rival as a
liver regulator. This great family
medicine is not a strong and
drastic drug, but a mild and
healthful laxative that cures con-
stipation and may be taken by a
mere child without possible
harm.
The healthful action on the liver
cures biliousness. 1t has an in
~vigorating effect on the kidneys.
Because the liver and kidneys do
not work regularly, the poisonous
acids along with the waste from
the bowels get back into the blood
and Yirulent contagion results.
Timely treatment with Thed-
ford's Black-D raught removes the
dangers which Turk in constipation,
liver and kidney troubles, and will
positively forestall the inroads Of
Bright's disease, for which dis
ease In advanced stages there is
no cure. Ask your dealer for q

Draught.

ODD BURIAL CUSTOMS.

The custom of burying without cof-
fms was formerly very prevalent on
the continent. A sheet was the only
covering used.
The feeling in favor OF burying on
the south side of a church is probably
a traditional one, dating back to the
time of sun worship.
The South American negroes have a
queer way Of decorating the graves of
their dead friends. It is the custom
down there to make border around
the grave of the medicine bottles used
during the dead ones last illness.
A very curious Old custom is associ-
ated with intermen1s in. the cemetery
of Labruck; Connemara, Ireland. A
box of pipes-short clays-is brought
with the coffin, and a pipe with tobac-
co is served out to each mourner The
pipes are smoked in silence after the
earth has been filled in and a mound
of stones raised above the grass, the
ashes are solemnly knocked out on the
top and the pipes are broken or left
behind.
