in that institution. He went there
about year ago, aud it appears that
his entire physical system, In SYM
pathy with the cause of his blindness
became affected, and under the
emaciating effect his mental facul'
ties also gave way to some extent
until at intervals he was not con-
scions of his actions. In one of these
clouded moments which occurred
Thursday morning, while in his
room alone, he prepared sheet
taken from his couch, and securely
making it fast to a steam pipe ovei
head in his room, looped one end OF
it about his neck, drew the knot by
the weight If his body while his
knees rested upon the floor and thus
soon expired by strangulation. He
was found dead but IA short tine

About Rheumatism.

There are few diseases that inlet
more torture than rheumatism and
there is probably no disease for
which such varied and useless lot
of remedies have been suggested. 10
say that it can be cured is therefore
n bold statement to make, but CHAM
berlain's Pam 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 10 perman-
ent cures by its use. Why suffer
when Pain Balm affords such quick
relief and costs but IA trifle? For
