About Rheumatism.

There are few diseases that infiict
more torture than rheumatism and
there is probably no disease for which
such a varied and useless lot of
remedies have been suggested. To
say that 1t can be cured is. therefore
a bold statement t. make. but Cham
berlain's Pain Balm, which enjoys
an extensive sale, has met with great
success in the treatment of this dl-
seases. One application of Pain Balm
will relieve the pain, and hundreds
of suffers have testified to permanent
cures by its use. Why suffer when
Pain Balm affords such quick relief
and costs but trifie? For sale by
Engbertson' Pharmacy.

Plant Stru

Strawberries planted IN the
mex, IS days and mulchcd in
January with straw, pine straw,
cotton seed hulls, or leaves will
make a nice crop in April and
May. Plants come a little high
er. but more than pay the diff.
ference in cost. Wet weather
has given them good roots. and
they will grow off before hard
winter freezes.
