pressed at police headquarters. and it
is possible if not probable that there

was not large. comparatively. there
were several instances where goods of
considerable value was taken. 1t is

which exists throughout the city. but
the fact that burglars have been able
TO continue their operations until a

the residences are taken in row and

Wounds, Bruises and Burns.

BY applying an antiseptic dressing
to wounds, bruises. burns and like in
juries before inflammation sets in, they
may be healed without maturation and
in about one-third the time required
for the old treatment. This is the
greatest discovery and triumph of
modern surgery. Chamberlain Pain
Balm acts on this same principle. 1t
is an antiseptic and when applied to
such injuries, causes them TO heal
very quickly. 1t also allays the pain
and soreness and prevents any danger
of blood poisoning. Keep a bottle of
Pain Balm in your home and it will
save you time and money, not to men,
ton the Inconvenience and suffering
such injuries entail. For sale by all
leading druggists.
