WOUNDS. Bruises and Burns.

By applying an antiseptic dressing
to wounds, bruises, burns and like in
iuries before inflammation sets in, they
may be healed without maturation and
in about one-third the time required
for the cid treatment This is the
greatest discovery and triumph of
modern surgery. Chamberlain's 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,

such injuries entail. For sale by all
leading druggists.

ent Men Who Will Be in Rock

are very strong men one is Hon. !.
A. Filcher of Sacramento. secretary of
the California state board of agricnl-
ture. and a man that has had much 20
do with the successful management OF
national and international eXpositions.
The California farmers are certainly
sitting up and taking notice Of the ses-
siOns of the Farmers National con-
gress in Rock Island when they send
the secretary of their state board OF
agriculture to attend il. The other del
egate mentioned by Governor Pardee
as among those that will certainly BE-

Professor w. +. Massey. for so many
years at the head Of the North Carolina
