The first use OF muskets In Europe
was at the siege of Rhege in 1881 by
the Spanish soldiers. These arms were
30 extremely heavy that they could not
be used without rest. They were
provided with matchlocks and were ef-
fective at considerable distance.
While on the march the soldiers them
selves carried only the ammunition and
the rests, and boys bearing the muskets
followed after, like caddies on a golf
course.
Loading these cumbersome arms was
a slow operation. They were clumsy
and awkward to handle. The bali and
powder were carried separately, and
the preparation aud adjustment Of the
match took long time.
Before long, however Improvements
began TO be made. The guns BECAME

carried their ammunition 10. broad

RELIEVES ALL LAME BACKS.
No Sufferer Of Kidney or Bladder TrOu-
bles OF Rheumatism Should Leave 1t
Untried--Is Easily Mixed at Home
and Absolutely Harmless.

That the readers of this paper appre-
ciate advice when given In good faith is
plainly demonstrated BY the fact that
one well known local pharmacy filled
the vegetable prescription many
times within the past two weeks. Most
Of these folks naturally bought the IN
gradients only and mixed them at home.
The announcement of this simple, harm
less mixture has certainly accomplished
much in reducing the great many cases
Of kidney complaint and rheumatism
here, relieving pain and misery, espe-
cially among the older population, who
are always suffering more or less with
bladder and urinary troubles, backache
and particularly rheumatism.
Another well known druggist asks us
to continue the announcement of the
prescription. 1t is doing so much real
good here, he continues, that it would
be a crime not to do so. 1t cannot be
repeated too often, and further states
many cases of remarkable cures
wrought.
The following is the prescription, OF
vegetable ingredients, making a harm
less and inexpensive compound, which
any person can prepare by shaking vel
in a bottle: Fluid Extract Dandelion,
one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one
ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla,
three ounces. Any first-class drug store
will sell this small amount Of each ingre,
dent and the dose for adults Is one tea.
spoonful to be taken after each mea
and again at bedtime. There is enough
here to last for one week, if taken al

be apparent from the first.
