Every Man His Own Doctor.

The average man cannot afford to
employ a physician for every slight all
ment or injury that may occur in his
family nor can he afford to neglect
them, as so slight an injury as the
scratch of a pin has been known to
cause the loss of limb. Hence every
man must from necessity be his own
doctor for this class of ailments. Sue
cess often depends upon prompt treat
ment. which can only be had when
suitable medicines are kept at hand.
Chamberlain remedies have been in
the market for many years and enjoy a
good reputation.

MAKING BOOSTER
JEWELRY.
A very public spirited and pretty
idea is evidenced by the number
of women who are having US
make pins and brooches of the
Booster Buttons. Some of them
prefer them with the Roman
gold finish, and as we do all this
work in our own shop, we can
promise very prompt service.
And perhaps they give this
store the preference because of
its enterprisine management,
thus giving added force to the
Booster idea.
