 One foot of the skin is united, and only held together by finger and thumb For every passerby upon the road must drink and each must take his bit of bread and meat from the skewers, that having enjoyed the kindly fruits of the earth, he may wish the bride fertility and go upon his way in pleasant mood

Us. ually the musicians go on foot before the brides carriage, but if they car borrow an extra cart, it is certainly easier to keep time together when ont has not to watch the rocks upon the road, or wade knee deep across the river beds.
 Last comes the bride in bullock cart or two-horse phaeton, shaken but glori- fled. Her head Is dressed in Georgian fashion. Round the top of her head Is a shining black ring, much the same in effect as the ring that Zulu chiefs enweave in their hair. On each side of the face long curls hang down, us. ually false, for they are frankly at. tached to the ring, and form large article of commerce in all Georgian towns.

less, for over six weeks" writes Mrs.
julius Scott, of 1926 Columbia ave-
nue., Cleveland, Ohio. 81 could not
lie on my left side. and my left leg
was swollen and became so much
shorter that had to have Ave lifts put
on my left shoe.
Every winter for a number OF
years | was laid up in this way and
suffered excruciating pain. | tried
everything and all the consolation |
got from people was that sciatica
could not be cured.
After trying everything else, as
last resort | got "a dollar bottle OF
Sloan's Liniment and was amazed
when l found that it gave me relief.
/ used q second bottle and the swell
| ing went out of my leg and it was
only necessary for me to use part
of the third bottle.
/ "Sloan's Liniment has certainly
done wonders for me, and If you wish
to refer to me you can do So" ...
