Object to Strong Medicines.

Many people object to taking the
strong medicines usually prescribed
by physicians for rheumatism. There
is no need of internal treatment in
any case of muscular or chronic rheu-
matism. and more than nine out of
every ten cases of the disease are of
one or the other of these varieties.
When there is no fever and little (if
any swelling, you may know that it
is only necessary to apply Chamber

lief. Try it. For sale by all drug

WORTH KNOWING.
Simple Remedy That Any One Can
Prepare at Home.

Most people are more or less sub
ject to coughs and colds. A simple
remedy that will break up cold
quickly and cure any cough that is
durable is made by mixing two ounc-
es of Glycerine, half ounce of Vir-
gin Oil of Pine compound and eight
ounces of pure Whisky. You can get
these in any good drug store and
easily mix them in a large bottle. The
mixture is. highly recommended by the
Leach Chemical Co., of Cincinnati
who prepare the genuine Virgin Oil
of Pine compound pure for dispens-
ing.
