only about half as many in his writ

about 5000 words; an ordinary person
uses from 1000 to 5000 words. This
would indicate that the 900. 900 words
or the English language include good
many that are seldom employed except

This is a new preparation and a
good one. 1t is especially valuable as
a cure for chronic and muscular rheu;
matism, and for the relief from pain
which it affords in acute inflammatory
rheumatism. Those who have used it
have invariably spoken of it in the
highest terms of praise. Lame back,
lame shoulder and stiff neck are due
to rheumatism of the muscles, usually
brought on by exposure to cold or
damp, and are quickly cured by ap.
plying this liniment freely and mas,

of the muscles, whether induced by
violent exercise or injury, is allayed
by this liniment. For sale by Brat,
