feeling of gladness and thankfulness
that the horrors that are engulfing

We may be thankful that we have

mingle that joy with compassion for
the stricken ones of other lands, to

mockery and an agonizing delusion.

the country than all other diseases put to-

incurable. Doctors prescribed local remedies
and by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable. Catarrh
is a local disease, greatly influenced by con-

constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh

Rheumatism after
His Day. Outing
Hunting Trip on a Wet Day Brings
Painful Results.

Once upon time Charles Mullen
of Philadelphia went cunning. 1t
was dismal, rainy day, and long ex-
posture to cold and wet brought on a
severe attack of rheumatism. He
was confined to his home.
A friend recommended Sloan's Lini-
ment, citing his own case as evidence
of it's effectiveness. Mullen bought a
bottle and applied it to his aching
limbs. Soon improvement was no
ticed and he was able to return to
business.
Mr.. Mullen writes: "Since that ex-
perience I have never been without
Sloan's Liniment in the medicine
chest" You will find it soothes
bruises, sprains, toothache and re
lieves lame back, neuralgia, in fact
all external pains. At all druggists,

Endorsed at Home
Such Proof as This Should Convince
Any Barton Citizen.

The public endorsement of a local
citizen is the best proof that can be
produced. None better, none stronger
can be had. When man comes for
ward and testifies to his fellow-citi-
zens, addresses his friends and neigh
bors, you may be sure he is thorough
ly convinced or he would not do So.
Telling ones experiencewhen it is for
the public good is an act of kindness
that should be appreciated. The fol-
lowing statement given by a resident
of Barton adds one more to the many
cases of Home Endorsement which
are being published about Doan's
