PAIN VANISHES IN
A FEW MINUTES
Sloan's Liniment quickly
relieves minor injuries
of all kinds

Why does Sioan's Liniment stop
the pain of your sprained ankle? Be-
cause It draws out Inflammation from
the torn or twisted ligaments, and
stimulates the circulation to remove
the congested blood. Its soothing,
warming value should be applied at
once, as serious injury often follows
failure TO promptly care for a sprain.
Strains differ from sprains in that
muscles and not joints are wrenched.
They stop hurting just as quickly un-
der the comforting application Of
Sloan's Liniment.
The soothing, warming counter-ir-
Sitant action of Sloan's Liniment
gives quick relief TO wrenched joints
or muscles, backache, stiff neck, gout,
ehilblains and other external injuries.
Cleaner than mussy plasters or
ointments, Sloan's Liniment pene-
trates without rubbing. Generous
size bottles at druggists everywhere.

was the mother OF one whose features
are now familiar.
Not Playing For Sentiment.
There is no doubt that Mrs. de
Saulles made an appealing picture.
Her large. dark eyes, shaded by long
curved lashes, gave her face a soft
expression resembling that of a
scared fawn.
She made no apparent attempt to
influence sentiment toward her. She
simply sat silent and Impassive all
day, taking no part in the conduct OF
her defense. offering her attorneys
no suggestions and speaking not a
word TO them until late In the day
when they asked her a question. It
was evident that she was making an
effort to keep herself as unconscious
of her fateful surroundings as pos
sible.
MOthered BY Stranger
No member of her family sat with
her to give support and assurance.
Only the motherly, gray-haired wife
of the sheriff. Mrs. Phineas A. Sea
man, sat with her. A strong affection
has sprung up between the two as the
result OF the almost daily association
during the defendants Incarceration
in the county Jail.
Pallid, distracted, subdued and ST.
lent, Mrs. De Saulles looked for all
the world like a pretty, disobedient
schoolgirl who had been caught In
some infraction OF the rules instead
OF a woman accused of numbering
her own husband.
