NOn-Fatal Injuries Quite Common.
In a booklet published by the Aetna
Life Insurance Co., we find the fol-
lowing item: "a valuable statistics
prove that last year in the United
States II, 100000 people received nom
fatal injuries" This must include
slight injuries not sufficiently serious
to require the attention of a surgeon.
People should be prepared to treat in
juries of this character themselves,
for most of them all that is needed is
a bottle of Chamberlain's Liniment. 1t
is excellent for sprains and bruises,
also to relieve rheumatic pains. adv.
