Former New England Woman
Making Home in California

From her home at 2I2S East Colorado
street Lamanda Park. California Mrs
E. y. Leonard. who has many friends
throughout New England writes an in
tcresting letter regarding her experiences
with pain. In her letter she ordered one
dozen bottles of Mysterious Pain Ease,
so-called, and says: Il have used it in
the East and l feel / cannot be without
it. | have a friend who has 4 lame
knee. | put some Mysterious Pain Ease
on it two or three times. She was so
much better from this that we want
plenty of Mysterious Pain Ease on hand.
1t is the most valuable liniment L ever
used"
This Mysterious Pain Ease mentioned
i'm Mrs. l4eonardS letter is Scotch Lin
imcnt. 1t acts in such a way that it
relieves inflammation which causes pain.
In fact when they first started to use it.
its effects were so quick in the relief of
pain that people really thought there
was something mysterious about 1t.
Hence its name, given it by the thous-
ands of people whose pains it has re-
lieved.
Many people both men and women,
in all walks of life, heartily endorse it.
They recommend it for pains of neural
gia. neuritis. sciatica, muscle cramps,
chilblains. and pains arising from in
Examinations. rheumatism, sprains OF all
kinds, lumbago, burns, stiff neck, and
muscular colds where the shoulders,
chest and back muscles are in pain.
Mysterious Pain Ease is sold by most
leading druggists. ANY druggist can OBJ
tain it from his jobber.-Adv.

women are helpless as they cannot pos
sibly take control of machine politics
way from the men of long training in this
line. The Vermont senate has now voted
to repeal the primary law and will try to
induce the house to follow suit. 1t is one
of the most disquieting blunders of reac-
tionary policy made by men of personal
honor and high character who fail to rec
ognize the inevitable changes which the
years bring. The primary system is far
from perfect, but it does make every voter
a shareholder in the political and govern
mental affairs of the state. Without the
primary the business goes back into the
hands of little groups. many of them sell
fish and some of them Yeual, which are
found in almost every town.
