SCIATIC RHEUMATISM
CURED AFTER FOURTEEN YEARS
OF SUFFERING.
"I have been afflicted with sci
atic rheumatism for fourteen
years," says John Edgar, of
Germantown, Cal. "I was able
to be around but constantly suf
fered. I tried everything I could
hear of and at last was told to
try Chamberlain's Pain Balm,
which I did and was immediately
relieved and in a short time cured
and I am happy to say it has not
since returned." Why not use
this liniment and get well? It is

One of the attractions in a New
Orleans theater this week is a
decided novelty, just from the
London musio halls. It is the act
of Mile- Chester's $10,000 statue
dog. The animal is a beautiful
snow white setter, so traintd that
he poses in living picture style,
under a strong lime light, against
a dark background. The poses
resemble statuary, and are said
to be perfect in every way.
Nothing of the sort haa ever been
put on the stage beforp. ,
WHOOPING COUGH.
A woman who has had experi
ence with this disease, tells how
to prevent any dangerous conse
quences from it. She says: Our
three children took whoopinjr
cough last summer, our baby boy
iing only three months old. and
owing to our giving them Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, they
lost none of their plumpness and
t-arac out in much better health
than other children whose pa
rents did not use this remedy.
Our oldest little girl would call
lustily for cough syrup between
whoops. JESSUt PlNKKKY HaUU
