First soak the corn or bunion in warm water to soften it; then pare it down as closely as possible without drawing blood and apply Chamberlain's Pain Balm twice daily, rubbing vigorously for five minutes at each application. A corn plaster should be worn a few days to protect it from the shoe. As a gen­ eral liniment for sprains, bruises, lame­ ness and rhenmatism, Pain Balm is un- equaled. For sale by all druggists.

The funeral was held from the Volo Catholic church Wednes­ day morning. The family has the sym­ pathy of their many friends in their sor­ row. ,L A Judicious Inquiry. • well-known travelling man visits the drug trade says he has often heard druggists inquire of customers who asked for a cough medicine, wheth­ er it was wanted for a child or an adult, and if for a child theyalmo-t invariably recommend Chamberlain's Cough Rem­ edy. The reason for this is that they know that there is no danger from it and that it always cures. There is not the least danger in giving it and for coughs, colds and croup it is unsur­ passed. For sale by all druggists. The Difference in Cost •4. between a good and a poor baking powder would not amount for a family's supply to one dollar a year. The poor powder would cause doctors' bills many times this. Dr. PRICE'S cream Baking Powder is the most economical in the end, be­ cause it goes further in leavening and insures perfect, wholesome food. When ordering of the grocer always call for Div Price's Cream Baking Pow­ der by name for good health and good food. It makes the finest cake, pud­ dings, flapjacks, biscuits and bread. RIDUEFIKI.1I.

There never was a better opportunity for persons suffering from diseases of the heart, nerves, liver, stomach and kidneys to test, free, a remarkably suc­ cessful Treatment for their .disorders. Dr. Miles is known to be a leading spe­ cialist in these diseases and his liberal offer is certainly 'worthy of serious con­ sideration by the afflicted reader. This opportunity may never occumagain. His system of Personal Treatment is thoroughly scientific and immensely su­ perior to the other methods. It in­ cludes several new remedies carefully selected to suit each individual case and is the final result of twenty-five years of very extensive research and great suc­ cess iu treatiug these diseases. Each treatment consists of a curative elixir, tonic tablets* eliminating pills and usually a plaster. Extensive sta­ tistics clearly demonstrate that Dr. Miles' Personal Treatment is at least three times as successful as the usual treatment of physicians or general rem- idies sold at the stores. Col. E. B. Spilomau of Miodth United States Regulars, loi'ulod ;it. Sau Dlefto, Ctil. says, "Dr. Miles' Special Treatment has worked wonders in my son's case wlien all else failed.

Healthy digestion means pure blood for the body, but stomach troubles arise from carelessness in eating and stomach disorders upset the entire system.
