at $20, worth $25. A. R. Smith will

Champion Liniment For Rheumatism.
Chas. Drake, a mail carrier at Chap-
inville, Conn., says : "Chamberlain's
Pain Bahn is the champllin of all lini-
ments. The past year I was troubled
a great deal with rheumatism its my
shoulder. After trying several cures
the storekeeper here recommended
this remedy and it completely cured
me." There is no use of anyone Buf-
fering front that painful ailment when
this liniment can be obtained for a
small sum. One application gives
prompt relief and its continued use
for a short time will produce a per-
manent cure. For sale by A. I. Mc-

Man's Most Critical Age.
Very often the vital resources are
small at forty-two, but if not then, be-
tween fifty-seven and sixty-two years
of age there is a strange slowing down
and loss of vitality. It is important
that this transient period of decay
should be checked ; strength roust be
imparted to the tired brain, the weak-
ened nerves roust be fortified. The
wise man will use Ferrozone whose
potency is particularly applicable to
these critical periods. Ferrozone
quickens the whole being, imparts
vigor and power, pushes back the on-
set of eenility in a very manifest way.
It's because Ferrozone gives strength,
vitality and vigor that it is useful to
old )nen. Try it. Price 50c.
