The Best Plaster.
A piece of flannel dampened with
Chamberlain's Pain Balm and bound
on to the affected parts is superior to
any plaster. When troubled with a
pain in the chest or side, or a Jame
back, give it a trial. You are certain
to be more than pleased with the
prompt relief which it affords. Pain
Balm is also a certain cure for rheumatfsm.

BURIED ALIVE.
A few days ago, a negro named Walter
Harris was cleaning out a well on
Mr. E. L. Glenn's place, near Wallaceville.
The people in the vicinitv heard
a rumbling sound, and going out to
see what caused it, found that the
well had cayed in burying the negro
alive. Every efiort was made to release
the man and save him from a
terrible death, but even t after having
dug to the depth of forty-five feet, he
conld not be fonnd. and he had to be
left to his fate.
ALMOST A FIBE
. Oa Saturday night at about halfpast
one o'clock Mr. Sam McDowell,
who has a room in the upper story of
the GraDite Building was awakened
by thick smoke in his room. He got
up to investigate and found that the
smoke was coming from below, and
going down stairs into Doty & Co.'a
tore found it on fire. The lames bad
not made very great headway and
Mr. McDowell was able to extinguish
them without having to call anyoie to
bis assistance. It was found tnat tne
fire was caused by a lighted cigar
which hsd been carelessly left on one
of the counters. If the fire had not
been discorered just when it was a
serious fiie would hare resulted and
much damage would have been done.

CRITICALLY IIX
Dr. J. R. MeMaster, a prominent
young physician of this place, is lying
in a most critical condition at his home
on Main streei, where everything that
medical skill can do is being done for
him. On Friday night Dr. McMa&ter
was taken sick and it was found by
the attending physicians that h? was
suffering from appendicitis. Dr.
Pryor, of Chestar, was telegraphed for
and came at once. It was decided that
an operaiion would be necessary, and
at 3 a. ra. Saturday Dr. Pryor, assisted
by Drs. Hanahan and Buchanan, of
t&is place, and McDonnell, of Chester,
performed the operation. Alter tne
operation, Dr. McMaster's condition
was very serious, but the physician#
thought that if be rested well for fortyeight
bonrs he would recover; but all
day Sunday hit condition was still
critical. On Monday, however, the
reports were a liitle more encouraging
and his many friends who are very
much distressed at his illness hope sincerely
to bear of continued improvement
in his condition.
The dispensary was closed in order
that Dr. McMaster might have tbe
perfect qniet so necessary, and ropes
bave been stretchai across the street
above and below bis residence to prevent
vehi?*.ie'( from passtrg.

" The excellence of Pabst Malt Extract
is not unknown to me, as I have used it
professionally for years, always with the
most satisfactory results. For mothers
nursing their children and for general
debility from any cause, I regard it as
?f especial value, as it combines both
tonic and nutrient properties, which
make it truly the 'Best' Tonic."
I reeentlyjp^pscr^bed Pabst Malt Extract,
The "Best" Tonic, to three of my
patients, all of whom were ladies, ana
all of v?hom were suffering^frqm dyspepsia
and its consequences, and in all thes?
cases it acted like a charm. Two oi

continued to take it, until HOW they tell
xhe they can eat anything, and On? ol

It is one of the best, if not the very best,

lav it down as an established truth that
internal remedies are positively iajuiious
to expectant mothers. The distress
and discomforts experienced during the
months preceding childbirth can be alleviated
only by external treatment?by
applying a liniment that softens and relaxes
the over-strained muselcs. We
make and sell such a liniment, combining
the ingredients in a m&nnex
hitherto unknown, and call it
Mother s Friend
We know that in thousands of cases
it has proved vmore than a t'.essing to
expectant mothers. It overcomes morning
sickness. It relieves the sense of
tightness. Headaches ceasc, and danger
from Swollen, Hard and Rising
Breasts is avoided. Labor itself isi
