There are fow diseases that intliot more torture than rheumatism and there is probably no disease for which such a varied and useless lot of remedies have been suggested. To say that it can be oured is, therefore, a bold statement to make, but Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which onjoys an extensivo sale, has mot with great success in the treatment of this disease. One application of Pain Balm will relieve the pain, and hundreds of sufferers have testified to permanent cures by its use. Why suffer when Pain Balm affords suob quick relief and costs but a trifle?

Mr. and Mrs. M. E. Ruthrauff, who re cently leased the Blue Ridge Mineral Springs Hotel from J. C. Shockley, be gan last Monday to propare for extensive improvements in the arrangement of the house and grounds. Tho hotel is now open for the reoeption and entertainment of guests, but the formal opening as a summer hotel will not take place until June 1st, by wbioh time the whole house will have been thoroughly renovated and numerous, interior ohanges completed, and the hotel grounds proper, as well as the grove in wbioh the springs are lo cated, will have boon beautified with walks and flowera. The ohanges pro posed by the new managers will add greatly to the attractiveness of this al ready delightful plaoe. One of the most important ohanges proposed is the oonverting of the property in front of the hotel into a park. The L. M. Brown Lumber Com pany at present bas its plant to the front of the hotel property, but as soon as Mr. Brown oan move his plant to his new lo cation at the Keilor place, the work of transforming thia grove into a park will be begun. This will give the hotel a much larger area of ground, extending from the hotel to the station on the Blue Ridge Railway. Mr. and Mrs. Ruthrauff are pleased with the hotel, with our people and with the oouotry and anticipate a good pa tronage from the lowor part of the State from the first of June. They not only have applications for accommodation from that dato, but have a number of guests booked already from Columbia. They are determined to make the place a most, attractive one for seekers after rest and health, aud we hope they will meet with tho success their efforts merit. They will add to tho place many new features, suoh as tennis and other OUt-door amusements. Wo hope that an extra effort will be made on the part of others to attract our friends from the lower part of this State and the crowded oities of Georgia to this section. With the splendid ad vantages of Walhalla and West Union as summer resorts there is no reason why our two towns should not be orowded eaoh year with visitors. .The one thing neoded is preparation for the entertain ment of guests. Walhalla ought by all means to have a large modern hotel building that would appeal to the sum mer pleasure seoker. There is plenty of room and abundant attractions to draw a patronage that would justify its erect ion. Rheumatic Pains Quickly Relieved. ' The excruciating pains oharaoteristio of rheumatism and sciatica are quickly relieved by applying Chamberlain's Pain Balm.
