OBITUARY.
To the memory of Sid H.

He was a good citizen and a
true neighbor and always on the
right side of everything. He,

i tion which a true husband and
I affectionate father could feel for
'■ his family in his wisdom saw lit,
' secured a policy of $1,000.00 in

A Cure foi Lumbago.
W. C. Williamson, of Amherst,
Va„ says: “For more than a
year I suffered from lumbago. I
finally tried Chamberlain’s Pain
Balm and it gave me entire relief
which all other remedies had
failed to do.” For sale by Dr. J.
B. Neal of McCrory and A. S.
Thomson of Deview, Arkansas.
A Good Reccomraendation.
“I have noticed that the sale on
Chamberlain’s Stomach & Liver
Tablets is almost invariably to
those who have once used them, ”
says Mr. J. H. Weber, a promi
nent druggist of Cascade, Iowa.
What better recommendation
could any medicine have than for
people to call for it when again in
need of such a remedy? Try them
when you feel dull after eating,
when you have a bad tast in your
mouth, feel billious, have no ap
petite or when troubled with
constipation and you are certain
to be delighted with the prompt
relief which they afford. For
j sale by Dr. J. B. Neal of MeCro
ry and A. S. Thompson of De
View. Arkansas.
REMARKABLE CURE OF CROUP.
A Little Boy's Life Saved.
I have a few words to say re
garding Chamberlain.s Cough
Remedy. It saved my little boy’s
life and I feel that I cannot
praise it enough. I bought a
bottle of it from A. E. Steere of
I Goodwin, S. D., and when I got
home with it the poor baby could
hardly breathe. I gave the med
icine as directed every ten min
i utes until he “threw up” and
I then I thought sure he was go
ing to choke to death. We had
to pull the phlegm out of his
mouth in great long strings. I
am positive that if I had not got
' that bottle of cough medicine,
; my boy would not be on earth to
i day.—Joel Demont, Inwood,
! Iowa. Sold by Dr. J. B. Neal of
