p. m., anil were treated in a similar
manner as were their Houston com-
petitors, only in their case the pro-
gram had been cut shorter, because
they did-not stay so long. They
too were met at’the depot by our

thanking the Hallettsville people
for their hospitality and especially
for their offer regarding the Indies.
The visitors were a jolly lot and
appeared to lie having the time of
their lives, ns was evidenced by
their chorus yells: “What’s the
matter with Hallettsville?—It’s all
right!” and “What’s the matter
with th£ Hallettsville ladies?—They
are all right! ” and the like. The

Among the troubles that beset
mankind rheumatism is one of the
most aggravating, “1 suffered
with it for over two years.” says
Mr. Holland Curry, a patrolman, of
Key West, Fla. “Sometimes it
settled in my knees and lamed me
so 1 could hardly walk, at other
times it would be in my feet and
hands so 1 was incapacitated for
duty. One night wlfen I was in
severe pain and lame from it my
wife went to the drug store here
and came back with a bottle of
ChamberIain’s Pain Balm. 1 was
rubbed with it and fouud. the pain
had nearly gone during tho night.
I kept on using it for a little more
than two weeks and found that it
drove the rheumatism away. I
have not had any trouble from that
disease for over three months.”

has very little, if any show of get-

was riding between the tracks on r

and has received good! treatment ai
the hospital. Alo.it three years
ago I worked live months at this
hospital. The boy should have
some help if you are able to give
him assistance. I The hospital has
r ot received a cent and at the
wages he receives it will take him a
long time to pay the debt. He
claims to have had six dollars on
his person when hurt, but the doc-
tor states that he did not have it
when he reached his side, he h&ving
been taken to a near by drug store
One good thing about the matter is
that he was taken to a good hospi-
tal and not to the city hospital,
which is a very unreliable place,
and I think it yery fortunate that
he was not taken there.

Slioojj, Racine, Wis. Troubles of
the Stomach, Heart.or Kidneys, are
merely symptoms of a deeper ail-
ment. Don’t make the common
error of treating symptoms only.
Symptom treatment is treating the
result of your ailment, and not
the cause. Weak Stomach nerves
—the inside nerves—means Stom-
ach weakness, always. And the
Heart, and Kidneys as well, have
their controlling or inside nerves.
Weaken these nerves, and you in-
evitably have weak vital organs,
Here is where Dr. Shoop’s Restora-
tive has made its fame. No other
remedy even claims to treat the
“inside nerves.” Also for bloating,
biliousness, bad breath or complex-
ion, use Dr. Shoop’s Restorative.
