N'EEDFiD EVERY DAY. A good liniment, and one that can be relied upon, is nowhere more appreciated than in the country. Scarcely a week passes but some, member ot the family has need of it. Chamberlain's Pain Balm is more widely known than any liniment for cuts, burns and sprains, and it not only gives quick relief, but heals such injuries in about one-laird tho time required by any other treatment. The great power Chamberlain's Pain Balm has over pain is shown in the relief it affords in cases of acute and inflammatory rheumatism. Chamberlain's Pain Balm is also an antiseptic. Sold by all chemists and storekeepers. 9 Moorgate Street, one of tho busiest streets in London, afforded a curious spectacle recently. The gutters were flooded with stout owing to a motorlorry overturning and all the casks of stout it contained bursting.
