In fact I could only wear my slipper by slitting It along the front. I used Chamberlain's Balm one night and the next day was agreeably surprised to find that I could wear my boot with comfort.” Sold everywhere.

He died the same day without a friend or relative near him. PATENTS THAT PAY. Patents fer small articles usually pay better than those for great schemes, Such simple things as rubber-heels, barbed wire, points of screws, hair-pins, rubber tips to pencils, collar studs, simple toys, have landed the patentees enormous fortunes. Messrs Baldwin and Rayward, whose local representative is Mr J. F. Lillie rap (Hall. Stout and Llllicrap). Esk street, can give you sound advice on any matters pertaining to patents.
