Cause of Lockjaw.
Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused by a
bacillus or germ which exists plentifully
in street dirt. It is inactive so long as
exposed to the air, but when carried be­
neath the skin as in the wounds caused
by percussion caps or by rusty nails, and
when the air is excluded the germ is
roused to activity and produces the most
virulent poison known. These germs
may be destroyed and all danger of lock­
jaw avoided by applying Chamberlain’s
Pain Balm freely as soon as the injury is
received. Pain Balm is an antiseptic and
causes cuts, bruises and like injuries to
heal without maturation and in one third
the time required by the usual treatment.
It is for sale by City Drug Store.
Teams Wanted.
Teamsters having heavy teams can
have a good paying job logging for the
Iowa Lumber Company.
Miller at the Postoffice hardware store
carries all kinds of miners tools and
supplies and his supplies and prices are
right.
J. W. Opp returned Tuesday from a 10
days trip to Montana in connection with
his mining property here. Mr. Opp
states that business is very good in Mon­
tana and that the mining industry is be­
ing pushed with the greatest activity.
