The mining of cryolite, or "Ice that never melts." ns the Eskimos call It, Is the chief Industry of Greenland.

Small quan tities of cryolite have lieon found at Minsk, In the T'ral mountains, nnd a traco was found at Tike's peak. In Colorado. The man who reported the find at Tike's peak to a capitalist was Informed that If he could produce a ton he could secure $1."0 fur It. The mon ey was never paid.

Is not only performing wonderful cures, as the following statements will prove, but all the cures have been permanent, there being no return of the disease or any of the symptoms even after a lapse of many years. I was bloated and short of breath, making it very laborious for me to walk. I suffered pain in my back and sides. My stomach was also very sore and throbbed with pain. I was told I had kidney trouble and enlargement of the liver and spleen. I finally began ti.ing Thompson's Harosnia and the first bottle reduced the measurement around my stomach from forty Inches to thirty-six inches, and several bottles completely cured me. I gladly recom mend It to others. This was five years ago. M. S. LANG'vVrjRTHY, Tryon villo, Ta E. O. Owen, a prominent resident of Troy Centre, Pa writes: "Ever since I an rememher, for 20 years or more, my back troubled me, caused by Inflam mation of my stomach and liver first, then my kidneys became Involved. At times the pain became excruciating. Having used a laile number of so-called cures, I finally found a complrte cure In Thompson's liarosma, several bottles reducing all Inflammation and conse quently curing the pain. Thanks to Rarsoma, I have been perfectly well for two years. My wife's health has great ly Improved by taking Barosma. She has gained in weight and the yellow tint to her skin has been replaced by a fresher and healthier color." All druggists. 50c and fl. Low-Rate Excursion to Buffalo and Niagara Falls, via P. It. K.
