Some of the most startling, in-b-rstitijr
discoveries of the life and
customs of buried Knypt are now
being made through extensive exca
vattioiiH. These discoveries are
vxciting a great interest. Many
discoveries are, however, being
made in our country that are re
inarkahle, among which we may
mention that of Mailer's I'aiu Para
lyser which effects entire relief, and
in many cases a complete cure of
that terrible disease rheuniat ism,
and which also relieves pain of all
kinds. For sale by all druggists.
