flannel with Chamberlain's Pain Balm;
and bind it on over the seat of pain. it is
better than any plaster. When the lungs
are sore such an application on the chest
and another on the back, between the
shoulder blades, will often prevent pneu-

The two greatest sconrges Of man
kiad + according to DR.. Lander Brunton,
are generally supposed to be phtbisis
and rheumatism, but we are told by this
eminent authority that If any physician
were asked which is the worse Of the two
be would probably decide for rheumar
tisn. IL not only leads to as many
deaths as phthisis, directly or indirectly,
but causes vast amount Of loss Of time
and power and immense pain. The
rheumatic tendency shows itself In 2
great many other disorders, such as in
digestion and headaches. II produces
not merely pains in the joints, but m
fiammation Of the Serious membrane, and
leads to the formation Of 'clots o.
fibrons masses in the heart, which, DO
coming detached, are liable to be CARRIED
to the brain and cause paralysis. Dr.
Brnnton stated that the old fear Of caus-
ing serious damage to patients whose
hearts are weak by abruptly checking ths
main is now much diminished. This Y
owing to the discovery that the vel
known remedy, salicylic acid, may p
