There is one medicine which every

There is one medicine which every
family should be provided with. We
refer to Chamberlain's Pain Balm
When it is kept at hand the severe pain
OF burn or scald may be promtly
relieved and the sore healed in much
less time than when medicine has to be
sent for. A sprain may be promptly
treated before inflammation sets in,
which insures a cure in about one
third the time otherwise required -
Cuts and bruises should receive i'm
mediate attention, before the parts
become swollen, and when Chamber
lain's Pain Balm is applied it will heal
them without matter being formed,
and without leaving scar. A sore
throat may be cured in one night. A
piece of flannel dampened with this
liniment and bound on over the seat
of pain, will cure lame back or pain
in the side or chest in "a hours. It is
the most valuable, however, for rheu.
matism. Persons afflicted with this
disease will be delighted with the
prompt relief from pain which it af
fords, and it can be depended upon
to effect complete cure. For sale
