convey any idea of what suffered; my
physicians told me t1iGs nothing could be
done for me and my friends were fully
convinced that nothing but death would
relieve me of my suffering. In June,
1894, Mr.. Evans, then salesman for the
Wheeling Drug Company. recommended
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. At this time
my foot and limb were swollen to more
than double their normal size and it
seemed to me my leg would burst, but

the swelling began to decrease, the pain
to leave, and now consider that 1 am
entirely cured" For sale by II. C. Barnes,
