wife has been a sufferer from rheu-

in such pain that she was nearly
crazy. She sent Mr.. Rowland for

Rowland's purchase at first, but
nevertheless applied the Balm
thoroughly and in an hours's time
was able to go to sleep. She now
applies it whenever she feels an
ache or pain and finds that it al
ways gives relief. He says that no
medicine which she had used ever
did her as much good. The 25 and
