James Rowland OF this village, states
that for twenty-five years his wife has
been a sufferer from rheumatism. A few
nights ago she wal in such pain that she
was nearly crazy. She sent Mr.. Rowland
for the doctor, but he had read of Cham
berlain's Pain Balm and instead of going
for the physician he went to the store and
secured a bottle of it. His wife did not
approve of Mr.. Rowland's purchase at
first, but nevertheless applied the Balm
thoroughly and in an hours time was able
to go to sleep. She now applies it who2-
ever she feels an ache or a pain and iinos
that it always gives relief. He says that
no medicine which she had used even did
her much good. The % and so cent size
