GRAIN

During the winter of 1897 Mr.. James
Reed, one of the leading citizens and
merchants of Clay, Clay Co. w. Va,
struck his leg against a cake of ice in
such manner as to bruise itseverely.
1t became very much swollen and
panied him so badly that he could not
walk without the aid of crutches. He
was treated by physicians, also used
several kinds of liniment and two and
a half gallons of whisky in bathing it,
but nothing gave any relief until | be-
gan using Chamberlain's Pain Balm.
This brought almost complete cure
in a weeks time and he believes that
had he not used this remedy his leg
would have had to be amputated. Pain
Balm is unequaled for sprains, bruises
and rheumatism. For sale by DR.. VIM.
