James Reed Injured.

Mr.. James Reed struck his leg against
a cake of ice in such a manner as to
bruise it severely. I became very much
swollen and panied him so badly that he
could not walk without the aid Of
clutches. He was treated by physicians,
also used several kinds of hniment and
two and half gallons of whisky in bath
ing it, but nothing gave any relief until
he began using Chamberlain Pain
Balm. This brought almost a complete
cure in q weeks time and he believes
that had he not used this remedy his leg
would have had to be amputated. Mr.
Reed is one of the leading merchants OF
Clay Court House, w. Va. Pain Balm
is unequaled for sprains, bruises and
rheumatism.
