The ancients believed that rheu-
maIism was the work of a demon
within "a mau. Anyone who has had
an attack Of sciatic Or inflammatOry
rheumatism will agree that the infic-
tiOn is demOniac enough TO warrant
the belief. 1t has never been claimed
that ChambeTlain's Pain Balm would
cast out demons, but it will cure rheu
matism, and hundreds bear testimony
TO the truth of this statement. One
application relieves the pain, and this
quick relief which e affords is alone
worth many times its cost. For sale
by all druggists.
