An Ancient Belief.

The ancients believed that rheuma-
tism was the work of a demon within
a man. Any one who has had an at
tack Of sciatic or inflammatory rheu-
matism will agree that the infiiction is
demoniac enough to warrant the be-
lief. 1t has never been claimed that
Chamberlain's Pain Balm would cast
out demons, but it will cure rheuma-
tism. and hundreds bear testimony to
the truth of this statement. One ap-
plication relieves the pain, and this
quick relief which it affords is alone
worth many times its cost. For sa..
