An Ancient Belief.

The ancients believed that rheuma-
tism was the work of demon within a
man. Any one who has had an attack
ofseiatic or iDfamatory rheumatism will
agree that the iufllction is demoniac
enough to warrant toe belief. 1t has
never been claimed that Chamberlain
Pain Balm would cast out demons, but
it will cure rheumatism, and hundreds
bear testimony to the truth of this
statement. One application relieves the
pain, and this quick relief which it
affords ia alone worth many times its
cost. For sale by all druggists.
