George Schaub, a well known Ger
man citizen OF New Lebanon, Ohio, is
a constant reader of the Dayton volk-
szeitung. He knows that this paper
aims to advertise only the best ia it's
columns, and when he saw Chamber
lain's Pain Balm adve. tised therein
for lame back, he did not hesitate IN
buying a bottle of it for his wife, Who
for eight weeks had suffered with the
most terrible pains in her back and
could get no relief. He says: After
using the Pain Balm for a few days
my wife said to me, Il feel a. though

she could again take up her household
