stsppsd Aralns, = Hot stove.

A child of Mrs. George T. Benson,
when getting his usual Sunday night
bath, stepped back against hot
stove which burned him severely.
The child was in great agony and his
mother could do nothing to pacify
him. Remembering that she had a
bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm in
the house, she thought she would try
it. In less than half an hour after
applying it the child was quiet and
asleep, and in less than two weeks
was well. Mrs. Benson is a well
known resident of Kellar, Va. Pain
Balm is an antiseptic liniment and
especially valuable for burns, cuts,
bruises and sprains. For sale by all
druggists.
