WHAT IS PAIN BALM?

Chamberlain's Pain Balm is a lini-
ment and, while adapted to all the ordi-
nary uses Of a liniment, has qualities
which distinguish it from other rene
dies of this class. Pain Balm is espe-
cially beneficial for rheumatism. Thou
sands Of cases can be cited in which it
has effected a cure when the sufferer
had previously tried the best medical
service without securing relief. Pain
Balm is positively guaranteed to give
relief in the most severe cases Of chron-
lc or acute rheumatism.
Pain Balm heals bruises, burrs and
scalds in less time than any other treat
ment. 1t is ''antiseptic" that is, it pre-
vents putrefaction and by so doing
generally prevents an unsightly scar re,
