Stricken with Paralysis.

Henderson Grimett, of this place..
was stricken with partial paralysis
and completely lost the use of one arm
and side. After being treated by an
eminent physician for quite a while
without relief, my wife recommended
Chamberlain's Pain Balm, and after
using two bottles of it he is almost
entirely cured.-Geo. r. Mcdonald,
Man, Logan county, W. Va. Several
other remarkable cures of partial
paralysis have been effected by this
Iiniment. 1t is most widely known,
however, as a cure for rheumatism,
sprains and bruises. Sold by F. A.
Mayo's Drug Store.
