CAUSE OF LOCKJAW.

Lockjaw, or tetnus, is caused by
a bai]lus or germ which exists plen'
titully in street dirt. It is inactive
80 long as exposed to the air, but
when carried beneath the skin as in
wounds caused by percussion caps
or by rusty nails, and when the all
is excluded the germ Is reused to
activity and produces the most vir-
ulent poison known. These germs
may be destroyed and all danger Of
lockjaw avoided by applying Cham
berlain's Pain Balm freely as soon
as the injury is received. Pain
Balm is an antioeptic and causes
cuts, bruises and like injuries to
heal without maturation and in one
third the time required by the usual
treatment. 1t is for sale by FIN.
