Triumphs of Modern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished and
put back, or they may be removed en-
tirely; bones are spliced; pipes take the
place of diseased sections of veins; an
tiseptic dressings are applied to wounds,
bruises, burns and like injuries before
inflammation sets in which causes them
to heal without maturatiOn and in one
third the time required by the old treat
ment, ChambeTlain's Pain Balm acts on
this same principle. 1t is an antiseptic
and when applied to such injuries, caus-
es them to heal very quickly. 1t also
allays the pain and soreness. Keep a
bottle OF Pain Balm in your home and it
will save you time and money, not to
mention the Inconvenience and suffer
ing which such injuries entail. For
