Triumphs Of Modern Surgery.

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 remov-
ed entirely; bones are spliced; pipes
take the place Of diseased sections Of
veins; antiseptic dressings are ap-
piled to wounds, bruises, burns and
like injuries before inflammation sets
in, which causes them to heal without
maturation and in one-third Of the
time required by the cd treatment.
Chamberlain IS Pain Balm acts on this
same principle. It is an antiseptic
and when applied to such injuries,
causes them to heal very quickly. 1t
also allays the pain and soreness.
Keep a bottle of Balm Balm in your
home and it will save you time and
money, not to mention the inconve-
nience and suffering which such in
juries entail. For sale by A. G. Luz
