Cause of Lockjaw,

Lockjaw, or ~tetanus, is caused by u
bacillus or germ which exists plentiful
ly in street dirt. 1t is inactive so long
as exposed to the air, bnt when carried
beneath the skin, as in the wounds
caused by percussion caps or by rusty
nails, and when the air is excluded the
germ is reused to activity and produces
the most virulent poison known. These
germs may he 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 antiseptic and causes such injuries
to heal without maturation and in one
third the time required by tho usual
treatment. For sale by all druggists
