ABOUT RHEUMATISM.

There are few diseases that in
f1ict more torture than rheumatism
and there is probably no disease for
which such varied and useless lot
of remedies have been suggested.
TIC say that it can be cured is,
therefore, a bold statement to make,
but Chamberlain's Pain Balm,
which enjoys an extensive sale, has
met with graat success in the treat
menr of this disease. Gne applica-
ton of Pain Balm will relieve the
pain. and hundreds of sufferers
have testified to permanent cures
by its use. Why suffer when Pain
Balm affords such quick relief and
costs but trifle? For sale by Chas
