Why Suffer From Rheumatism.

Why suffer from rheumatism when the
application of Chamberlain's Pain Balm
will relieve the pain? The quick relief
which this liniment affords makes rest
and sleep possible, and that alone is
worth many times the cost. Many who
have used it hoping only for short re-
lief from suffering have been happily
surprised to find that after awhile the
relief became permanent. Mrs. V. H.
Leggett of Yum Yum, Tenn, Z. S. A.,
writes, II am a great sufferer from rheu-
matisnl, all over from head to foot, and
Chamberlain's Pain Balm is the only
thing that will relieve the pain For sale

that the drillers struck merely

that the find is for that reason worth
nothing in itself. However. the find
is of great value for another reason
He says that it confirms his former

for the guaranty because he already
is sure that it is there. The Berren-
