"My mother has been a sufferer for many years from rheumatism, says w. H. Howard of Husband. Pennsyl- vania. At times she was unable to move at all, while at all times walking
 was painful. I presented her with a bottle of Chamberl&in's Pain Balm and after a few applications che decided it was themost wonderful pain reliever she hadever tried, in fact. she is nev- able to walk. An occasional applica-

Among the papers which copied the notice was the New York Evening Post of November 29, 1919, and guest of one of the New York hotels read the notice aloud in room where several other men had gathered. Among them was Tabor Chadwick of Shrewsbury, N. J.. and MT Whelpley of Man chester, Vt. Chadwick became inter- ested, said his brother-in-law in New Jersey employed man answering Col vin's description, and asked Whelpley more about him and the crime. Re turning home Chadwick looked up the man, questioned him, found that he had come from Manchester, and that hesanswered all descriptions. The re- suit was to send Whelpley to New Jer- Sey, where he saw the supposed Colvin, and immediately recognized him be- yOnd any doubt.
