Sclaiica Cured After Twenty Years
Torture.

For more than twenty years Mr.. J. B.
Massey, was tortured by sciatica. The
pain and suffering which he endured
during this time is beyond comprehen-
sion Nothing gave him any perma-
nent relief until he used Chamberlain g
Pain Balm. One application Of that
liniment relieved the pain and made
sleep and rest possible, and less than
one bottle has effected permanent
cure, If troubled with sciatiCa or rheu-
matism why not try 25.cent bottle of
Pain Balm and see for yourself how
quickly it relieves the pain. For sale by
