Now Look Out For rheumatism.

The grip has been unusually preva-
lent during the past winter, and In
many cases is likely to be follow ed by
an attack Of muscular rheumatism,
This is the most common variety Of
that disease and least dangerous.
There is no swelling of the joints and
the pain is not SO excruciating as in
acute or infiammatory rheumatism. 1t
is sufficiently severe to disable a man,
however, and every movement increas-
es the pain. Keep as quiet as possible
and apply Chamberlain's Pain Balm
freely with q thorough massage, and
you are certain to get quick relief
This liniment is for sale by Leonard
the druggist.
