chamberlain's Linlment.

This Is new preparation and a
good one. 1t is especially valuable
as a cure for chronic and muscular
rheumatism, and for the relief from
pain which it affords in acute in
fiammatory rheumatism. Those who
have used it have invariably spoken
of 1t in the highest terms of praise.
Lame back, lame shoulder and stiff
neck are due to rheumatism of the
muscles, usually brought on by ex-
posure to cold or damp, and are
quickly cured by applying this lini-
ment freely and massaging the affect
ed parts. Soreness of the muscles,
whether induced by violent exercise
or injury, is allayed by this liniment.
