The Most Common Sense Of
Suffering

b Rheumatism causes more pain and
suffering than any other disease, for
the reason that it is the most com
mon of all ills, and It is certainly
gratifying to sufferers to know that
Chamberlain's Pain Balm will afford
relief, and make rest and sleep pos
sible, In many cases the relief from
pain, which is at first temporary, has
become permanent, while in old peo'
pie subject to chronic rheumatism,
often brought on by dampness or
changes in the weather, perma-
nent cure cannot be expected; the
relief from pain fhich this liniment
affords is alone worth many times its
