Spring

Spring is looked upon by many as
the most delightful season of the year,
but this cannot be said of the rheu-
matte. The cold and damp weather
brings on rheumatic pains which are
anything but pleasant. They can be
relieved, however, by applying Cham
berlain's Liniment. Obtainable every
where.
