The ancients believed (hat rheuma
tism was the work of a demon with
in a man. Any one who has had an
attack of sciatic or inflamatory rheu
matism will agree that the infliction
is demoniac enough to warrant the
belief. It lias never been claimed that
Chamberlain’s Pain Balm would cast
out demons, but it will cure rheu
matism, and hundreds bear testimo
ny to the truth of this statement
One application relieves the pain,and
this quick relief which it affords is
alone worth many times its cost. For
