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.
