I was suffering from rheumatism
when I was advised to use Chamber¬
lain’s Pain Balm. I now desire to
attest to tiie happy results. A few
applicatiomfof this liniment proved of
great service to me. It subdued the
inflammation and relieved the pain.
Should any sufferer profit by giving
Pain Balm a trial it will please me.—
