I have been a very great sufferer from the dreadful disease, rheumatism, fcr a number of years. I have tried many medicines but never g'ot much relief from any of them until two-years ago, when I bought a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm. I found relief before I had used all of one bottle, but kept on applying it and soon felt like a different woman. Through my advice many of my friends have tried it and can tell you how wonderfully it -has worked. Mrs.

Sarah A.Cole, 140 S. New Dover, Del. Chamberlain's Pain Balm is a liniment. The relief from pain which it affords is alone worth many times its cost. It makes rett and sleep possible.
