Rheumatic Pains.
I have been a very great sufferer
from the dreadful disease, rheuma
tism, for a number of years. I
have tried many medicines but
1 never got much relief from any of
them until two years ago, when I
bought n 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
ttied it and can tell you how won
derfully it has worked. Mrs. Sara
A. Cole, 140 S. New St., Dover,

which it nffords is nlonc worth
many times its cost. It makes rest
and sleep possible. For sale by
