Trlaapks •( Mritn ivofi Wonderful things are done for the human body by surgery. Or gans are taken out and scraped and polished and put back, or they may be removed entirely; bones are spliced; pipes take the place of di* seased sections of veins; antiseptic dressings are applied to wounds, bruises, burns and like iujuries be fore inflammation sets in, which causes tbem to heal without matu ration and in one-third the time re quired by the old treatment. Cham berlain Pain Balm acts on this same principle. It is an anViseptic and when applied to such injuries., causes them to heat very quickly- It also allays the pain and soreness. Keep a bottle of Pain Balm in your home and it will save you time and money, not to mention the incon. venience and suffering which such injuries entail, For sale by 3. R.
