Try This if Troubled with Rheumatism. — Our little boy was afflicted with rheumatism in his knee ; and at times unable to put his foot to the floor. We tried in vain everything we could hear<fl| that we thought would help him. We almost gave up in despair, when some one advised us to try Chamberlain's Pain Balm. We did so, and the first bottle gave so much relief that we got a second one, and, to our surprise, it cured him sound and- well. — J T Bays, Pastor Christian Church, Neodesha, Kan. For sale by H Williams, Chemist, Greymouth. How to Prevent Croup. — We have two children who are subject to attacks of croup. Whenever an attack is coming on my wife-gives them Chamberlain's Cough Remedy arid it always prevents the attack. It is a household necessity in this county, and no matter what else we run out of, ib would noc do to be without Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. More of it is. sold here than of all other cough medicines combined. — J M Nickle, of Nickle Bros, merchants, Nickleville, Pa. For sale by H Williams, Chemist, Greymouth.
