Burns and Scalds. — Even tho slightest burn or scald will raise a blister, and often lead to a painful and chronic sore. Instantly after a burn, apply Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which' will relieve the paiu, and in most cases prevent tho formation of a blister or sore. No ordinary accident is so likely to lead to dangerous results as a burn or scald, and if Chaml>erlain'9 Pain Balm was good for nothing else, it "/ould still be a remedy that no household should ever be without.
