CURED HIS MOTHER OF RIIKU
MATISM.
?'My mother has boon a RUlTeror for
many years from rhoum.nism," says
W. H. Howard of Husband, Pennsyl
vania. "At times she was unablo to
move at all, while at all limes walking
was painful. I p*osentcd her with a
bott.'e of Chamoerlain's Pain Halm and
altor a few applications -ho decided it
w,.s the most wonderful pain reliever
she had ever tried, In fact, she is never
withojt now and Is at all times able to
wck. An ocoaelonal application of
Pa!n Balm keeps away the pain that
?he was formerly troubled with." For
