Persons who sympathize with the afflicted will rejoice with D. E. Carr, of 1235 Harrison St., Kansas City. He is an old sufferer from inffamatory rheumatism, but has not heretofore been troubled in this climate. Last winter he went up into Wisconsin, and in consequence has had another attack. “It came upon me again very acute and severe,” he said, “my joints s-welled and became inflamed; sore to touch or almost to look at. Upon the urgent request of my mother-in-law I tried Chamberlain’s Pain Balm to reduce the swelling and ease the pain, and to my agreeable Surprise, it did both. I have used three fifty-cent bottles and believe it to be the finest thing for rheumatism, pains and swellings extant.” For sale by B. Meyer, druggist.
