The Best Remedy for Rheumatism, From the Fairhaven (N.Y. Register. Mr. James Rowland of this village, states that for twenty-five years his wife has been a sufferer from rheuma- | tis. A few nights ago she was in such pain that she was nearly crazy. She sent Mr. Rowland for the doctor, but he had read of Chamberlain's Pain Balm and instead of going for the phy- sician he went to the store and secured a bottle of it. His wife did not ap- prove of Mr. Rowland’s purchas at first but nevertheless applied the Balm thoroughly and in an hour's time was able to go to sleep. She now applies it whenever she feels an ache or a pain and finds that it always gives relief. He says that no medicine which she had used ever did her so much good.
