How To Cure a Sprain,
Last fall I sprained my left hip while
handling some heavy boxes. The doc
tor I called on said at first it was a slight
strain and would soon be well, but it
grew worse and the doctor then said I
had rheumatism. It continued to grow
worse and I could hardly get around to
work. I went to a drug store and the
druggist recommended me to try Cham
berlain's Pain Balm. I tried it and one
half of a 50 cent bottle cured me entire
ly. I now recommend it to all my
friends.—F. A. BABCOCK, Erie, Pa.
