The Most Common Cause of Suffering
Rheumatism causes more pain and
suffering than nny other disease, for
the reason that is is the most com-
mon of all ills, and It is certainly
gratifying to sufferers to know that
Chamberlain's Liniment will afford re-
lief, and make rest and sleep possi-
ble. In many cases the relief from
pain, which is at flrat temporary, has
become permanent, while in old peo-
ple subject to chronic rheumatism,
often brought on by dampness or
changes In the weather, a permanent
cure cannot he expected; the relief
from pain which this liniment affords
its alone worth many times ita cost.
