Why Suffer from Rheumatism?
Do you know that nine out of
every ten cases of rheumatism are
simply rheumatism of the muscles or
chronic rheumatism, neither of which
require any internal treatment? The
pain may be relieved by applying
Chamberlain's Liniment thus making
sleep and rest possible, and that cer
tainly means a great deal to any one
afflicted with rheumatism. Weyrich
