WHAT IS PAIN BALM?

Chamberlain’s Pain Balm is a liniment and, while adapted to all the ordinary uses of a liniment, has qualities which distinguish it from other remedies of this class. Pain Balm is especially beneficial for rheumatism. Thousands of cases can be cited in which it has effected a cure when the sufferer had previously tried the best medical service without securing relief. Pain Balm is positively guaranteed to give relief  in the most severe cases of chronic or acute rheumatism.

Pain Balm heals bruises, burns and scalds in less time than any other treatment. It is “antiseptic” that is, it prevents putrefaction and by so doing, generally prevents and unsightly scar remaining after the injury is healed. For lame back, lumbago and neuralgia, Pain Balm has no equal. It has the quality of “getting to the right spot.” No sufferer from these distressing affections should defer a trial of this remedy. One application gives relief. Try it. For sale by all dealers. Benson, Smith & Co., general agents.

“HIS MASTER’S VOICE”
REG. U.S. PAT OFF

To insure Victor quality, always look for the famous trademark, “His Master’s Voice.” It is on every Victrola and every Victor Record. It is the identifying label on all genuine Victrolas and Victor Records.

All the fascination of Hawaiian music is in these Victor Records

There is a quaint and dreamy beauty to the music of Hawaii as it comes like the whispering breeze from the mid-Pacific. It breathes the lightsome spirit of this land of sunshine. Its laguorous rhythm is typical of Hawaiian life, of the swaying trees, the beating surf, of the joys and sorrow of this interesting music-loving people.

And all the enchantment of Hawaiian music, all the charms of their quaint instruments, all the peculiar beauties of their light voices are brought to you on Victor Records. You are in fancy transported to these far-off islands.

HOW DIPHTHERIA IS CONTRACTED.

One often hears the expression, “My child caught a severe cold which developed into diphtheria,” when the truth that cold had simply left the lit- truth was that cold had simply left the wandering diphtheria germ. When Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is given it not only cures the cold, but greatly lessens the danger of diphtheria or any other germ disease being contracted. There is no danger in giving this remedy, as it contains no opium or other harmful drug. For sale by all dealers. Benson, Smith & Co., agents for Hawaii.
