A sprain may be promptly treated betore inflammation sets m, which nsores a cure m about one-third of the itime otherwise required. Cuts and bruises should receive immediate treatment before he parts become swollen, which can only be done when Pain Balm is kept at hand. A sore throat may be cured before it becomes Beriouß. A troublesome corn may be re- moved by applying it twice a day for a week or two.
