You can't play football without getting sprains, barked shins, bumps etc., and you> can't get right again without using Chamberlain's Pain Balm. Bathe the affected parts with water as hot as you can b»ar and then rub in Chamberlain's Pain Balm freely and you soon forget- that you oven had an ache or pain. Sold everywhere
