JUMPED ON A TENPENNY NAIL' The little daughter of Mr J. N. Powell jumped on an inverted rake made of ten penny nails, and thrust one nail entirely through her foot and a eeeun.d one half way through. Chamberlain’s Pain Balm was promptly applied and five minutes later the pain had disappeared and no more suffering was experienced. In three days the child was wearing her shoe as usual and with absolutely no discomfort. Mr Powell is a well known merchant of Forkland, Va., U.S.A. Pain Balm is an antiseptic and heals such injuries without maturation and in one third the time required by the usual treatment. For sale by' A. Manoy, Motueka.
