A HOUSEHOLD NECEssITY,-If our
readers knew of the real merits of Renne'
Magic Oil, we are sure they would make
a place for it on their sideboard or shelf at
once. For burns, scalds. spralns colds, in
fammatory complaints, and in fact nearly
all the aches, pains and ills that the human
frame is heir to, there is no medicine sold
that excels, if it equals this popular pain
reliever. VIM. Renne is no quack. He
is one of the first citizens of Pittsfeld,
Mass, and his reputation for integrity and
perfect upright dealings in everything, is
one that he would never risk on an I'M
worthy article. We advise our readers to
try Renne's Magic Oil, and if it does not
prove equal to our assertions hold us re-
sponsible. Troy, ~ Y, Daily Times.
