says of Allcock's Porus Plaster5:
For the last forty-two years have been
engaged in the livery and hacking bust
ness l am greatly aided by my four boys.
We are much exposed to the weather, and
we have found Allcock's Plasters of very
great service. We use them as chest pro-
tectors, placing one on the chest and one
on the pit of the stomache. They not only
ward off the cold, but act as a tonic.
We are frequently affected with rheuma-
tism, kinks in the back, and pains in the
side; but one or two of Allcock's Plasters
quickly cure us. My wife and daughter
have been using Allcock's Plasters for
weak back and think the world of them.

years, and always havea box in the house"
