OF INTEREST TO ATHLETES.

James Robinson, the athletic trainer at
Princeton College, Princeton, y. j., says
II have found it imperative to have sure
and simple remedies on hand in case of
cuts, bruises, strains, sprains, colds, rheu-
matism, etc. shortly after entering upon
my profession | discovered such a remedy
in ALLcocK's Porous PLAsTERs. | tried
other plasters, but found them too harsh
and irritating. ALLcocK's Porous PLAs-
TIERS give almost instantaneous relief, and
their strengthening power is remarkable.
In cases of weak back put two plasters on
the small of the back and in a short time
you will be capable of quite severe exer-
else. In sprint, and distance races and
jumping, the muscles or tendons in the legs
and feet sometimes weaken. This can in
yariably be relieved by cutting the plaster
In narrow strips, so as to give free motion,
and applying on muscles affected"
