employment, sickness, death and
other forms Of misfortune, loans on
which interest is paid at the rate of

Safe, Sure and Speedy.

No external remedy ever yet devised
has so fully and unquestionably met
these three prime conditions so success
fully as Allcock's Porous Plasters. They
are safe because they contain no dele
terious drugs and are manufactured
upon scientific principles Of medicine.
They are sure because nothing goes into
them except ingredients which are ex-
sctly adapted to the purposes for which
the plaster is required. They are speedy
in their action because their medicinal
qualities go right to their work of re-
lieving pain and restoring the natural
and healthy performance of the func-
tions Of muscles, nerves and skin. Do
not be deceived by misrepresentation.
Ask for Allcock's, and let no solicitation
or explanation induce youto accept a
substitute.
