Sympathetic Pains.

The different organs of the body are
very sympathetic. One is very apt to
feel the pain of another. and it is not al
ways easy to locate the trouble exactly.
A weak back not infrequently occasions
pain in the side, and one limb often
aches out of sympathy for another.
ALLCoCK's Porous PLAsTERs are Just
the remedy in such cases. They are
soothing in their effect, and draw out
the pain SO that the back or side or
limbs are supple instead of stiff, and
free to perform their functions.
They have been tried by thousands
and millions of people in every land,
and with one uniform result, entire sat-
isfaction.
