cuts, bruises, strains, sprains, colds, rheu-

my profession, discovered such a remedy
in ALLcocK's Porous PLAsTERs. l tried
other plasters, but found them too harsh
and irritating. ALLcocK's Porous PLAs-
TERs 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 exercise.
In Sprint and distance races and
jumping, the muscles or tendons in the
legs and feet sometimes weaken. This can
invariably be relieved by cutting the pias-
