Oh, How They Hurt.

Neuralgia pains are often so acute,
that the poor sufferer becomes, almost,
frenzied with the intensity of the pain.
Salvation Oil will instantly relieve and
effectually cure neuralgia, so there
is no reason why a moments pain
should be endured. Mr.. Jacob Klein,
1896 Main ST., Evansville, Ind, writes:
"My wife suffered from neuralgia for
seven years and since she used Saliva
ton Oil, she has not had a spell. /
think it is the best liniment have ever
tried, and l would not be without
bottle of it in the house. | had the
rheumatism for five years and had tried
