Sore Muscles

Golf is lots of fun the day you play.
but the next day it's another story. Then
you're stiff and sore, and you feel twice
as old as you really are. If you'll take
q good rub down with Omega Oil after
you get home from the links, there won't
be any, soreness or stiffness at all the
next day; not Q bit. Your muscles and
flesh will be in fns shape, and you can GO,
out and play again, feeling fresher than
ever. 1t Isn't going to cost you much 70
buy bottle Of Omega Oil, and see fdr
yourself II this isn't so.
Those who play baseball, cricket on
lawn tennis, would do well to follow the
above advice also. 7l9
