On the same principle Benson's Porous
Plaster is the universal standard external
remedy. To say it is q good" plaster does
not describe it; it IS the best possible plaster.
For every disease in which an external rem
edy is available, Benson's Plaster is used
almost as q matter Of course.
Benson's Plaster quickly relieves and
cures where other modes Of treatment are
either exaSperatingly slow or have NJ good
effect whatever. Coughs, colds, lumbago,
kidney trouble, rheumatism, lame back.
etc, are Gt osce benefited and soon cured.
Cspsicum, Strengthening and Belladonna
plasters have none Of the curative virtues
Of Benson's. More than 5000 physicians
