care, yet in spite of warm clothes, rubbers
and mnckintoshes, an army of people were
bowled out by pneumonia and other lung
and chest diseases last winter. They
caught cold, neglected 1t, let it fix upon
them, were torn by coughs, ohoked by
infiammntiens and COMPOSITIONS, wasted by
fever, tired out by pain and then gave up
the fight. The hour you realize that you
have cold on the chest, place Benson's
Porous Plaster where the pain or oppres-
sion is felt. II you think two are needed
make it two. No harm If you were COW
cred with them. They act quickly and
prevent the engagement of blood in the
organs. In this way-with ordinary eau.
ton as to exposure-you will break up the
cold and avoid q serious sickness. No
other applications, or any other form of
treatment, will accomplish this as certainly
and speedily. Benson's Plasters have dis
tinct and positive action and are curative to
the highest degree. Use them with the same
confidence for coughs, muscular rheuma-
tism, the grip Cback and chest and all SIM

ers from cold weather complaints, should
keep these plasters always within reach.
