''Taks care Of yourself" /" say our friends.
''I'Ntry to, !" we answer. We do take little
care, yet in spite Of warm clothes, rubbers
and mackintoshes, an army of people were
bowled out by pneumonia and other lung
and chest diseases last winter. They
caught cold, neglected it, let it fix upon
them, were torn by coughs, choked by
inhammations and congestions, wasted by
fever, tired out by pain and then gave up
the Aght. The hour you realize that you
have cold on the chest, place Benson's
Porous Plaster whore the pain or oppres-
sion is felt. Il you think two are needed
make 1t two. No harm If you were COW
cred with them. They act quickly and
prevent the engorgment of blood in the
organs. In this way-with ordinary eau.
ton as 10 ezposurs-you will break up the
eold and avoid serious sickness. No
other apphcations, or any other form Of
treatment, viii accomplish this as certainly
and speedily. Benson's Plasters have dis
tincs and positive action and are curative to
the highsstdsgree. ssthem with the same
confidence for coughs, muscular rheuma-
tism, the grip (baok and chest) and all sim
ilaF ailments. Women, who are chief suffer-
ers from cold weather complaints, should
keep these plasters always within reach.
