The TOUCH DOES IT

Benson's Plasters are like your other
friends-they hate to see you in pain or
in weakness and are dog-tired hearing you
complain about it. They want to cure you
and send you along to your business-whole
and happy. They can do it and acM do it.
Try them on. What for? Why for any
cough or cold you may be troubled with, or
any bothering pain or ache, or worry with
kidneys or liver. Possibly some old clutch
of muscular rheumatism renders an arm or
a leg worth only half price just now. For
anything that makes the machine work slow
and stiff, with pain maybe in the motion of
it, clap "a Benson's Porous Plaster squarely on
the bad spot. They are the get-out-to-norroso
plasters-not the sort that go to sleep on
your skin like cat on cushion. There
is comfort and speedy relief in the touch Of
them. No other external remedy, no mat
ter how made or how called, is worthy
to live in the same street with Ben.
sons Plasters. Pains and ailments melt
away under them as sheet of ice does un-
der the Spring sun. You cannot foretell
the weather but you can always foretell
the effect of Benson's Plasters; it is as
sure as the effect of hot breakfast in q
hungry mans stomach. But look out for
substitutes. Get the genuine All drug
gists, or we will prepay postage on any
number ordered in the United States on
receipt of 25c. each.
