This great, soothing, curative
remedy relieves pain, reduces
swelling and Inflammation, and
heals up all open wounds and
sores. 1t is the one perfect, mod
ern dressing, or treatment, for a
wound. It's quick use will posi-
lively prevent blood poisoning.
Always keep it at hand.
Says Mrs. Jessie Farris, OF Eliz-
abeth, KY: my little boy was
badly burned on both legs, which
were so drawn out Of shape that
he could not even crawl. I tried
many remedies without relief, but
finally Hamlins Wizard Oil made
a perfect cure, and he can now
walk and run. We thought we
should have to amputate both his
legs, and feel that Hamlins Wizard
oil saved his life" Price Doc and
