Thoroughly ReIinhIe,

If ever there was a reliable and safe
remedy it is that old and famous porous
plaster-Allcock's 1t has been in use for
sixty years, and is as popular to-day as
ever, and we doubt if there is a civilized
community on the face of the globe where
this wonderful pain reliever cannot be
found. In the selection of the ingredi-
ents and in their manufacture the greatest
care is taken to keep each plaster up to
the highest standard Of excellence. and SO
pure and simple are the ingredients that
even a child can use them.
Allcock's are the original and genuine
porous plasters and are sold by druggists
in every part of the civilized world.
