Your attacks of Lumb:go are not
nearly SO hopeless as they seem. You
can relieve them almost instantly by
a simple application of Sloan's Lin
iment on the back and loins. Lum-
bago is a form of rheumatism, and
yields perfectly to Sloan's, which
penetrates quickly all in through the
sore, tender muscles, limbers up the
back and makes it feel fine. Get a
bottle of Sloan's Liniment for rs
cents of any druggist and have it in
the house against colds, sore and
swollen joints, rheumatism, neural

does give almost instant relief.
