SOLDIERS GOT RELIEF
FROM SORENESS
Boys on the Border Relieved Their
Pains and Aches with
Sloan's Liniment.

Once upon time Norman Jones,
Deriving in the National Guard at
al Paso, returned to camp after a
strenuous Is mile hike foot-sOre and leg
weary. He had not been long in active
service and his shoulders, back and
limbs felt the after-effects Of marching.
Remembering SJoan's Liniment,
Jones applied it to the sore spots apd
went to bed. He writes " arose the
next morning feeling fine; in fact |
had entirely forgotten about the hike
and went out for a four-hour drill in
the sun as spry as ever. "
Private Jones passed the experience
along, and many boy on the border
relieved the agony of sprains, strains,
bruises, insect bites, cramped muscles,
rheumatic twinges, ETC., by the use of
Sloan's Liniment.
Easily applied without rubbing. At
