Dangers 81 Draft.

Drafts feel best when we are
hot and perspiring, just when
they are most dangerous and the
result is neuralgia, stiff neck,
sore muscles or sometimes at at
tack of rheumatism. In such
cases apply Sloan's Liniment. It
stimulates circulation to the sore
and painful part. The blood flows
freely and in a short time the
stiffness and pain leaves. Those
suffering from neuralgia or neu-
ralgic headache will find one or
two applications of Sloan's Lin
iment will give grateful relief.
The agonizing pain gives way to a
tingling sensation of comfort and
warmth and quiet rest and sleep
is possible. Good for neuritis,
too. Price csc at yo,,r druggist.
