War Upon Pain

Pain is a visitor to every home and
usually it comes quite Unexpectedly.
But you are prepared for every emer-
gency if you keep a small bottle of
Sloan's Liniment handy. 1t is the
greatest pain killer ever discovered.
Simply laid on the skin-no rubbing
required-it drives the pain away. It
is really wonderful.
Mervin H. Soister, Berkeley, Cal,
writes: Last Saturday, after tramp
ing around the Panama Exposition
with wet feet, l came home with my
neck so stiff that l couldn't turn. l
applied Sloan's Liniment freely and
went to bed. To my surprise next
morning the stiffness hal almost dis
appeared, four hours afteh the sec
ond application l was as good as
