War Upon Pain.

Pain is 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.
1t 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 couldn't turn. ap-
piled Sloan's Liniment freely and
went to bed. To my surprise, next
morning the stiffness had almost dis
appeared, four hours after the second
