SHOULD SLOAN'S LINN ENT
GO ALONG?

OF course it should! For after a strenu.
GUS day when your muscles have been
exercised to the limit an application of
Sloan s Liniment will take the sore
ness and stiffness away and get you in
fine shape for the morrow. You should
also use it for sudden attack of
toothache, stiff neck, backache, stings,
bites and the many accidents that are
incidental to a vacation. "We would
as soon leave our baggage as go on n
vacation or camp out without Sloan g
Liniment.' Writes one vacatiOnist:
awe use it for everything from cramps
to toothache.' Put bottle in your
bag, be prepared and have no regrets.
