DOES RHEUMATISM
BOTHER YOU ?
Many Doctors Use Musterole

So many sufferers have found relief
in Musterole that you ought to buy a
small jar and try It.
Just spread it on with the fingers.
Rub it in. First you feel a gentle
glow, then a delicious, cooling com
fort. Musterole routs the twinges,
loosens up stiffened joints and muscles.
Musterole is clean, white ointment,
made with oil of mustard. 1t penetrates
to the seat of pain and drives it away,
but does notbister the tenderest skin.
It takes the place of the mussy, old
fashioned mustard plaster.
Musterole is recommended for bron-
chitis, Group, asthma, pleurisy, lum-
bago, neuralgia, sprains, bruises, stiff
neck, headache and colds of the chest
