HOW GOOD that
MUSTEROLE FEELS!
II Gets to That Sore Spot
Like Magic

A-a-hl That's a delicious relief
for those sore muscles, those stiff
joints, that lame back.
Musterole is a clean, white oint-
ment, made with the oil of mustard
and other home simples.
1t does. the work of the old
fashioned mustard plaster, minus the
Iplaster and minus the blisterl
YOU simply rub Musterole on the
spot where the pain is-rub it on
briskly-and usually the pain is gone.
No muss, no bother. Just comfort
ing soothing relief-first a gentle
glow, then delightful sense of
coolness. And best of all, no blisters
like the old-fashioned mustard plas-
ter used to make.
Use Musterole for sore throat,
bronchitis, tonsilitis, Group, stiff
neck, asthma, neuralgia, headache, con-
gestion, pleurisy, rheumatism, lumbago,
pains and aches of the back or joints,
sprains, sore muscles, bruises, chill
blains, frosted feet and colds of tho
chest (it often prevents pneumonia).

NEW YORK, March 2s-conviction

into baby carriages and thinking
every little boy was hers, the foster
parent yielded. F.
Mrs. Shire's counsel, Raymond W.

ChlIIs the Blood.

---~N
Instead of making the .oIcod glow
with heat" alcohol actually ohflIs The
blood and lowers the tissue tempera-
ture to the point where pneumonia
and grip bacteria can get in their
fatal work
The sensation of warmth and stimu-
lation induced by a drink OF alcoholic
liquor is fictitious. 1t has been laid
at the door of the paralytic action.
Alcohol deadens the "vagus" nerve or
check rein of the heart to such an ex-
tent that the poor frightened heart
gallops away at a great ra.e like a
scared rabbit.
Indeed, SO dangerous is this alco-
holic power over the vague nerve
the 'inhibitory" or controlling nerve
OF the heart, lungs. diaphragm, and
stomach-that a runaway pulse with
red fiushes all over the face and sur
face skin gives you a glow or false
sense of heat which makes for care
less exposure to cold and the posi-
bilities of contracting pneumonia.
Causes HIeosughs.
Hiccoughs come from the same
cause. The diaphragm-thep partition
between the torso and abdomen-is
made to move with the rhythm OF
respiration by the vagus nerve. II
this control Is released by temporary
paralysis and release OF the check
rein. hiccoughs appear.
Alcohol, obviously, deadens and dulls
efficiency and the intellect as 1t does
all physical manifestations. The loose
tongue and effervescent wit which
gives rise to the platitude, when the
wine goes in the truth comes out" ex-
plains why strong-willed persons and
some politicians prefer the moderate
drinker" to the nondrinker.
