WHAT is VACHER-BALM7

Some years ago a vegetable wax
was discovered that has the power to
quiet nerves, and thus stop inflamma-
ton, without injury; this we combine
with extracts that destroy disease
germs and prevent infection. We
make this compound into q salve, with
the result that we have a local rem
edy that promptly relieves practically
all kinds of pains. such as Rheuma-
tism, Neuralgia, Toothache, Earache,
Sprains, Burns, Boils, etc.
This salve is obviously also the best
thing for Catarrh and Group; in fact
its quick action in the latter danger
GUS complaint is simply marvellous;
and being harmless, 1t can be used In
ternally for Collie, etc.
OF course the success of Vacher-
Balm caused many limitations to ap>
pear, so be sure you get the genuine
which has the signature of E. w.
VACHER on every package. 1t is put
up in 25c and SOC jars, and 25c tubes.
If you have never tried Vacher-Balm
write to e. w. vacher, New Orleans,
La, for a Free Sample. No family
should be without this remarkable rem
edy; 1t saves so much suffering.
II your druggist will not get vacher-

that sell the jars or tubes without any

a winding river, like a thread of sill

Stretched over an area Of about q
mile and a half square, the camp ac-

Immediately from the American trans

more, putting the finishing touches to

equipped. and dispatched to France
