has perhaps relieved more sufferers
than any other known remedy in the
same length of time. Three million
bottles sold under an absolute xuaran-
tee to give satisfacti or money re-
funded and less than dozen bottles
returned. Many have testified that they
have suffered with rheuma tism and
lumbago until they had been forced to
give up their work because they could
not use their limbs. Some who could
not even raise their arms above their
heads nave been relieved and are now
praising this wonderful oil that other
sufferers may be benefited. No won
der this great oil treatment has sprung
into such tremendous popularity in so
brief a time and is so much praised
today by thousands thruout the coun-
try. For rheumatism. neuralgia, lum-
bago. stiff and aching joints or any
kind of an ache or pain it is said TO be
without an equal. For sore throat. ton
siiitis and for cuts and burns it has
been found most effective. This won
derful new oil remedy that is produc-
ing such remarkable results thruout
the country is now for sale by all
