That cold may turn into Flu"
Grippe or, ever worse, Pneumonia,
unless you take care of it at once.
Rub good old Musterole on the con-
gested parts and see how quickly it
brings relief.
Colds are merely congestion. Mus
terole, made from pure oil of mustard,
camphor, menthol and other simple
ingredients, is a counter -irritant which
stimulates circulation and helps break
up the cold.
AS effective as the messy old mustard
plaster, does the work without blister.
Just rub it on with your finger-tips.
You will feel a warm tingle as it enters
the pores, then a cooling sensation that
brings welcome relief.
To Mothers: Musterole is now
made in milder form for
babies and small children.
