Guard Against "Flu"
 With Musterole

Influenza, Grippe and Pneumonia usually start with a cold. The moment you get those warning aches, get busy with good old Musterole.
 Musterole is a counter -irritant that relieves congestion (which IS what 9 cold reallyis) and stimulates circulation.
 It has all the good qualities of tha old-fashioned mustard plaster without the blister.
 Just rub it on with your fnger-tips. First you will feel a warm jingle as the healing ointment pe1euates the pores, then a soothing, cooling sensation and quick relief
 Have Musterole handy for emergency use. It may prevent serious illness.
