New Treatment For
Swollen Glands

People who have enlarged glands
ought to know that by freely applying
Emerald Oil daily the gland can be
brought to a head and all the germs
and poisonous secretions discharged
and destroyed.
Furthermore the opening will heal
surely and speedily and without leav-
ing an unsightly scar. People who
desire this treatment should secure a
two-ounce original bottle of Emerald
Oil (full strength) and use as directed.
1t is a very concentrated preparation
and a small quantity lasts a long time.
1t is also used to reduce swollen veins
and dissolves goitre. H. j. Dennis &
