 PAIN FOREVER
No Need to Suffer Another Day Those Agonizing Tortur-

There is one simple yet inexpens siye way to reduce unframed, swol- len toe joints and get them down 10 normal and that is to apply Moone's Emerald oil night and morning and people who suffer from such enlargements would be wise to reduce them before they reach @ more or less chronic stage.
 Ask at the Fair Drug Dept. or any first class druggist for an origi- nal two-ounce bottle of Moone's Emerald Oil (full strength) and refuse 10 accept anything in its place. It is such a highly concen. trated preparation that two ounces last a long time and furthermore If this wonderful discovery does not give you complete satisfaction you can have your money refunded.
 Special note: People who want to reduce swollen or varicose veins should get bottle of Emerald Oil at once. Applied night and morning as directed they will quickly notice an improvement which will con- tinue until the veins and punches are reduced to normal.
