Many people have become despor.dent because they have been led to believe that there is no remedy that will reduce swollen veins and punches.
 If you will get a two-ounce original bottle of Moone's Emerald Oil (tull strength) at any first t-eiass drug store and apply it night and morning as di. rected you will quickly notice an im- provement which will continue until the veins and punches are reduced to normal
 Moone's Emerald oil Is a harmless, yet most powerful germcide and two ounces last very long time. Indeed, so power ful Is Emerald Oil that old chronic sores and ulcers arc often entirely healed and anyone who ia disappointed with its use can have their money refunded. The Fair Drug Dept. sells lots of it.
