and with your kind of work they certainly cut down efficiency. Why don't you try Nujol?"
 "Well, believe it or not" says Mr Myers, fin few days l felt like new man. Whats got into you?' asked the home office, your busi- ness has increased 50 per cent''',
 That's the great thing about Nujol. As soon as it begins to clean the poisons out of your system it makes you feel so well that you can almost always do a much better job.
 Nuiol is not a medicine and con- tains no drugs. It is perfectly harms less, forms no habit. It is simply bodily fabrication, which everybody needs. You, like everybody else!
 Why put off good health any longer? Go into any good drug store and get bottle of Nujol in a sealed package. Costs so little and means so much! Maybe you can increase your efficiency 50 per cent too!
