Rhenimatism Pains :
Seop in 7 fe 10 Minutes
It is now easy to end rheumatism
pains. 7 to 10 minutes will prove it
to you. The test will cost you
nothing.
So why suffer another day from
the agony of this painful ailment
when you can secure MUSCLE-RUB,
the new preparation that not only
conquers the pains of rheumatism
but also lumbago, sciatica, neu-
ralgia, as well as the less serious
lameness of muscles and joints? It
is no longer necessary to dose the
system with internal medicine. The
entire MUSCLE-RUB treatment is a
simple liquid, applied directly to
the limbs, shoulders, neck, face or
back—wherever the trouble may be.
There is no burning—no irritation.
All pain stops as if by magic. Even
chronic and severe conditions re-
spond so amazingly that seldom is
more than a bottle needed.
We urge only that you make this
test. MUSCLE-RUB is now obtain-
able at any drug store. Buy it to-
day. Use one-half the bottle, and if
vou are not amazed and delighted
with the results, return the remain-
ing half bottle to your druggist, and
he will refund your money. The
price is 50¢ regular size, 89¢ for
large, family size.
