Musterole relieves the congestion and stimulates circulation. It has all the good qualities of the old-fashioned mustard plaster without the blister. First you feel a warm tingle as the healing ointment penetrates the pores, then a soothing, cooling sensation and quick relief. Have Musterole handy for emergency use. It may prevent serious illness. To Mother*: Musterole i* alto made in milder form for babies and small children. Ask for Children’s Musterole. SHS Better than a muttard platter
