OLD PEOPLE After a man or woman has lived 50 or more years the machinery of the body is pretty well worn out. Stop a minute and think how many miles you have walked in all thoso years how many thousands of pounds you have lifted how many hours you have stood on your feet how many times your joints have moved back and forth how many times youhave over-', done things in work and pleasure. Do you wonder that you have pains and aches? Isn't it about time you did something for your poor body? Get a bottle of OmegaOilat once and rub it into every

spot on your neck, shoulders, arms, back, hips, legs, knees and feet where there is an ache. Rub it in good and hard, and the first thing you know you'll feel at least ten years younger. Omega Oil is good for everything a liniment ought to be good for. Your drucprist sells OmfRa Oil, or can get it for you ct any wholes 1 dmggist. The Omejra Chemical Co., a;7 Broadway.
