Os course, it can’t help but quickly put an end to such superficial aliments as lumbago, neuralgia, neuritis, aching muscles, stitch in the side, cricjc in the nepk or sore feet, because of its penetrating action, but what it is really recommended for is Joint ailments of any nature whatever. Ask for a tube of "Joint-Ease.” Tou can use it several times in one evening for quick results, because it goes right through the skin with only a few seconds’ rubbing. It surely is a swift penetrator, and when It gets under the skin, it starts right in to clean up all joint trouble. Hook’s Dependable . Drug Stores, Goldsmith's Six Drug Stores, Haag Drug Company, dispense it daily for about 60 cents a tube, as do flrstclaas druggists everywhere.
