./Try This for Neuralgia. Thousands of people keep on suffering with \ neuralgia because they do not know what to do for it. Neuralgia is a pain in the nerves. What you want to do is to soothe the nerve itself. Apply Sloan’s Liniment to the surface over the painful part —do not rub it in. Sloan’s Liniment penetrates very quickly to the sore, irritated nerve and allays the inflammation. Get a bottle of Sloan’s Liniment- fov 25 cents of any druggist and have it in the house—against colds, sore and swollen joints, lumbago, sciatica and -like ailments. Your money back if not satisfied, but it does give almost instant relief.— Advt.
