Then add enough water to make a
stiff dough. Work on a bread board

In Virginia the stump of an old tree
Is used on which to beat the biscuit.
Finally break off pieces of the

: HEAD STUFFED FROM
CATARRH OR A COLD
. Says Cream Applied in Nostrils •
; Opens Air Passages Right Up. J
Instant relief—no waiting. Your
clogged nostrils open right up;
the air passages of your head
clear and you can breathe freely.
No more hawking, snuffling,
blowing, headache . dryness. No
struggling for breath at night;
your cold or catarrh disappears.
Get a small bottle of Ely’s
Cream Balm from your druggist
now. Apply a little of this fra
grant, antiseptic, healing cream
in your nostrils. It penetrates
through ev.ery air passage of the
head, soothes the inflamed or swol
len mucous membrane and relief
comes instantly.
It’s just fine. Don’t stay stuffed
up with a cold or nasty catarrh.
