But you are prepared for every emer gency if you keep a small bottle of Sloan’s Liniment handy. It is the greatest pain-killer ever discovered. Simply laid on the skin—no rubbing required—it drives the pain away. It is really wonderful. Mervin H. Bols ter, Berkely, Cal., writes: "Last Sat urday, after tramping around the Pan ama Exposition with wet feet, I came home with my neck so stiff that I couldn’t turn. I applied Sloan’s Lini ment freely and went to bed. To my surprise, the next morning the stiff ness had almost disappeared. Four hours after the second application I was as good as new.
