Creomulsion is a new medi- cal discovery with two-fold action: it soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and inhibits germ growth, Of all known drugs. creosote is recognized by high medical authori- ties as one of the greatest healing agencies for, persistent coughs and colds and other forms of throat troubles. Creomulsion contains, in addition ‘to creosote, other healing elements which soothd and heal.the infected membranes and stop the ir- ritation and inflammation, while the crepsote goes on.to the stomach, is abrorbel into the blood, attacks the the seat of the trouble and checks the growth of the germs.

It's a tax on the strongest muscles, and you're always in danger of catching a chill from the extremes of heat and cold going in and out of the cab. What do these hardy men do to keep their muscles strong and supple for their work? The standby of workers everywhere Ask any group of active men or women these same questions and two out of three of them will give you the same answer. Sloan's is the best thing you can use to keep muscles supple This locomotive engineer is one of 249 vailvoud men who t0ld us of the protection that Sloan's gives againat vhewmatism, colds, muscular pain Endorsed universally by those / under the ‘hardest work, to kill'the pain of overstrain or small injuries, to prevent colds and rheumatism. Read this letter from a fireman on the Union Pacific: “I am a fireman on Union Pacific R.R. I was taken sick in Maryyville, Kansas, and T worked back to Kansas City with pains shoot- ing all over my back. As soon as I got to Kansas City I got a bottle of your wonderful liniment and started to put it on, Itdid me a whole lot of good, and, for me, I wouldn't be without a bottle at any time., I carry a bottle in my grip all the time on road, After each trip I put some Sloan's on.”” C. R, Ellis, 3250 Gillham Road, Kansas City, Mo. . . . The minute you apply it you hegin to get relief. And it doesn't just deaden the pain temporarily—it gets rid of it. It stimulates the circulation, breaks up congestion, clears out germs and poisons, and the pain stops be- cause the cause is removed. . Get a bottle today and have it on hand. You never can tell when it may save you hours of agony —days of lost time. A bottle that lastsa long time is only 35 cents and you can get it at all druggists.
