STOP THAT COLD DISTRESSING cold in chest or throac--that 10 often leads to something serious generally responds to good old Musterole with the Urn application. Should be more effective if used once every hour for five hours. This famous blend of oil of mustard, camphor, menthol and other helpful in gredients brings relief naturally. Mus terole gets action because it is a scientific "counter-irritant" not just a salve it penetrates and stimulates blood circulation, helps to draw out infection and pain. Used by millions for 20 yean. Recommended by doctors and nurses. To Mothers Musterole is. also made in milder form for babies and small children. Ask for Chil dren musreroie.
