Tit III, V A HOUSEHOLD KKMKDY.
C. Middlcbrook, 210 Bedford
avenue,
Brooklyn, X. Y., writes':
" I have used Allcock's Porous Plasters
for the last twenty years. They are truly a
household remedy. If one of my children
has a cold and wheezes, I put an Allcock's
Poaofs Plaster on the chest and one 13
tween the shoulder blades. If any of the
children have crotipy coughs, or coughs of
any kind, I place the plaster close up
around the throat; the soothine ell'ect is
apparent almost always in two hours. If
they have a disordered stomach, a plaster
jdnced just below the chest bones makes
digestion perfect in half a day. If there is
any looseness of the bowels, accompanied
by coldness of the skin, two Allcock's
Ponot s Plasters applied over the stomach j
uuiu in iruiu two to live nouis. 1 nonce
particularly that these jilasters never abrade
the skin or cause the slightest irritation.
From mv own exjierience I know they
never fail for rheumatism, pains in the
back or lumbago."
There are some jieOplo who are as good as the
kind r,( pie you don't like.
The manufacturer of Star Plugt chewing
tobacco have built up the largest tobacco
business the world ha ever seen by giving
the consumer the best tobacro and full
weight sixtcen-ouncr pound plugs, proving
conclusively that good tobacco and pound
plugs are wanted by most tobacco chewers.
