YOU HAD
Do
you ever suffer from Head ache, Cough, Cold. Rheu matism, Neuralgia, Gout, Sore- throat. Toothache, or Asthma? If you do, will you allow us to solve the question of securing a cure, of course, a permanant one, and put an end to these dreadful enemies of humanity? Or do you like to be handicapped in society, in business or in your daily association with your strong, stout friends? For your own good, we would strongly advise you to have an open mind. and to make use of what you can call your true companion, instead of waiting for the time when you are attacked by disease, the young- est daughter of Mr. Fortune, Mins Fortune. When you are living and enjoying the gifts of na ture,
this unseen thief creeps into your system, and ruins you physically and mentally. Our preparation THE TIGER BALM, which has nothing to do with animal fat, or any injurious sub- stance, will safeguard your interest. When you are in trouble, just pay
■ few copper coins, and the next moment you will find that this world of sorrow and pain is sudden- ly changed to one of peace and pro sperity.'
