Postal Card Too Small
Mrs. A. T. Neal, of Maryville, Mo.,
Says:
“A postal card is to small to begin my
praise of your wonderful preparation, Par
acamph. My first experience with Para
camph was about oneyear ago; my little
girl was very badly burned with hot grease
One of m3'kind neighbors recommended
Paracamph and gave me what she had on
hand, as we live in the country and could
not immediatelyget it from town. The first
application gave relief. We used about
three bottles and the bums were healed up
nicely, although they were \-er3’ bad bums.
M)' little gi rl was pla3’ing and fell knock
ing the grease in her lap; she was burned
on both legs from the knees almost to her
hips, and in removing her clothing a great
deal of the skin came off, leaving her legs
perfectly raw. I have used Paracamph for
a great man}' things since then, ami never
like to be without it in my house. I have
quite a family and find it a great bisk to
write, but I hope my letter will reach }-ou
in time, as I am a great friend of Para
camph. I could tell 3-0U more of its good
works but guess this will be enough for
this time. I am always willing to sound
the praise of a valuable remedy.”
This letter should convince all mothers
ofthenecessit)-for keeping in their homes
a bottle of Paracamph. This wonderful
reined}' is needed almost ever}' day in the
year. It not only relieves pain quickly
but it heals all manner of woumis without
leaving ugly scars. Get a bottle of Para
camph today, and if it fails to do what we
claim for it and if you don’t find it is the
most useful remedy you have ever had in j
your home, we will refund your money.
All good druggist sell it in 25 cent, 50
cent, and $1.00 bottles. The Paracamph
Company, Louisville, Ky., U. S*A.

“Wine of Cardui is certainly ‘worn

to give my experience with it. A few
months ago I caught a severe cold, hav
ing been out in inclement weather, which
settled all over me, particularly in the
abdomen. I was in almost constant pain.
I consulted a physician and took his
medicine for a month and without any
relief. I then decided I would try your
medicine and it was a lucky day for me
when I did so. I noticed a change in a
few days and felt encouraged to continue
taking Wine of Cardui, and my patience
was rewarded, for in two weeks my pains
had left me and f felt like a new woman.”
