A WORD OF COMFORT
To the Distressed.
„_
Fortunately for those suffering with
Rheumatism in all its various forms, in
cluding Sore Joints, Sore Muscles, and
Sore Feet, a remedy has been discovered
by modern science which in every instance
effects a speedy and positive cure. This
new remedy is founded on scientific prin
ciples which are acknowledged by the
medical world as the only correct treat
ment for Rheumatic or Neuralgic troubles.
Medicines taken internally rarely ever ef
fect a cure without upsetting the stomach.
As a rule, they injure the digestive organs,
shatter the nerves, and in many instances
the patient contracts a drug habit which
leads eventually to a decline of thephysi
I cal and mental forces.
Paracamph is the new remedy and it is
a departure from the antiquated methods.
Paracamph enters into the system through
the natural channels, namely, the pores
of the skin. When applied it opens the
pores and allows the healing, soothing oils
to penetrate the sore, inflamed mebranes
and muscles, removes the congestion and
draws out the fever and inflammation, by
inducing sweating. This is the only treat
ment that can be indorsed by science, and
is guaranteed to cure even the most obsti
nate cases of Rheumatic Swellings if used
as directed. Paracamph can be procured
at drug stores in 25 cent, and 50 cent, and
$1.00 bottles. Write for book of testimo
nials, sent free. The Paracamph Company
