Mr E. L. Hawkins, 123 West 27th !
St., New York City, Says:
“I have used Paracamph in a severe case
of Rheumatism, and will say that I got
immediate, relief. I have tried almost
every preparation that is now before the
public, and find that Paracamph is with
out question the best remedy for Rheu
matism. I wish you success and heartily
recommed Paracamph "
Mr Hawkins is only one out of many
thousands that have been cured by the
wonderful penetrating remedy Taracamph
This new remedy is a scientific prepara
tion which when applied, opens the pores
of the skin, allowing the soothing, cool
ing oils to penetrate to seat of the ailment,
removing the soreness and congestion,
drawing out the fever and inflammation
by inducing sweating. It sweats out the
pain and aches, and this is Nature’s plan, j
Don’t ruin your stomach with strong j
internal medicines for Rheumatism, Neu- j
ralgia, Sore Joints, etc. We guarantee
Paracamph to relieve and cure you if used j
as directed. If it fails your druggist will
refund your money. If your druggist don’t
handle Paracamph ask him to get for you.
If he won’t do this send direct to us.
But don’t take any substitute because there
is nothing just as good. Paracamph is sold
only in 25 cent, 50 cent, and $1.00 bottles.
The 50 cent size contains three times as
much as the 25 cent size; the $1.00 bottles
eight times as much as the 25 cent size.
