FATHER CUNNINGHAM
> Rector Holy Crose Church,
32nd & Broadway, Louisville, Ky,
says: “Being fully convinced of the gen
uine merit of Paracamph, I therefore
recommend it. For three -weeks I suffer
ed with a severe Cold, the chest becoming
painfully sore. I bought a bottle of
Paracamph and before retiring rubbed
the throat and chest thoroughly and cov
ered with absorbent cotton as directed.
One application gave me perfect relief,
the result being all the more astonishing
because it was least expected. Since then
I have had the privilege of seeing it used
in cases of cuts, bruises, etc., and in al
most every case the sufferer has been
afforded instant relief. It has been a
source of blessing and I therefore recom
mend it.
Paracamph is a clean, safe home renV
edy. Mothers will find it excellent for
quickly relieving Croup, Sore Throat,
Sore Chest, Sore Muscles, Neuralgia and
all forms of Swellings and Inflammations.
Paracamph is a combination of Camphor
and cooling, soothing, healing oils. Trial
size 26c ; family sizes 60c and $1.00. If
you have never used Paracamph we will
send you a trial size free. Write to
