Of course it's hard to work. Stoop-

you wonder what to do. Ever try
Nerviline? Nothing like it for weak
or lame brick. It penetrates to the
core of the pain, eases from the first
application, brings cure that defies a
relapse. No liniment is so clean, so
soothing, so certain to kill muscular,
rheumatic or sciatic pains. Your
dealer sells Poison's Nerviline in large
25c bottles. Why not try it ?
