Relieve Their DISTRESS
This Easy, Quick Way!
To bring speedy relief from the discom
fort of chest colds, muscular rheumatic
aches and pains due to colds you need
more than "just a salve" use a stimu
lating "counter-irritant" like good old
warming, soothing Musterole. It pene- .
t rales the surface skin breaking up local
congestion and pain resulting from colds.
Even better than a mustard plaster
Musterole has been used by millions for
over 30 years. Recommended by many
doctors and nurses. In three strengths:
Regular, Children's (mild) and Extra
Strong, 40. Approved by Good House
keeping Bureau. All druggists.

Quivering nerves can mx.ke you old and
haggard looking, cranky and hard to live
wiUi can keep you awake nights and
rob you of good health, good timej and
jobs.
What you may need is a particularly
good woman' tonic and could you ask
for anything whose benefits are better
proved than famous Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound? Let its whole
some herbs and roots help Nature build
up more physical resistance and thus help
calm your shrieking narves, give more
energy and make life worth living again.
More than a million women have re
ported benefit why not let Pinkham's
Compound help Yv)I7, too, to go "smil
ing thru" trying timis like it has other
grateful womn f"r the past 3 genera
tions? IT MUST BE GOOD!

FLY SAVED HIS SANITY
LONDON (UP) A fly saved the
sanity of a miner who was enotmb
ed for 16 hours in Pit House Col
liery, Brandon, Durham.
A cave-in shut John Lumley off
from the shaft and imprisoned him
in a small hole. A rock pinned him
in an agonizing position.
Durinc all the hours of torment,
he could hear no sound from outside.
Only the buzzing of ihe fly, his only
contact with life, gave him hope. It
prevented his brain from cracking
under the strain.
When rescue came and Lumley
saw his fly soar away into freedom,
there were tears in his eyes.
