Thoroughly Reliable.
If ever there was a reliable antI safe
remetIy it Is that old antI famous porous -
ous plaster-AlIcocle's. It has been in
use for slxly years , antI Is as popular
to-day as ever , and we doubt 1f there
Is a civilized community on the face
of the globe where this wonder1l11 pain
reliever cannot bo found. In tbe selec.
tlon of the Ingredients and In their

to keep each plaster up to the highest

even n child can use them.
