And Breathing Hurts For Relief-Do This!

A vigorous rubbing of the chest, neck and side with Ncrviline is often very advisable. This soothing liniment soaks into the area where the pain is seated, and gives fast relief. to sore chest duc to cold. When congestion is dissipated and painful breathing is relieved, the sense of soreness is rapidly re- liaved. Just try Nerviiine for chest- tightness, coughs and soreness duc to cold. It is a powerful liniment, and if used in time’ may save thc whole family the discomforts of numerous minor ills. The effect of Nervililae in many instances is sur- prisingly helpful. Many mothers say it. should be in every homc to assist in overcoming external mus- cular and joint pains. Try Nerviline for lame back. sore joints and rheumatic aches.
