With Musterole
Influenza, Grippe and Pneumonia
usually start with a cold. The moment
you get those warning aches, get busy
with good old Musterole.
Musterole is a counter-irritant that
relieves congestion (which is what a
cold really is) and stimulates circulation.
It has all the good qualities of the
old-fashioned mustard plaster without
the blister.
Just rub it on with your finger-tips.
First you will feel a warm tingle as the
healing ointment penetrates the pores,
then a soothing, cooling sensation and
quick relief.
Have Musterole handy for emergency
use. It may prevent serious illness.
