Announce New Way to Relieve
Pain of Arthritis and Rheumatism
Without Pills!
Greaselees, odorless cream penetrates
deep—speeds up flow of fresh, rich blood into
sore areas—actually helps drtvs away pain-

By SAM DAWSON
NEW YORK (—It’s a bigger
Christmas in traffic jams too. More
traffic in store aisles means more
tieups on the streets — and there
are more cars than ever this year
to get stuck at intersections.
Electronic engineers are busily
tackling the traffic officer’s prob-
lems. First they thought up use of
radar to clock speedsters on the
open stretches of streets and high-
ways.
Next, in spots where traffic
sometimes only crawls, if that,
electronics thought up a scheme of
New York, N. T. (Special) —
Science has now developed an
odorless, greaseless cream that
acts in a new way to bring a new
- kind of relief from pains of arthri-
- tis, rheumatism, and-museular
aches and pains. This new cream
relieves these pains without the
need of taking pills and other in-
ternal medicines that may only
upset the system.
- Gently rubbed into painful
areas, this cream penetrates so
deep and completely that it actu-
ally vanishes. Quickly a comfort-
% ing feeling of warmth develops
- and the whole painful area takes
on a pleasing glow. This is strik-
ing evidence of the power of this
eream to penetrate quickly and
stimulate the circulation of the
blood. This glow illustrates how
it speeds up the flow of fresh, rich
blood into the sore areas and ac-
146 British and French doctors
are so satisfied with this new help
for patients suffering from ar-
thritis and rheumatism that they
have prepared written reports of
success based on hundreds of
cases. Further, one of the leading
arthritis and rheumatism clini-
cians in the United States has
now confirmed the findings of
these doctors.
Now for the first time this re-
markable cream can be obtained
without a prescription at drug
stores throughout America-un-
der the name InfraRUB®. The
price of InfraRUB is only 98e
for a large tube. InfraRUB is
backed by the amazing guarantee
that sufferers from the pains of
arthritis, rheumatism, lumbago,

The gadget receives a steady
stream of traffic information, me-

Zip. Gov. Dan Thornton wants the
nice people of Denver to know,
and he's been found.
Zip, a golden retriever, strayed
from the governor’s quarters last
week but was recovered a few
days later after stories about him
appeared in the papers.
Trouble is. there are more dog-
gone dogs that look like Zip in
Denver than anyone knew. And
most of them have been brought to
Thornton’s door by well meaning
citizens the last few days.
ne One gent called with a golden
retriever under his arm yesterday.
les Told the real Zip had returned, the
us. caller told Thornton he'd taken a
taxi all the way across town to
return the pup. The governor dug
into his pocket and paid the cab
fare. - -•
