As a universal liniment for both internal and external use this is without an equal for relieving pain. It is used where any liniment is likely to do good in all aches and pains. Preparations of this nature when used externally should be applied plentifully and vigorously. This is the reason why itinerant venders of liniments under various titles such as Wizard Oil, Pain Killer, Instant Relief, etc., produce such remarkable cures in public. Their remedies all possess more or less remedial value, but without brisk and patient rubbing they would do as little good when applied externally as so much cold water. Now that a reliable formula is at hand a quantity of this Wonder Liniment can be prepared at a minimum cost without paying for bottles, labels, advertising, salaries, rents, etc., which are the necessary expenses of all medicine firms, and which ultimately are borne by the consumer.

| Alcohol4 | ounces. |
Mix, and apply by rubbing with the hand. This is useful in rheumatism, neuralgia, headache, toothache, and all nervous pains.
