accomplishes for everybody exactly what Is claimed
forlt. One of the reasons for the great popularity of
the Hustang Liniment Is found ltits universal
applicability. Everybody needs such a medicine.
The Lumberman needs It In case of accident.
The Housewife needs it for general family use.
The Cannier needs It for his teams and his men.
The Mechanic needs it always on hit work
bench.
The Miner needs It In case of emergency.
The Pioneer needs It—can’t get along without It.
The Farmer needs It In his bouse, his stable,
and his stock yard.
The Steamboat man or the Boatman needs
It In liberal supply afloat and ashore.
The Horse-fancier need* It—it Is his best
friend and safest reliance.
The Stock-grower needs It—it will save him
thousands of dollars and a world of trouble.
The Railroad man needs It and will need It so
long as his life Is a round of accidents and dangers.
The Backwoodsman needs It. There is noth
ing like It as an antidote for the dangers to life,
iimh and comfort which surround the pioneer.
The Merchant needs It about hia store among
his employees. Accidents will happen, and when
these come the Hustang Liniment Is wanted at once.
Keep a Battle to the House. ’Tls the best of
