Sloan's Liniment is the best remedy for sprains
and bruises.
It quiets the pain at once, and can be applied to the
tenderest part without hurting because it doesn't need
to be rubbed — all you have to do is to lay it on
lightly. It is a powerful preparation and penetrates
instantly — relieves any inflammation and congestion,
and reduces the swelling.
Sloan's
Liniment
is an excellent antiseptic and germ
killer — heals cuts, burns, wounds and
contusions, and will draw the poison
from sting of poisonous insects.
