RED PEPPER HEAT
STOPS BACKACHE
The heat of red peppery takes the
“ouch" from a sore, iame back. It;
can not hurt you, and it certainly
ends the torture at once.
When you are suffering so you
tan hardly get around, just try Red
Pepper Rub, and you will have tlie,
quickest relief known. Nothing has:
such concentrated, penetrating heat
as red peppers.
Just as noon ns you apply Red
Pepper Rub you will feel the ting
ling heat. In three minutes it
warms the sore spot through and!
through. Pain and soreness are gone. I
Ask any druggist for a jar of
Rowles Red Popper Rub. Be sure
to get the genuine, with the numo
Rowles on each package.
