BEWARE of the many im- itations of Gros- venor's Bell-cap- sic Plaster. Un- scrupulous drug- gists will sometimes tell you that they have a plaster that is made especially for them, that is quite as good as Grosvenor's Bell-cap-sic, or that they are out of Grosvenor’s Bell-cap-sic, but that they have just the same thing with a different name. Don't be misled by these fraudulent subterfuges ; if your druggist cannot give you the genu- ine article, send 25 cents to the manufacturers direct, and they will send you a plaster, postpaid. They are the best plasters in every way for the quick relief of pain. ‘here are no others so prompt in effect and none so sure to cure as GROSVENOR’S BELL-CAP-SIC PLASTER.
