PAiiSS Has proved to be one of the most useful remedies yet put on tbe market, and is used by the leading physicians with excellent results. PANGO 'will give almost instant relief to those suffering from Neuralgia, Head-ache and Rheumatism. For Colds PANGO will be found very useful. The cold can be checked before the case has developed by using PANGO. Apply PANGO to the outside of the nose and apply as often as circumstances seem to warrant. It may be used on the inside of the nostrils where the skin is not broken. This might be followed by an uncomfortable sensation, which will pass awaj quickly. PANGO may also be used on the chest. For Tooth-ache apply PANGO externally to the face where the pain is felt, or to the gums. This may give a smarting sen- sation for a few minutes, followed by relief. PANGO may also be put on a small piece of absorbent cotton and put in the tooth. PANGO will also give relief to those suffering from Chapped Hands, Frost Bites, Chilblains, Shingles, Stings of Insects, Mos- quito Bites, Varicose Veins, Muscular Fatigue, AlTectiona of the Throat, Gout, Lumbago and Sprains.
