lIMPO La ANT CURE of INFLAMMATION
.1 of the EYES, by the use of DURKEE's GREEN MOUN-
TAIN VEGETABLE OINTMENT.
" Martha Day, 01 94, High Holborn, states thas she is 14 years of
age, and has been afflicted with sore eyes from her infancy, occa-
sioned by the measles ; and for the last three years has been unable
to distinguish objects with one of her eyes, and has suffered much
pain. She has been under the care of several occulists, particularly
the principal one of the noyal Westminster Ophthalmic Hospital ;
yet the inflammation increased and extended down the side of the
face, producing a hard swelling or tumour just below the jaw-bone.
In this state of disease she was advised to apply Durkee's Green
Mountain Vegetable Ointment ; in a few days the swelling and in-
flammation entirely subsided, and she can now see to read ordinary
print with that eye, the sight of which was considered past restora-
tion."
The distinguishing feature of this ointments is its power in reducing
inflammation ; it is therefore highly beneficial in gout, rheumatism,
erysipelps, bronchitis, ringworm. glandular swellings, and all scrofu-
lous aflections. The proprietors have constined the ointment to
Messrs. H. Preston and Son, 94, Smithfield-bars, London. It is also
sold by Barclay and Son, Farringdon-street ; Sangar, 150, Oxford-
