1,4 Among the various disorders of the Mouth, there is none
"destructive than Scurvy, which on first entering the Gums
gases them to bleed on the most trifling occasions, and yro-
44!es the most offensive and frequently putrid breath. A

sbn this subject a distinguished Lecturer makes the following
vt7rvations:_4, When the disgusting effects of this accumn-

FEAVER'S INFALLIBLE EMBROCA-
TION for GOUT, RHEUMATISNI, RHEUMA-
TIC GOUT, TIC DOULOREUX, LUMBAGO, SCIA-
TICA, RHEUMATIC FEVER, QUINSEY, &c., is now
for the first time introduced to the notice of the public; al-
though in the present. age of imposture it is difficult tie put for-
ward a truth, however important, that shall not be liable to be
confounded with the daily empirical puffs that are obtruded on
tke public eye. This consideration has for a long time deterred
the proprietor of Feaver's Embrocation from advertising it.
Felling, however, a thorough conviction of the incalculable be-
nefits it will confer on mankind, he conscientiously believes
that, by withholding it longer, he would be wanting in the com-
mon feelings of humanity towards his fellow creatures, and of
duty towards himself. Ile, therefore, no longer hesitates to
adept this mode of making this wonderful remedy generally
known, that the afflicted may have an opportunity of enjoying
the blessings it offers them. This specific was revealed to the
proprietor's father twelve years ago, who then cured him-
self of a very obstinate case of inflammatory gout of thirty
ears' standing, and although on that occasion he has] been
confined to his bed-room for two months, he was enabled to
walk two miles within six hours after the application. Since
that period thousands, from the noble to the peasant, have been
cured by it. In short, it is no exaggeration to assert that it has
never been known to fail in effecting a cure, where the proprie-
tor's instructions have been attended to. Its extraordinary
efficacy has been for years tested by several medic
be al gentlemen
of distinguished eminence, who declare it to the greatest
discovery every made in medical science. The superiority it
possesses over every other remedy consists in its being
withan in-
noxions vegetable compound, in the perfect security
which it may ke used (outwardly) by the most afflicted and
timid patient, and in the certainty of its brig a sound, safe,
and radical exterminator of the above-named maladies in all
their terrible and agonizing forms. Original testimonials in
confirmation are in the hands of the Proprietor, Nos. 2 and 3,
