DEAR SIR:-"SceinG the many certificates with
which your Patent Ointment has been recommended
to the public, it would seem be surperhuous for me
TO attempt tn give another But when reflect upon
the many impostions, the public has received, can
but justify their Incredibly and knowing that in the
multiplicity OF witnesses that people will be inclined
10 rely, and believing the very superior virtue of your
Ointment as remedy for white swelng-I therefore
offer the following short certificate viz:On the tenth
day of November last my wife delivered of a fine
boy and TO all appearances likely do wel-but
about the 10th she began to complain of violent
pain in her left hp and il sweed from her hip
to her ancie to sarming size. I purchased jug
of N. Shepherds Patent Specific Ointment of MIR.
Elisha jackson, applied two piasters at time
on her thigh and her leg, each extending near
~ around them. Upon applying the first p'asters, 10
few moments she stated IL appeared to feel like
there were small needles passing from the bone the
SKIN, IN half an hour she commenced a most agreea-
BILE perspira,ion, became quit easy of the pain and
had agreeable nights rest which she had not en-
Joyed for several days before. The next evening
removed the first plaster, which found had much
abated the swelling then applied two other plais
tiers which entirely relieved her that time Howe
ver in few days she began to complain of the small
Of her back and her right leg. Immediately applied
The ointment to them and it had all the desired effect
and she is now in good health. Had wiihyour
Ointment, il might have n many n doctors visit
and much costly medicine to purpose Yours with
much respect, "ROBERr r. WHITE"
