had made YOUR fortune, and abandoned their maDufac.
ture to mercensry and unfaithful hands. Under this
impression, l accidentally saw an advertisement of
yours ms New York newspaper, designating spurious
limitations from your own manufacture, by having your
WRITTEN SIGNATURE to each bill of directions.
and that in no instance were the limitations signed with
pen and ink, although a perfect copy in every other
respect. Finding those | had without this test, | be.
gan to suspect that Z" all was not fair in medicine, as
well as in politics. and called at several of our apothe-
carries for your pills, with your written signature. /
found many without this test, but none with it, until l
came to the Messrs. Keerls', who assured me they had
them direct from you. procured a box, and on using
them, found the same effects from them | had always

The A~ntIseptic Dentrifice is exempt from acld ana

enter the composition of tooth powders in common

sccumuIations from the teeth, preserves the natural
sweetness of the breath. Price 50 cents.

when first made and prepared this Ointment. and
had. in several instances. experienced It's good effects,
I sent it to several physicians, with instructions In what
cases to apply it, who were of opinion that the Oint-
ment would be a valuable public benefit. | concluded
that the Ointment would occasionally fall into many
hands, some of whom would probably undertake to
make it, and knowing the difficulty of the process-ne-
yertheless, it might be progated in this aduiterated ST.
tuation, as it might in some degree resemble the orlgi-
nal-and in this way its good effects would be oolitera'
ted. Under these considerations, | secured the origi'
nal and certain remedy for those obstinate diseases,
some of which have so long baf1e3 the skill OF me-
dical science:

terminate in ulceiated cancersi

whatever part situate;
9TH letters of allkinds. In this complaint the pa
ticnt, in applying the ointment, must keep the part
out of water;
9th Chilblains or partsaffected ~byfrost.
1t is also one Of the best remedies for burns and
scalds. 1t eases the pain and draws tile hire out IN a
short time.
For infamed women's breasts and giandular swell
lings, it is superior to any medicine yet known to the
! medical faculty. Ii is much safer than mercurlal ap.
plications, Gas it does not contain the smallest atom OF
any preparation of the mineral because it does not
lay the patient liable TO injuryfro exposure to cold.
This Ointment has cured sores of many years stand
ing. Where it is impossible or imprudent to heal the
external sore, in consequence of the bones becoming
carious OF rotten, it will stop the progress of the carries,

SRI do not hesitate to give my most unqualified
appreciation in favor of your valuable Albion Corn
Plaster. BY the use of less than a box, Mrs stoweil
has been cured of a corn on each foot, which had been
exceedingly troublesome and painful for years, and l
think it but %juatice to your inyauabls preparation to
add, (for the encouragement of those who, owing to
repeated disappointments in the various remedies re
sorted to, have finally ~despaired OF a cure,) that your
Plaster cured her corns, after trying other highly re-
commended remedies 30 no purpose; and what in
cresses my confidence in the superiority OF your Plas
ter, is the fact, that it has been used by several of my
n~eighbors with equally good success. (Signeu)
