For FIVE or six years previous to the Spring of
1884, Negro man of mine had been much Attic
ted with liberated arm and hand, which rem
dered him almost useless The ulcer embraced
that part Of his arm from the elbow down. inclu-
ding his entire hand, which was literally a mass
of pntrefactiou. A Joint of one finger, and part
of the thumb, persisted and dropt Off more
distressing and hopeless case have never beheld.
II was abandcred by bis physicians incurable,
except by the amputation of the hand.
The best medical treatment having failed to re-
llese the man. placed him under the care of Mr..
William w Gray, in this place, who, with his
Ointment, has efectually cured the case, slthough
the Negro was frequently absent for weeks and
months together. He has been entirely well for
the last eight months, and have good reason to
believe will continue so.

gislature OF Pennsylvania granted at It's late ses-
