BALM OF GILEAD,

Or Reid,s Vegetable Liniment a. Electuary'
A MONG the many specifics now offered TO
N the public, il will perhaps be hardly con-
sidered or admitted that another can be adoeu
with propriety. The subscriberhavIng procuF-
ed the above medicine solely for his own use,
had never intended to have circulated it beyond
his own family circle or neighborhood; but his
experience of It's salutary effects in innumerable
instances and the daily numerous calls from
the Public, and the advice of his friends, rem
der an apology scarcely necessary for Offering
IL 10 the public, believing that they will find IN
il an invaluable friend, as remedy for almost
all external complaints, not only for the human
speces. but also for The brute creation. The
immediate action and effect of il in many in
stances are perhaps unparalleled in the history OF
medicines. 1t will be found an invaluable
medicine TO be kept in every family as a ready
remedy for air ST all external complaints that
families are Subject to such as burns, scalds,
freezes. cuts bruises, sprains, sores OF almost
every description, swellings, women's sore
breasts, scrofula, ringworms, erysipelas, chilled
feet. crick in the back and all rheumatic alice
tons. innamlnations generally, and wounds on
| horses cattle. &c. &c, aud last but not least,
il has been applied with extraordinary success
! to very badly innamed eyes, and the effects in
many instances have been so sudden and extra
ordinary that the subjects have for while been
in doubt whether to attribute the cure to the
medicine or supernatural causes. IL VIII be
found an invaluable remedy to be kept by all
persons who are liable 10 burns or scalds by
their connection with smih-shops, ioundries,
steamboats, and steam engines generally.
MANY certificates Of the superior efficacy Of
this Liniment and Electuary might be procured
by asking for but we shall offer only few
preferring that the public should prove the ELI
cacy of ii BY actual experiment, which is tht
best evidence.
