MONG the many specifics now offered to
N the public, it will perhaps be hardly CON
sidered or admitted that another can be added
with propriety. The subscrberhaving procur-
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 its 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 to the public, believing that they will find in
it an invaluable friend, as a remedy for almost
all external complaints, not only for the human
species, but also for the brute creation. The
immediate action and effect of it 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 almost 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 affec-
tions, innamnations generally, and wounds on
horses, cattle &c. &C., and last but not least,
it has been applied with extraordinary success
to very badly inhamed eyes, and the effects in
many instances have been so sudden and extra
ordinary that the subjects have for a while been
in doubt whether to attribute the cure to the
medicine or supernatural causes. Ii will be
found an invaluable remedy to be kept by all
persons who are liable 10 burns or scads by
their connection with smith-shops, foundries,
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 eff
cacy of it by actual experiment, which is the
best evidence.
