BALM OF GILEAD,
Or Reds Vegetable Lininent & Electua


A MONG the many specifics now offered to
IN the public,.it will perhaps be hardly con-
sidered OF admitted that another can be added
with proprieiy. The subscriber having procur-
ed the above medicine solely for his own use,
had never intended TO have circulated il beyond
his own family circle or neighborhood; but his
experience OF Us salutary effects in innumerabe
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 thai they will find in
il 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 il in many in
stances are perhaps unparalleled in the history Of
medicines. II 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, sTains, sores of almost
every description, swellings, women's sore
breasts, scrofula, ringworms, erysipelas, chilled
feet, crick in the back and all rheumatic afiec-
tions, infaminalions generally, and wounds on
horses, cattle, &c. &c, aud last but not least,
il has been applied with extraordinary success
TO very badly infamed eyes, and the effects in
many instances have been so sudden and extra
ordinary that the subjects have for while been
in doubt whether 20 attribute the cure to the
medicine or supernatural causes. IL will be
found an invaluable remedy to be kept BY all
persons who are liable 10 burns OF scalds BY
their connexion with smiih-shops, foundries,
steamboats, aud steam engines generally.
Many certificates of the superior efficacy Of
this Liniment and Eiectuary might be procured
by asking for, but we shall offer only few,
preferring that the public should prove the eff.
cacy of il by actual experiment, which is the
best evidence.
