Or Rcid's Vegetable Linimenf a. Eiectnary.
A MONG The many specifics now offered Ia
| IN the public, II will perhaps be hardly con
sdered or admitted that another can be added
with propriety. 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 It's salutary effects in innumerable
instances and the daily numerous calls from
The Public, aud the advice Of his friends, rem
der an apology scarcely necessary for Offering
il to the public, believing that 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 aud effect Of il in many in
stances are perhaps unparalleled in the history Of
medicines. IL will be found an invaluable
medicine TO be kept in every family as 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, scroiula, ringwouns erysipelas, chilled
feet, crick in the back and all rheumatic alice
tions, inhaminalions generally, and wounds on
horses, cattle, &c. &C., and last but not least,
it 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 10 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 to buf8s OF scalds by
their connexion 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 a few,
preierring that the public should prove the eff
cscy OF il by actual experiment, which is the
best evidence.
