i IMPORTANT DISCOVER Y .--SoRH AND
IL INrLAMED EYES CUREp without pain or the
application Of vitriol, and without the least in
luring the sight or appearance Of the eye, by
y. Dean's Chemical Plaster. 1t is now about
four years since the proprietor introduced this
plaster to the attention Of the afflicted. Its
effect Is not only to prevent inflammation in Sc
we're cases Of burns and wounds Of every de-
scrption but to cure inflammation both internal
|and external sat any stage Of its existence.
Its uniform effect in hundreds Of cases abun-
dainty proves that, as yet, no omedicine has been
introduced TO the public possessing such pow
ler TO cure infammatory diseases Of every kind,
not excepting infainmatory rheumatism, salt
sheum, fellons, fever sores, cancers or the In
nation in the eyes; as the plaster now Of
Efered. One very peculiar quality Of ii ls, that
it generally relieves sthespain in a few hours
after tits applied. For sore eyes shut the eye
and put the platter directly on the eye and
wear it (removing it tonce in twelve hours and
washing off the matter on the eye with cas-
tile soap, u till the inflammation is entirely out,
say from three to ten days. The proprietor
never thought of applying it to sore eyes,un-
til about two years since, when he applied il
to a case in his family and was astonished at
the result. Since then he has applied it in ma
| ny severe cases and 1t has uniformly effected \
cure and leaves the eye natural and free from
any infammatory appearance as though It had
not been sore. He fully believes that almost
every case Of sore eyes may cured by it ina
few days, except in cases Of intemperance.
| CERTIFICATES tas

ical plaster in six cases of fellons, all Of which
