Fishers Corn Plaster.

EENIIIS justly celebrated Plaster possesses
properties which afford immediate relief
to the afflicted, and at once soothes the excru-
eating pain caused by inflammation, frequent
y attending on corns. 1t effects cure in a
few days. By application of the Plaster, ac-
cording to directions, the corr. is softened and
drawn out by the roots without pain and with
out the trouble and danger of extracting the
corn by cutting or caustic.
The proprietor has frequently applied the
plaster, and has. never failedto effect azure
IN some instances, IN as short a period as 48
hours.
A gentleman III Boston was troubled with a
corn for nearly 30 years, which was cured by
the above plaster, in a few days, all other al-
phcations having failed to produce the desir-
ed effect.
a gentleman IN New York was sorelv af-
ficted and quite lame, from a bad corn. which
was cured By four applications Of the above
plaster.
Numerous other testimonials can lie offered
to corroborsfe the above statements but Il Is
entirely unnecessary to chronicle a LONG sheet
of certificates. The use Of this plaster VIII
convince the most incredulous that it issuperi-
or to any article for similar purposes ever offer
ed to the public.

THHE Chemical Pile Ointment, for the cure

In this country, and foreigners, who have made
use of it, say there is nothing in Europe like it.
1t is an emolient, and at once soothing applica-
ton, giving immediate ease and tranquility to
the patient when laboring under this torment
ing disease. It's put upin beautiful Porcelain
Pots, imported from France, especially for the
purpose, accompanied with copious directions
for use, in the severest cases.

Chest or Lungs, as Coughs, Colds, I1aaueuzas.
Asthuaas, CutorrhS, Hectic FeUerS, Splitting Of
Blood and other diseased distractions and ir
rifafions Of the respiratory system.
The formula for this preparation of medi-
cine is by that eminent medical gentleman, N
Chapman, NJ. ID professor of the institutes and
practice of medicine in the University ofPenn-
sylvania, physician to the Hospital, and phila-
delphia Almshouse and Infirmary.
The Cough Mixture has been In use several
years, and It's success is so much greater than
any other article in the market that we do not
hesitate to recommendita as the most eficaeions
medicine forcoughs and affections ofthe lungs
generally, now ii use.
It's proper to add thatfhe Cough Mixture
does not contain opium in any form whatever,
lwhichis productive of bad effects by continued
use, and toe often constitutes the basis Of the
popular cough preparations Of the day.
The number Of does each bottle contains Is
double to that of any other article offered to the
public, and renders It far less expensive to the
purchaser than any other medicine now IN use
