Bv applying to the maker of it, he will prepare it

account of lis introduction into this country will
be read with interest:
The late James Dole, Esq. Of Troy, was the
person who introduced this celebrated remedy
into extensive use in this vicinity. During the
revolutionary war, Mr. Dole was an officer in a
troop oicavalry-was attacked with the small poX
in a very severe manner. While he was conval-
scent, but as yet perfectly blind, he was led out
of the Hospital, when he was met by German
woman, who promised to cure him on condition
that he should never reveal the composition OF the
Eye Water unless upon his dcath-hed. These
facts Mr.. Dole has communicated to me; and,
after urgent solicitations has uniformly refused
to communicate the secret to me. MIR. Dole died
in Troy, in S2i, and a few days previous to his
deccasc, revealed the composition to the wife OF
his son.
M. WELLS, Druggist, Troy, y. "
This may certify that have, for the last 10
wears, known Dolc's Eye Water to be clectually
applied to the cure of chronic affections of the
eye, and in one instance, have known person
who had been totally blind for months, to be
entirely cured by its application alone.

Mtssrs. Harris & Co.-Sirs: Since | was Of
your store in July last, | have used T.. Deans
Chemical Plaster, which have received from
you at different times, and feel myself in duty
bound to you as propretors, and 10 the public
generally, to recommend the same as safe anc
cilicacious remedy for those complaints for which
ii is recommended. lhavc used it in several case,
of niamed eyes, in some of which its effects as
curative have been decided, and in 10 case has il
failed of giving relief where it has been applied
according to directions, and all who have used il
are perfectly satisfied with it SO far as know
have also applied it in some severe cases otague
in the breast with the happiest effects.
| would also relate the case Of Nir. Thomas
Logan. who has been afflicted with the rhfuma-
tism in one hip for thirteen years, so that he had
been compelled to abandon labor, in great mea-
sure. | let him have a box of the Plaster, he
applied it, and for three days found, as he sup
posed, benefit, but after that he perceived that
the pain was not so severe and in less than two
weeks he could labor hard all day and rest free
from pain at night. He saws he would not part
with the box he has for three hundred dollars
providing he could not obtain another He also
says to me, keep it on hand and recommend il
wherever YOU go.
