EEBREW W PLASTER.

WNliIS Recipe, obtained of an old Jew by trav-
IN cller in the Eastern countries, bids fair to be
of immense value to the Western world. Since
this plaster has been introduced into America,
every other plaster, salve, ointment or lima
ment has been discontinued by all who have had an
opportunity Of testing the superior medical virtues
of the Jew Davids or Hebrew Plaster. Truth,
though simple, is powerful, and will prevail with
enlightened community, over all the puflings and
fictitious afidavis with which the world is flooded
The sterling worth Of this plaster is ,ognsed, ap
preciated, and its use sanctioned by the highest
classes of society. One simultaneous burst of APP
probation arises from the thousands who have used
it, which shows that when remedy possesses high
y intrinsic merits like this, it does rot fail of re-
ceiving the patronage of our intelligent public.
