SHERMANS POOR MAYS PLASTER.

The best strengthening plaster in the world, and sovereign remedy for palms, or weakness Tn the back, lons, sides, breas neck, limbs, joints, rheumatism, lumbago, &c. &c.. One million year will not sup ply the demand. Warranted superior 10 all others and for one quarter the usual price, making not only the bes but the cheapest plaster in the world. It affords relief in few hours, and makes astonishing cures.
 Joseph w. Hoxie, Esq, who had been so afflicted with rheumatism, as to be unable to dress himself without assistance, was enabled after wearing one only night to get up alone in the morning, put his clothes and call at office with eyes beamng with joy and his tongue pouring forth the gadness of his hear at tho sudden and signal relief he had re- ceived from this best of all remedies.
 Mr. Daniel Williams, of EZabethtown, N. J., an old Revolutionary solder was so afflicted with rheu- matism that he could scarcely help himself-these Plasters entirely cured him. Thousands of certi6- but the fact of the enormous quantity sold, must be the greatest evidence of their virtue. Directions printed on the back of each plaster, with fac simile of the name thus, A. SHERMAN, M; D. Be partic- that it is printed the back, as there several base limitations hawked about and often palmed of as Sherman's Pasters, when they are altogether worthless No other person can make the genuine, so be particular when you purchase.
 Always be particular to enquire for Shermans . lo- zenges or Pasers and see that you do not have any other article palmed off upon you.
