SrT. JEANS METrALINE GALVANl
- STRENGTHENING PLASTER.--The 70
lowing article is copied from the Brooklyn Star
in which paper it appeared editorially. The repu-
tation of the Rev DIR. Cox, is sufficient to warrant
the public that, far he is concerned this test
monal in favor of the galvanic plaster IS entirely
free from deception; and, in fact, all of the certf-
obtained for these plastcrs of the most
exceptionable character
eve take pleasure in referring our readers to the
following certificate, in connection with the adver-
tisement in our columns to-day. Emanating as it
does, from the good heart and sound head of gen.
tleman so well and fnvorably known in this COM
munity as the Rev. s. H. Cox, d. D., of this city,
any commentator of ours would be wholly super
huous. The certificate itself, in connection with
Of others of like character, speaks for ITSELF
and sceptics have only to see, examine, and judge
for themselves.
81 have had the pleasure and the profit approving
lately the value Of the galvanic strengthening
plaster in its application near my right shoulder,
where felt novel sensation of rheumatism. 1t
seems well adapted to its end; and without knowl-
edge fits constituent properties, caring scientific
ally about its chemical or galvanic action, | am
happy, from experience, to commend its sanative
virtues to all with whom my may possibly
have influence, as safe, neat protecting, pleasant,
and eficacious preparation of the sort; which, with
out any disparagement Of others, may be safely and
appropriately praised on its own account
