THE GREEN MOUNTAIN vEGETA.
BILE OINTMENT.

A Il the present day, when loud pretensons are
IA put forth for medicines and ointments Of but
little value, the public should no longer be kept in
ignorance of an article possessing the extraordinary
curative properties Of the GREEN MOUNTAIN
VEGETABLE OINTMENT.
For few years past the proprietor of this ONT
ment has RETAINED from advertising it, thereby
filming its use within comparatively narrow limits But
the most extraordinary cures it has performed, sur
prising even TO the medical faculty, and the greatly
increasing demand for it, require that adequate
means be taken to introduce 1t throughout the
United States. The proprietor is now establishing
agencies in every principal city, town. and village,
in the Union, so that this most extraordinary and
unrvalled ointment can be resorted to by every
one
This ointment derives its principal efficacy from
a vegetable, procured on the Green Mountains
Of Vermont where il was mercifully placed by the
kind hand Of Providence, and was in general use
by the aboriginees of the country as sovereign
remedy in numerous diseases. Ii Is well known
that the Indians were formerly far more successful
in the treatment of inhammatory diseases than the
most skilful and learned white men. The reason of
this was that they sought out in the Vegetable
World those remedies which the Creator knew were
best adapted to them. Taught thus by the unerrins
wisdom Of the God Of nature, they triumphed over
diseases which then baled the skill Of the best ply
sicians, and which continue to battle them 10 the
present time.
In the application of this remedy, the aborigines
enwrapped their feet and limbs in the leaves Of the
plant, (and in violent cases, the entire body, with
covering of wild animals skins over the whole.
They then lay down before good fire, with their
feet toward it, continuing there until profuse
perspiration was produced, and perfect healthy
action restored to the functions of the body. In
few hours, the most violent inhammatory diseases
were subdued, and the severest swellings, wounds,
and bruises were reduced and quoted, and speedy
cure made certain.
