sold many Liniments within the time, all

Instances Of lis success. An elderly Lady
Of this town who has been troubled with
an affection of the Liver for fifteen gears,
has used 1t for two or three weeks; she in
forms me that she in now nearly welt, and
thinks that a few more bottles of fhe Lini.
ment Will perfect an entire cure.
Another case is Of a young man who
has been troubled with the same disease
for Is months. He has just commenced
the use of ii, and before he had used one
bottle, his side, where he applied the Lin
llnent, became very red, and the morning
that he made the last application of the frsl
bottle he threw up a great quantity Of
matter, and found also that matter had
been thrown off through the pores of the
skin directly over the seat of the disease
AT first he was quite alarmed, and his ia
Their came to me to know whether l tho't

that it was just what the Liniment was de-
signed to Go, as he should have known by
attenllvelv reading the paper accompany
ing each bottle. His fears a. once van
lshed, he took another bottle, and his son
is now eOnralescent.
In numerous cases Of obstinate Rheu>
matism, il has been equally successful.
