WORM Ointment.

4 safe and certain cure for Salt Rheum, Tet-
N ter, Scad Head, Ringworm, Barber's and
Prairie Itch, Mage, Old Sores, &c.
1t is highly recommended for open or liberated
Scrofula and Leprosy. No class of diseases have
ever been considered more difficult TO cure than
those of cutaneous kind, and it will be conceded
by all intelligent and candid physicians, that a
knowledge of the nature and successful treatment
of them is very limited and imperfect It is notorious
that many of these disorders have generally re-
sisted all the ordinary means of cure Hence the
opinion so commonly prevalent, that they are in
durable, and it is probable that before the discov
cry and introduction of Beatsons justly celeba-
ted remedy this belief well founded. But
wherever Ibis medicine hiss been known and used,
it has shown this opinion to be erroneous-it has
demonstrated the certainty of radical cure in al
most every case. The proprietor, therefore, con-
siders this ointment as specific for the complaints
above enumerated.
This is no ''quack" remedy but really certain
and speedy it has proved eticacious in every
case, without single exception, for the last three
years, and invariably eradicates it in fourteen
days, however inveterafe or long standing. These
assertions can be verified by reference to the nu
merous respectable families who have seen and
felt its efficacy, and who have, from gratitude
offered their testimonials. 1t leaves neither smell
nor stain, and contains nothing of an inj urious
quality.

MEASLES.
DR.. SMITHS ADVICE.


The Measles appeared in Europe about the
same time with the small pox, and have great
affinity to that disease. They both came from the
same quarter Of the world. both infectious, and
seldom attack the same person but once. The
Measles are most common in the spring season,
and generally disappear in summer. The disease
itself, when properly managed, seldom proves
fatal; but its consequences are often very trouble
