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 il will be conceded
by all intelligent and candid physicians, that
knowledge of the nature and successful treatment
of them is very limited and imperfect 1t 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 Beatson's justly celebra-
ted remedy this belief was 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-
sders this ointment as specific for the complaints
above enumerated
This is no "quack" remedy, but really certain
md speedy cure: it has proved eficacious in every
case, without single exception, for the last three
years, and invariably eradicates it in fourteen
days, however nveterate 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
