In the yesrsls34, was afflicted with The
Piles, brought on by the liver complaint, and
sedaniary habits, as | at tina, lime was learn
ing the jewelry business in the city Of New
York. The disease soon became so painful
that was forced to leave the shop for my
bed, went home, (my parents then living
in Brooklin, L. I.,) and employed our family
physician, DIR. R., whose standing as a skill
full practitioner, is unsurpassed il equalled in
that city. My case was internal, and bled
profusely. DR.. r. advised me 10 be taken
to the country, TO abstain from eating hearty
food, and to take magnesia, table spoonful
three times day; accordingly went with
my mother 10 Norwalk, Connecticut, whero
we spent three weeks. following the Doc
tors most excellent advice, but with no ben
eft, when we returned 10 Brooklyn. i then
commenced series Of experiments on my.
self; bought liniments and eleciuaries,
which were wore highly recommended, and
used them, my disease growing worse, if
possible, from the irritation they produced
then procured from my old medical library,
works treating upon the disease, read them
and after learning its nature, commenced the
preparation of an ointment for myself; and
after various trials found m, self improving
continued its use faithfully, using, magnesia
and oil TO keep my bowels regular, for about
msnth, when was perfectly cured, and
have not had an attack since. Ofcourse my
curiosity was highly excited to know whether
it would prove efficacous on Others

ed when was afflicted, and knowing how
bad was, and that was fcuied by some
thing, applied to me to know what had pro-
duced my cure; gave him some, and his
certificate tells the rest. I continued 10 give
it away TO many, who would use ii, and with
like results, as the certificates of tile Hon.
James Watson Riley, and s. G. Coffinbary,
show; and in the fall ofls43, il cured the
Hon. Jacob .Brinkerhoff, M. c., Of Ohio, who
urged me strongly to offer it to the afflicted
saying, 40 use his own language, DIT is
public blessing" and suggested the idea of
getting a patent for u 70 protect the afflicted
from imposition BY counterfeils--and
kindly Offering his services in taking on my
application, which ! accepted, and having
tried the ointment in so many cases with
perfect success during the last ten, years.,
believed i, my duty to offer it to the afflicted
not as cure all, but with the utmost con-
fdence that it will not fail to cure the Piles
in all its forms, and thus alleviate much of
human suffering. 'st't'-
