PERSPIRATION.

a laIS =
VUyHE day will come when this medicine will Re
pronounced capable of DANG more good than
any five medicines before the public. At present,
it is but partially known; the half has never been
told. But when it shall be tested in all the various
departments OF sickness and disease; when its won
derful virtues shall be developed; it, powers over
the maladies of men seen and felt. then 1t will be
acknowledged that M .dister's .aH-H Healing Oiat-
ment has power to cure more diseases than any five
medicines before the world. This will appear plain
upon a moments reflection. There are two prom
inent reasons for this assertion:
LIST. That by opening the pores of the skin, it
removes all hindrances to the full end free charge
Of the insensible perspiration, and thus removes
the grand cause of nine.tenths Of the diseases in
this world, and it is therefore as applicable to one
disease as another, to the Liver Complaint, Con-
sumption and Dyspepsia, as the Sick Headache
and Ague in the Face, or to the Asthma, Coughs,
Fevers and Bowel Complaints, as the Quincy, Sore
Throat, Bronchitis and Group, for they are all
caused by checking the Insensible Perspiration, in
other words, IN "taking cold"
I'd. That for almost every disease, there il a
specific remedy; and although there are a legion
Of them recommended for the cure Of the same
particular diseases, yet how seldom il it that one
out Of a hundred do any goDd whatever. Instead,
therefore, Of being under the necessity Of applying
a great variety of cures, the success in each Of
which is doubtful, the All Healing Ointment takes
the place of them all; and by its action upon the
skin, throws open the doors tor the escape Of all
the humors within. To make this appear plain to
all, suppose a person is afflicted with a Cough. or
a Cold, or Consumption, or Liver Complaint
He seeks a variety of inward remedies, but in no
one does he find reliei, unless it is capable Of
forcing off perspiration, which is but o momentary
relief, as the pores again close the moment the eff
feet OF the medicine has ceased.
1t NAV be said with truth, that all inward reme-
dies fail of curing these complaints six if not eight
times in ten, the world over; and yet a medicine
that will not cure at least half the cases it is applied
to, we call a poor remedy.
Now WHAT is the cause of the above complaints?
We answer, checked perspiration, in other words,
"catching cold" The skin then, and not the in.
ternal organs, is out of order. And we assert that
unless the skin is brought into healthy activity,
and made to eliminate the Insensible Perspiration
freely and fully, hot all the medicines in the world
will save the consumptive from the grave. To
make our words true, let us quote from a celebrat-
ed southern doctor, who wrote a labored treatise
an Pulmonary Consumption. He says:-'Butl let
us return to the consideration of the indications of
a cure; it is simply this: the restoration of the In
sensible Perspiration. In other words, to excite a
natui al healthy action Of the skin. This is all that
is required for the cure of 500 cases out Of every
thousand"
Fevers, also, and nearly every case of infama-
ton of the bowels, or of the stomach or lungs, is
the diract result of checked perspiration. Besides
+ these, we may name diseases Of the spine and OF
the nerves, rheumatism, fever sores; diseases Of
the chest, such as asthma, ~tightness o~fbreath, pains,
weakness, dyspepsia; also constipation OF the bow.
els, croop, cutaneous eruptions, and all diseases OF
the skim; in short, nine-tenths Of the diseases ir
our country, are produced by this one thing
checked perspiratipn. If ii is not serious at hrst
: it finally settles upon some vital organ, when 1t Il
almost certain to result in death, unless it is re
moved.
The only advantage the All Healing Ointment
has over other remedies, lies in the one thing
the restoration Of the Insensible Preparations
When this is done, the humors and impurities new.
r err remain to do injury. This will be seen by con,
e templating the following facts:
LIST. That fve-eights of all we receive in the
: stomach, pass Oft through the pores OF the skin, IN
t Insensible Precipitation.
I'd. That the skin evacuates more matter thar
d the lungs, kidneys, and bowels, put together,
Sd. That the skin discharges more matter In
twenty-four hours than the bowels do in IA days
e and that by severe exercise, a man will lose three
four and even five pounds in one hour; !.
4th. That the Creator pierced the human cut
. Gle with pores or small openings to the almost IN
credible number of 500 million, making this tn
grand outlet of all the redundant inter ofthe body
y 9Th. That through these pores are constantly
0 exuding the old, filtered and wornout PARTICLES o
the blood, the humors of the body, and the vast
J, ofthe system. :,
9th. That to stop up these pores "a hours woul'
r cause instant death;
T 9TH. That sudden changes Of weather and ex
!, posure to cold, close these pores in that part, ant
n hence the long catalogue of diseases over the land
g 9Th. That the skin is the medium for evacua
ting all the humors of the body, we see the pro
r found folly and absurdity of resorting to pills, drug
and other mixtures to cure the great majority Q
diseases produced by checked preparation.
9th. That until September, 1874. there was n
y medicine before the public that had power to re
store the Insensible Precipitation, by imparting Vi
N tality and nervous energy to the skin.
10Th. That Nc '.Aiisteys An Healing Ointme,
is that medicine, and which, by possessing thi
IN power, is e~ffecting more good than any five c
lie ten remedies in this country.
