All of which they sell cheap but misd you for CASH!

safe and certain cure for 81

A safe and certain cure for Salt Rheum, Tet-

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 q cutaneous kind and it will be conceded
by all intelligent and candid physicians, that
knowledge Of the nature and successful treatment
of them is very limited and imperfect II is notorious
that many of these disorders have generally re-
sisted all the ordinary means of cure. Hence the
opinion commonly prevalent, that they are in.
durable, and it is probable that before the dscoy
cry and introduction of Beatson's Justly ceebra.
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 all
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 cure: it has proved eficacous in every
case, without single exception, for the last three
years, and invariably eradicates it in fourteen
days, however inveterate 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 injurious
quality.
