MY OWN CASE.
"Necessity is the mother of inrcntions."

"Necessity is the mother ofinrentions."
In the year 1884, was afflicted with the
Piles, brought on by the liver complaint, and
sedantary habits, as | at that time 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, DR.. R., whose standing as skill
lul practitioner, is unsurpassed il equalled in
that city. My case was internal, and bled
profnsely. DR.. R. advised me To be taken
TO the country, to abstain from eating hearty
food, and 10 take magnesia, a table spoonful
three times day; laccordingy went with
my mother to Norwalk, Connecticut, where
we spent three weeks, following the Doc
tors most excellent advice, but with no ben
eft, when we returned TO Brooklyn. then
commenced a series Of experiments on my
self; bought lniments and electuares,
which were were 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 IFS nature, commenced the
preparation of an ointment for myself; and
after various trials found myself improving
continued its use faithfully, using magnosia
and oil 10 keep my bowels regular, for about
a msnth, when was perfectly cured, and
have not had an attack since. Ofcourse my
curiosity was highly excited to know whether
it wsuld prove cfIicacious on others. |
made some, and when any persons became
afflicted, gave them some; and 10 my sur
prise, il produced a cure in every instance. 30
Mr. Garfield was the man with whom work
ed when was afflicted, and knowing how
bad was, and that | was cured by seme-
thing, applied to me to know what had pro-
duced my cure; gave him some, aud bis
certificate tells the rest. lcontinued 10 give
it away to many, who would use il, and with
like results, as the certificates Of the Hon.
James Watson Riley, and S. G. Cofinbury,
show; and in the fall ofl643, il cured the
Hon. Jacob Brinkerhoff, NJ G., of Ohio, who
urged me strongly 10 offer il 10 the afflictod-
saying, to use his own language, "it is a
public blessing" and suggested the idea of
getting patent for II to protect the afflicted
from imposition by counterieis--and
kindly Offering his services in taking on my
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 tito the afflicted
not as cure all, but with the utmost con
fdence that it will not fail to cure the Piles
in all its FERNS, and thus alleviate much Of
human suffering. ta
