VWyHE day will come when this medicine will he
LII pronounced capahe of doing more good than
any,five medicines before the public. Atpresent.1
il Is but partially KNOWN the half has never been
told. But whenit shall betested in all the various
departments of sickness and disease; hen its won-
derlul virtues shall be developed; its powers over
the maadies of men seen and felt, then 1t will be
ackno ,yledged that6l .iiisttf's M Healing Oint
nent has power to cure more diseases than any five
medicines before the world. This will appear plain
| upoti moments reflection There are two prom
inent reasons for this assertion: p jt9.s sd 4.
| Ist That by opening the pores Of the skin, it
removes all hindraices to the ful and free charge
! of the insensibe perspirahon, and thus removes
the grand cause of nine.tenths OF the diseases IN
| this world, and it is therefore as applicable 10 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 lnsensible Precipitation, in
other words IN "takng cold" ..''i - '''si'' ~"
I'd. That for almost every disease, there is a
specific remedy; and although there are legion !
| of them, recommended for the cure of the same
particular diseases, yet how seldom Is it that one
. out Ot nNn0TJO uU any gODu WidteFeT'
therefore Of being under the necessity of applying
great variety of cures, the success in each of
which is doubtful the Al-Healing Ointment takes
the place of them all; and by its action upon the
skin throws open the doors for the escape of all
the humors within. To make this appear plain 10
all, suppose person is afflicted with Cough, or
a Cold, or Consumption, or Liver Complalnt!-
He seeks variety OF inward remedies but IN no
one does he find relief. unless it is capable of
forcing of perspraton, which is but a momentary
relief, as the pores again close the moment the ef
feet of the medicine has ceased
1t NAV be said with TRUTH that all inward reme-
dies fail Of curing these complaints six if moi eight
times in ten, the world over: and yet medicine
that will not at least half the cases 1t applied
to, we call poor remedy.
), Now what is the cause of the above complaints:
We an. wer checked perspration, in other words,
"catching cold.' The skin them 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 lnsensible PerspiTation
freely and fuy hot all the medicines in the world
will save the consumptve from the grave. To
make our words true, let us quote from celebrat-
ed southern doctor, who wrote labored treatise
on Pulmonary Consumption. He says:--" Bullet
us return TO the consideration of the indications OF
cure: it is simply this. the restoration ofthe In
sensible Perspration In other words, TO excite
natu,al healthy action ofth skin. This is all that
is required for the cure of 999 cases out of every
thousand"
Fevers, also, and nearly every of tnflama-
!, ton of the bowels, or of the stomach or lungs is
the diract resulto' 'hecked perspiratoh. Besides
these, we may MALE diseases of the spine and OF
Il the nerves, rheumatism, fever sores; diseases OF
the chest such as asthma ightness ofbIeath, palms,
weakness, dyspepsia; also constipation OF the bow
els croop cutaneous eruptions, and all diseases oil
the skin; in short, nine-tenths of the diseases in
our country, are produced by this nne thing
checked perspiration If it is not serious at frs,
it finally settles upon some vital organ, when II is
almost certain to result in death, unless it is re.
moved. -' ''!. ~.
The only advantage the All Healing Ointment
has aver other remedies, lies in the one thing
the restoration Of the lnsensbe Preparations
When this is done, the humors and impurities new
er remain to do injury. This will bsseen by con-
9 tempatng the following facts: ..afl. ,u
n lst That fve.eights of all we receive in the
stomach pass of through the pores Of the skin. in
n Insensible Precipitation a ....l. a..
I'd. That the skin evacuates more matter than
the lungs, kidneys. and bowels, put together. lll d

twenty.four hours than the bowels do in IA days!
and that by exercise, man VIII lose three

. 4th That the Creator pierced the human cuti.
Gle with pores or small openings to the almost IN
8 credible number of 500 million, making this the
Grand outlet of all the redundant mtter Of the body.

e exuding the DID, filtered and wornout particles of
/ the blood, the humors Of the body, and the waste
