To T. r. PErERsoS. No. gS Chestnut ~Sireet,-Having
been requested TO give my opinion GU the merits ct
McALLISTER'S SALNE, ! am willing 10 enumerate
some of the benefits which ! conceive ! have eAperien-
ced IN the use of the article.
In the Spring of 1s45 | had an attack OF Erosipelas in
my face, which became very painful, and extended INTO
one of my eyes; being attended with fever, my distress
was great. and | began to I've ieariui OF losing my eye
4 short time previous To TINS, a pamphlet was thrown
into my house. entitled ""INSENSlBLE PERSPlRA
TON" setting forth tho virtues of McALLiSIERS
or the WORLDS SAbNE."
Although not much a believer in what is termed quack
medicines. purchased u box and made an application
to my face. To my surprise the pain soon ahaied, and
in a weeks time / was entirely cured; and firmly be
lieve, that it was the Salve under Providence that cured
me.
From that time to the present have used the article
as occasion required, and IN every case where l nave
used il, | have found a decided heneht.
Al one time, on going to bed atuight my throat was so
sore that | swallowed with difficulty, hut lay an appiIca-
ton of the Salve | was relieved before morning.
| have used it in cases OF Burns. Bruises, Sprains and
Flesh Cuts, all with the happiest effects, aud enc case of
poisoning by 4 wild vine in the woods, has been dried
up and cured by a few applications.
From my own experience. / would strongly recon-
mend il to all. as a cheap, convenient family medicine.
II seems TO paTtake more of an ointment than a salve,
and in very hot weather II gets quite hqule; hence, II
requires no preparation other then 10 rub it on the atiiicI
ed part.
Ihave become so partialt to it. that | expect to keep it
constantly IN Ipy family.
Though unamdiuous to appear in print, yet ] cannot
refuse 10 have this communication made pubnc, if Judged
hest 10 serve the cause of humanity.
Respectfully thine. WIN. ADAMS.
