RESCUE TO THE AFFLICTED The Celebrated Jew David's OF
 HEBREW PLASTER

4 Certain Remedy for FIXED Pains q
 The Side, Chest, Loins, Buck, Bowels
 Muscles, Rheumatism in aH its rariou
 forms, Nervous A6ections, Lung ant
 Liper Complaints, Spinal A6ectioas, Fe
 male Weaknesses, 3.c., 8c.
 EyOR THE ABOVE COMPLAINTS E this Plaster has no equal. The grea celebrity which it has already acquired, no only in the old but the new world, the ex traordinary cures il has performed in the most extreme cases of suffering, have ac. quired for it such reputation, that the pro prietol has not, until recently, been able te supply halfthe demand. The sales through out every town and village in the United States, are without parallel! A circum stance not at all surprising when the vas amount of human suffering relieved by its use is considered. In spinal defects the benefit usually is of the most decided char acter. In nerrous complaints, nineteen ca. ses out of twenty readily yield to the pen. etrating slimula combined in this valuable preparation.
 In Rheumatism, either acute or chronic the claims the Hebrew Plaster have long SiuCt USCu ubisrisdHJ uthHoNiNuSCu.- Those who are laboring under weak backs no matter from what cause the weakness may have originated, (even fl such person have been misguided in previous appica- tions) in the use or the Hebrew Plaster they will find the affected part suddenly restored to it's original soundaess.
 As support in cases of constitutiona qreakness, it will be found of great advan- tage it is particularly recommended to Fe males who are suffering from sudden weak. ness or general debility. In short it embra. ces all the virtues which the most scieniif, ic mind was capable of compromising from valuable substance found in the old world and will be found entirely free from those objections which are source of complaint with the numerous spread plaster now be. fore the public.
 H These plasters possess the advan- tage of being put up in air-tight boxes, and hence they retain their full pirtues ia al climates.
 Price 50 cents box--each box contain ing sufficient to spead six or eight plasters
