Prairie Itch, Mage, Old Sores, &c.
1t is highly recommended for open or liberated
Scrofua and Leprosy. No class of diseases have
ever been considered more difficult to cure than
those of a cutaneous kind, and it will be conceded
by all intelligent and candid physicians, that
knowledge Of the nature and successful treatment
ofhem is very limited and imperfect. 1t is notorious
that many of these disorders have generally re-
sisted all the ordinary means Of cure. Hence the
opinion so commonly prevalent, that they are in
durable, and it is probable that before the dscov
cry and introduction of Beatson's justly celebra
ted remedy this belief was well founded. But
wherever his medicine hiss been known and used,
it has shown this opinion to be erroneous-it has
demonstrated the certainty of radical cure in al
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
nd speedy cure it has proved etlcacious 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
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.
