Where this Plaster is Applied,
PAIN CNNOT EXIST.

A gentleman in the South Of Europe and
PaIes inc, in 1880, heard so much said in the
latter place in favor of JEW DAVID'S PLAS-
TER, and of the (as he consideredl miraculous
cures he had performed. that he was induced
to try it on his own person, for Long and
Liver Affection, the removal of which had been
the chief object of his journey, but which had
resisted the genial and delicious cline.
He accordingly applied plaster on the right
of his chest where The pain was seated, another
between The shoulders, and one oyer the region
of the liver. In the mean tmehe drank freely
Of an herb tea of laxative qualities. He soon
found his health improving, and in a few weeks
his cough left him; the sallowness of his skin
disappeared, his pain was removed, and his
health became permanently reiterated.
Tie following is from Mr.. Worstel, editor
of the Massion Gazette, Ohio.
