all complaints requiring an'external application,
either ~ man or beast. In the short length Of
time Il has been introduced TO the people Of the
United States, il has gained reputation unequal
ed by any other medicine in the known vorld.-
Why is il? The answer is plain: because no
medicine ofthe kind has ever been put before the
