DE-. W. B. .SLoXN--Sk:-About the first Of
August last nay hand began to swell bldly, and
caused me very great suffering. The swelling
daily increased and extended up my arm to the
shoulder, and affected me 30 much as to render
me incapable Of retaining any food in my stom-
ach had the attendance Of an eminent physi.
clan, and every thing was tried that promised re-
isf, until it seemed as though I could not sur
vive another day. :
At this critical jancture, at the solicitation Of
friend, your valuable Ointment was applied to
the arm and hand, and also over the regisn Of the
stomach. This Immediately stopped the nausea;
and in twenty-five or thirty minutes the pain in
my arm was 90 far relieved that fell into o
quiet slumber for the first time in about two
weeks. The hand was several times laid open
with the lancet, before your Ointment was ap-
piled, without affording any relief; but from the
time began to use your ointment upon it, the
sore discharged freely, and my hand and arm
were restored in an almost incredible short time
The speedy relief from the wonderful sufferings
which experienced, induces me to send you
this testimonial, that others similarly affected
may know the value Of yeur Ointment in such
cases. For any further particulars you are at
liberty to refer to me.
