ORIGINAL AND GENUINE
VOLCANIC, OIL IMMINENT.

THIS Liniment was first introduced into the
United States by G. w. WESTBROOK, pre-
pared from the recipe Of celebrated Italian
Physician by the name of RUsPlNI, who had
spent many years in scientific experiments with
various products Of nature, in order to produce
an external remedy for a variety of disorders,
such as Rheumatism, Ulcers, Scrofulous Sores,
Piles, letters, Kings Evil and Cancers Scald
Head, and other herpetic, idiosyncratic and con-
stitutonal diseases that had usually been treat
ed (though unsuccessfully) with internal rene
dies. His experiments with the Naphthaline
Mineral Oil Of Bangoon and Bark, were so sue
cessTul that he was induced TO make that the
basis of his Linment, and he it was who first
gave it the name Of ''Vocanic OIL" On OBJ
tanning the recipe for the .neric an .NEstdng
Linin,em we found that the same material under
the name of - Petroleo'' formed the basis of lis
composition. In combining the two recipes,
and introducing other ingredients that science
and experience had tested, the best external
remedy has been produced that earthly materials
afford-for relieving pain almost instantly-for
subduing inflammation, and healing sores or
wounds of every description.
