The Electric Chains first introduced in raace
in 1850, and after being subjected to the most
Thorough and Rigid Trial,
by the first medical in Paris, they were found TO
possess strange and marvellous power in relieving pain
wherever applied, and by their influence introdut-
ed into the hospitals of that city, and also secured by
letters patent by the French Government.
They now introduced in almost every Hospital in
England, Germany, Austria, Belgium, and patented in
those countries, where they have become the
Most Popular Curative A gent i'm the World
They first introduced in the United States about
year SINCE and went through with the same trial as
in Europe, and at introduced into every Hos
ptal in New York, where they are now in daily use,
efectng even MORE WONDERFUL CURES than
had ever before been awarded them
They are highly recommended by Profs. Valentine

can and will sell as low, and in some cases
lower than the same can be bought in New York.
Our object is to sell to cash customers, or those
who pay promptly on the usual credit. Any such
wanting articles in our line, would do well toex-
anime our stock and prices, assuring them that we
can at least save them the expense OF treights and
commissions.
Many of our goods were laid in before the late
advances. and will be sold at such rates as Must
insure sales.
The quality of all articles warranted. Any
proving different from what they are represented
can be returned at our expense.
We think it needless to enumerate what we
have on hand. Suffice it to say our stock has been
selected with special reference to the Virginia
and North Carolina trade, and will be found to
comprise any and every article usually suld in
Drug establishments.
We are the sole wholesale Agents f,r the very
