1t is a conce led fact by ADJ Physicians of
emineuce. that every country produces its
Vegetable and Mineral Remedies adapted to
the cure of diseases incident to its climate,
aud his natural truth is confirmed by the re-
markable fact that the invaluable Vegetable,

Z. certain cure for the SCUB OK POI

often IN She midst, or always contiguous to the

The effect of this SALVE upon many euta-

ErGptions is most magical, instantly relieving
the itching and irritated parts, and often Il
few applications completing cure.

DR.. D. B. SHRIEvEs -
Dear SRI had suffered severely for
some three months, from a Pirate DisedsP,
in some of its worst forms. Several large ul-
GERS appeared, attended with all their con-
comitant evils. Three eminent physicians had
exhausted their skill in their efforts to effect
a cure, but all i'll vain, with the exception Of
relieving my pockets of considerable amount
of loose change. When about two weeks
since, procured a single box of your invalu-
able g California Salve," and by its use alone,
am happy to say, that consider myself re.
stored to perfect health. | therefore. in view
of the above facts, canuot hesitate to rec,m-
mend it to all afflicted in a similar way.
Yours, most gratefully,
JAMES DOWNEY.
