Harvey Sickler, Esq. the able edit
or Of the 7hmkhannoek Pa Democrat.
publishes the following in his issue OF
30th Oct, 1861 ...,.
1--WE deem it due to Messrs. J. G.
Aver g. Co., and the pnblic, to make
known our experience with the use Of
their EXT. SARsAPARILLA in our family,
by stating the circumstances under
which it was taken and its effects.
When our only child. now in his
third year, was about eight months
old, a sore appeared first in small
pimplcs Oh his forehead over his nose
These rapidly increased and uniting
formed a 'oathsome, virulent sore,
which finally spread over his forehead
and face. not even excepting his eye
lids, which became so swollen that his
eyes were closed. We called a skill
ful physician, who administered the
usually prescribed remedies. A solu
ton of nitrate of silver was applied
until the mass of corruption which
covered his entire face turned JET
black. The sore again and again
burst through the scorched and artifi
cial skin formed by this solution
Meanwhile many remedies were EN-
ployed without any apparent benefit
For fifteen days and nights he was
constantly held by his parents to keep
him from tearing open with his hands
the corrupt mass which covered bis
face.
Everything having failed, we were
induced by the high recommendations
of Ayers Sarsaparilla for the cure Of
Scrofulous disease. to give it a trial
In his treatise on Scrofula, DR.. Aver
directs q mild solution Of Iodide Of
Potash to be used as wash while tax
ing the Sarsaparilla, and it was faith
fully applied. Before one bottle d
SarsaparilIa had been given the SORE
had lost much Of its virulence ant
commenced to heal. Another bottl.
effected an entire cure, and the genera
prediction that the child must die wa,
contradicted. His eyelashes which
came out. grew again, and bis face il
left without scar, as smooth as any
body's. 1t is unnecessary for me t,
state in how high esteem we hole
