Discovery is pre~eminently the arti'
Gle needed. IL cures every kind oi
; humor from the worst scrofula to the
common pimple, blotch, or eruption.
Great eating ulcers kindly heal un-
der its mighty curative influence
Virulent poisons that Turk in the
system are ty it robbed OF their ter
rors, and 10y a persevering and some
what protracted use of it, the most
tainted systems may be completely
renovated and built up anew.
Enlarged glands, tumors and swell
lings, dwindle away and disappear
under the influence of this great re-
solvent. The system being put un-
der its influence for a few weeks, the
skin becomes smooth, clear, soft and
velvety, and being Illuminated with
the glow of health from within, true
beauty stands forth In all its glory
Nothing ever presented to the public
as beautifier of the complexion
ever gave such satisfaction for this
purpose as my Discovery. In using
it for rough skin, or TO clear The skin
of tan or yellow spots, in addition to
its protracted use internally, apply it
as a lotion to the skin each night on
etiriDg. The effect will more than
meet the most sanguine expectations.
The effects of all medicines which OPP
eiate upon the system through the
medium Of the blood are necessarily
slow, no matter how good the remedy
employed. While one to three bot
ties may clear the skin of pimples, u
dozen or even two dozen may be re-
quired to cure some cases where the
system is rotten with scrofulous or
other poisons. The cure of all these
disease, therefore, from the common
pimple to the worst scrofula, is, with
the use of this most potent agent,
only a matter of time. In using my
Discovery for the reduction of swol-
len glands, white swellings and other
hard tumors, it should be assisted by
bathing the swollen or enlarged parts
with Lugol's solution. which is COM
posed of Iodine grains, Iodide of
POTASH 20 grains, water 2 ounces, and
may be obtained of any druggist
Should the use of this solution pro-
duce any tenderness or irritation of
the skin, weaken it by the addition
of water until sufficiently reduced to
avoin such an effect. Where a swell
ling does not show signs of uicera-
ton, and when it is desirable to scat
ter 1t without coming to a sore, avoid
all harsh rubbing of it and keep up
thorough use of the solution upon it,
and OF the Discovery taken internal
ly There is no danger in using these
scattering agents SO long as the sys-
tenn is under the influence of the
Discovery to excrete all offensive
matters that are carried into the
blood. If it be found that matter
has already formed i'm a swelling, its
further formation should be favored
in order to remove it, for so long as
it remains pent up 1t contaminates
the surrounding tissues. For this
purpose warm poultices are required.
If an open sore or ulcer has formed,
cleanse il once a day with weak
soap. suds, avoiding all rubbing or
picking of the surface. In fact,
nothing but the weak suds should
touch the surface of the ulcer, as the
tender granulations springing up to
fill the cavity or close the wound are
destroyed by rubbing. If an ulcer
becomes inflamed and angry, apply
slippery elm poultice until the
fiery red color and heat have subsid-
ed. III painful, use little laudanum
in mixing il, or wet it up with hop
tea. When the Inflammation has SUBJ
sided, dress the ulcer with some very
simple salve or ointment, like SIM
pie cerate or basilicon salve; the last
may be made by melting together
two parts of beeswax, one of lard
and two of mutton tallow. When
ulcers have been of long standing,
and do not show disposition to
heal, after having applied the above
means for a reasonable length of
time, or when the edges are ragged
or covered with dead white skin or
scurf, the edges of the ulcer should
be lightly penciled every week or ten
days with a moistened stick of lunar
caustic, and then poulticed until the
Inflammation has subsidized. when the
use of the basilicon ornament may
be resumed. In Salt Rheum and
some other forms of skin disease
where there is much soreness, Itch
ing, or scaly incrustations, the appli-
cation Of the Discovery to the affect
ed parts, say once or twice day,
particularly on retiring at night,
will aid i'm affecting cure. Or the
following ointment may be used -
Take Carbolic Acid (crystals) 10
grains, Lard 2 ounces; rub the crys-
tails in mortar with teaspoonful
of the lard until thoroughly incor-
porated, then gradually add the rest
of the lard, rubbing it until IT il most
thoroughly mixed.
AS a local application for the cure
of Barber's Itch, Common Itch,
Scald Head. and other skin diseases,
this ointment is excellent. The acid
