Farnville, La says:-"The counterrritant effect OF
Allcocks Porous PLASTER is produced in such mild
aud gradual way, they so invigOrate the circulation
around the parts to which they are applied, and
exert upon all nervous diseases such great seda-
tive influence, that l place them confidently at the
head of every plaster now in use"
Mrs. James Fl. Burdsell, of Whtlockville Bedford,
Westchester county, was thrown from her carriage,
and had her arm broken between the elbow and
shoulder. After her arm set and the bone had
fully knit, she continued TO suffer great pain at the

had applied AllcOCk's Porous Plasters. After using
them one month she was completely cured. She OBJ
tanned great relief the first day they were applied.
