produced more cures of rheumatism, neuralgia,
lOck-jaw, palsy, sprains dwellings, caked breasts,
scalds, burns, salt rheum, ache, &c, upon the
human frame, and of strains, SPAWN, gals, &C.
upon animals in one year than have all other pre-
tended remedies since the world began. 1t ia u
counter irritant, an all-healing pain reliever,
Cripples throw away their crutches, the lame walk
poisonous bites are rendered harmless and the
wounded are healed without scar. II is no hum
bug. The recipe is published around each bottle.
1t is selling no article ever before sold, and it
sells because 1t does just what it pretends to do
Ihose who now suffer from rheumatism, pain or
swelling deserve to suffer if they win not use

An eminent scientific man explains why Prof
Anderson's Dermador acts so much more
promptly than other appl ications in curing sore
parts, as follows: The usual applications, such
as plasters and poultices, confine the heat so ii
escapes with difficulty, and the the cure must be
slow.
The Dermador acts in direct opposition to all
such applications-it keeps abe skin moist, and
instead of combining it conducts the heat off, and
