II. G. Farrell's Arabian Liniment.

This celebrated medicine, skilfully composed as
u Is OF the most healing balsams and penetrating
olts can never fail to cure almost every afiicsion
that could be aleviated by external remedy. Its
superiority over all other Liniments is proven by
the miraculous cures it performs and by the great
ana constantly increasing demand. Thore has been
sold within the past year more than THREE MILLION
OF BOTTLES and there can be but few persons found
who do not bestow upon it the highest praise for
the rare virtues it possesses. Nothing, perhaps,
since the creation of the world, has been success
ful as an external remedy for all nervous diseases,
as this wonderful curative When applied, it in
simultaneously difues itself through the whole sys-
tem' soothing the rrtated nerves. alaying the most
intense pains, and creating most delightful SEN
satton. Read the following remarkable cure, which
can be attested to by hundreds, who were fully &C
quainted with the whole circumstance.
CHRONIC ENLARGEMENT OF THE ToNSILS
My daughter, when six months old, was taken
with q swelling in the tonsils, which grew larger
and larger, til when six years old she had great
difficulty in swallowing her food. Every night

best doctors attended her but could give relief
took her TO the most eminent doctors in the East
they said there was no help for her but to outgrow
II. With a sad heart feturncd home with her,
when she became so much worse that the doctors
had to be called in again: they decided that the
tonsils must be cut off ~ the only mcaps of giving
relief. My wife would not consent o tnis and she
determined TO try your LlnIment which gave re-
lief the very first application, and by continued
use she entirely recovered. She is now ten years
old and heshy and healthy could be desired
