SPECIAL NOTICES.
H. G. Farrell's Arabian Imminent.

This celebrated medicine, skilfully composed as
II is OF the most healing balsams and penetrating
OILS, can never fail to cure almost every affection
that could be alleyiated by external remedy Its
superiority over all other Liniments is proven by
the miraculous cures ii performs, and by the great
and 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 1t the highest praise for
the rare virtues it possesses. Nothing, perhaps,
since the creation of the world, has been success
full as an external remedy for all nervous diseases
/ as this wonderful curative. When applied, it in
simultaneously diues itself through the whole sys-
tem soothing the irritated nerves, alayng the most
intense pains, and creating most delightful
sation. 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, till when six years old she had great
| difficulty in swallowing her food. Every night
watch was kept, fearing she would sufocate. The
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 ougrow
| 1t. With sad heart / returned home with her
when she became much worse that the doctors
| had to be called in again; they decided that the
tonslls must be cut OFT, the only of giving
relief My wife would not consent to this, and she
determined to try your L1nIment, which gave re-
lief the very first application, and by continued
use she entirely recovered. She is now ten years
old and fieshy and healthy as could be desired
Your Linment is also the best in use for spraIns
bruises cuts burns, headache, etc.. and it will re
move the most sevt re pain in a few minutes. i
also cured caked pdder in my COW in few days.
