1T is AN ERRONEOUS IDEA that disease caa-

Of which much injury is DONE although the disease

quently become go much disordered that the diges-
tive function is seriously injured-the result Of
dtarrhGa and cOstiveness, fatuenee, nightmare
etc. Would it not therefore, be very desirable to
possess remedy, Which being applied externally
would excite the absoroents to increased action,
and thus carry of through this medium the delete
rious principle which is the direct cause Of the dis
ease: Surely every thinking man will admit that
this would not only be the most pleasant, but by
far the safest meansto effect the desired end. The
almost superhuman cures performed by the Ara
bian physicians in the days of old were mainly ef-
fected by this course of treatment and the ingredi-
ARABIAN LINIMENTi is composed are extricated
from rare plants peculiar to Arabia. This great
Llniment (Which is now to be had of most respecta
BILE druggists and merchants in every town in the
United States) is daily efecting which seemed
beyond the power of medicine to ocontrol-consump-
ton, bronchitis and liver complaints in their first
stages. nervous affections, indigestion, enla1ge-
ment OF the spleen, scrofuous tumors, goitre ETC.,
are frequently cured and always relieved by it's
use. It is unsurpassed anodyne-relieving
severe pains In few minutes after its application,
il soothes the irritated nerves. and produces that
delightful tranquility grateful to the nervous in
valid. Sprains bruises wounds, burns sore throat
ehibains, rheumatism, sun pain, ETC., are speedily
cured by it. and for nearly all ailments in horses
cattle, requiring an external application, IL is an ef
fectual remedy.
