NJ ared. ws have been induced TO give
~ ftliewipg hfiel, yet truthful aeeOunt OF
m history: This ealve II . vegetable pre-
nerstiop, invented in the seventeenth cen.
fury by br. William Grace, who was sur
seon in King James army, and who from
Shat time always used 1t in his professional
practice, whenever soreness or inflammation
presented itself. A. medical agent for
the cure OF wounds, it was followed with
great success, and Thousands of the veterans
.hst we're wounded in the campaign OF 1858
and 1889 owed TO this Salve the salvation OF
their lives. Col. Richard Grace, who was
King James chamberlain, introduced this
Salve into the royal palace, where il was
used with the greatest success, and highly
esteemed for its virtues in the cure Of
sores. At the siege of Athlone, Col. Grace
ordered ii to be administered to his com.
patriots WIG. we're wounded during the
memorable day Of the battle; and it was
used with such success that the head sur
geon of the army at Anghrim ordered DR..
Grace to manufacture 100 gross, and dis
tribute ii among the hospitals before the
battle. On the sad defeat At Aughrim, after
Giukle's army took possession OF the battle
field, several ambulapces, which had been
abandoned by the retreating army, were
found 10 contain sealed cases of the
Salve. The English surgeons tested it
upon their wounded and ascertained its
value, and thus were both of the contending
armies befriended by it. Both DIR. William
Grace and Col. Richard Grace died in the
campaign of 1691--the former Of disease,
the latter killed in the intrenchments of
Athlone, with the flag Of his country
wrapped around him, cheering his men ON
to victory. After the death of DIR. Grace,
the Salve was not used much outside of his
family, until the rebellion of 1898, when
William Grace, grandfather of ths~.sub.
scribsr, applied its virtues, at the battle Of
Ross, to his brave comrades who fell
wounded while fighting for the rights Of
their country. This salve was quite extern
siveiy used In certain localities of Ireland,
being furnished gratuitously by the sub
scriber's parents until 184s, when they left
the land OF their nativity and came to this
country, bringing with them the secret OF
the Salve they received from their ancestors.
They continued to make the Salve, as be,
fore, for their neighbors, free of charge,
until the fall Of 1861, when the frequent
calls for it, and the serious cases cured by
IL, induced the subscriber to bring it into
more general notice, and to charge a small
price for the article that has received the
