II. G. FARRELL'S ARABIAN LINIMENT
far beyond any similar remedy

Mr.. II. G. Farell-Dear Sir; Actuated by sense
of gratefulness, l submit the following an in
stance OF the utility of your great medicine. My
child, three years old, suddenly attacked with
a terrible disease, which in less than six hours
Frustrated it TO total helplessness, The limbs be-
came so rigid that not a joint could be bent; the
flesh turned black and cold and entirely deprived
of feeling the eyes fixed, partially closed and al
together blind. following this was deafness to all
sounds; the spine became contracted and so curved
that when lying its back the head and heels only
toRebed.' Indeed, the child presented every ap
ed8ance of being dead. Immediately on the at
tack the family physician was called in, and for
three weeks he labOred restore it to feeling, but
all in vain, althous b 1t was bstered dozen times
and various rubefacient Liniments applied. con-
sultatiOn OF physicians was then held, but to no
purpose. the Gaze was then brought before the
Medical Society, but nothing could be suggested
which had not already been done, and the doctor
then told me he could do nothing more. We then
commenced applying your Linimept freely over the
entire length of the spine, and you may imagine a
parents joy, when, after a few applications, re-
turning animation was apparent, and it rapidly re-
covered with the exception of the sight, which did
not become perfect for near month. The child is
now healthy and robust as can he. Five other
cases of the kind occurred previously in any
neighboorhood all OF which died, when there is no
doubt if your Lnment had been used they would
have recovered. HENRY &. CLELAND,
