Letter From General John e. milford.
% DEFY STREET, New YORK,
Octoher lS2S

20 DEFY STREET, New YORK,
October s, 1888.
For years past have used Allcocks Por-
Gus Plaster on my person and in my family.
and have found them perfect as an external
remedy, quick in their action giving imme-
date relief, without blistering the skin, and
far superior to all others. No family should
be without Alcock's Porous Plasters; their
healing powers are wonderful, and their eff
cacy far-reaching and lasting. When in
Washington, last winter was induced to try
another much advertised plaster for severe
pain in my back. No relief from the pain,
hut sore and blistered back for week, was
the result. So soon as the blisters healed l
applied two of Allcock's Porous Plasters, and
they gave me immediate and permanent re-
lief. They give additional strength and
vitality to the spinal column, and they are a
never-failing remedy in my family for
Coughs, Colds, Sprains, and all Pains and
Weaknesses. Their use has repeatedly
saved me from Pneumonia. l constantly use
them. and would not be without them for any
consideration. JOHN Z. MILFORD.
Beware OF limitations. "Allcock's" is the
only genuine Porous Plaster.

The merits of Athlophoros as specific
for Rheumatism and Neuralgia are best
proved by the fact that it cures when other
treatment fails. Says Mr.. G. G. Tompson,
of New Haven: "For twelve years have
been sufferer from Rheumatic Neuralgia,
which attacked me suddenly without warning,
destroying all hope of sleep or rest. have
tried hundreds of remedies With the ex-
ception of Athlophoros not one of them
afforded me the slightest benefit. 1t has done
me more good than all the other remedies
