You advise placing AIlceek's Porous Plas-
ters, in dyspepsia, on the pit of the stomach
in ague cake, on the spleen; in torpid liver,
over that organ; but I really think you
should also recommend that one or two
Plasters be put over the kidneys. They
stimulate, strengthen and act as powerful
diuretics, thus casting out many poisonous
acids and salts. I have had fever and ague.
ALI remedies took produced little or no eff
feet until put an Allcock's Porous Plaster
over each kidney; their action being more
than doubled. the malaria was quickly
washed away. I have also had several attacks
of rheumatism and two of govt, and by ap.
plying the plssters over the local pain and
also over the kidneys, again found your
plasters wonderfully eficacious.
