Proof Better Than Assertion.

With such proof as the following letter
from w. II. Dean, of No. 27S Seventh street,
New York, it is not necessary to mako the
bare assertion that ALLCoCK'S Porous
PLAsTERs cure lumbago. Mr.. Dean says:
Some ten days ago l was taken with a
very violent pain in the small of my back.
1t was so severe that 1 could hardly
breathe; every movement caused great
agony. 1 finally found out it was lumbago.
Being entirely helpless, a friend sent to a
druggist and got two ALLcoCK's PoRoUs
PLAsTERs; these were well warmed and
applied to my back, one above the other.
In half an hour, to my great delight and
surprise, 1 found the pain began to abate.
In two hours was able to walk out and
attend to my business, the pain being al
most gone. Next day was all right but
continued wearing the plasters for week.
