TRIBUTE.

While it is over thirty years ago since ALL
COCKS POROUS PLAsTERs were first intro
duced to the medical profession and public, the
marked success and unprecedented popularity
which they met with not only continues, but
steadily increases. No other plasters have
been produced which gain so many testimoni-
ais of high value as those continuously accorded
to ALLCoCK's Porous PLAsTERs, and the
only motive for these exceptional tributes lies
in the fact OF their being medicinal and phar-
maceutical preparation of superior value. Ad-
ditional proof of the value of ALLCoCK's PO-
RoUs PLAsTERs lies in the fact that they are
being largely initiated by inscriptions persons
who seek to deceive the public by offering plas-
ters which they claim to be the "same,"
.sequal,s "as good" BETTER 'best porous plas-
ter.' etc., while it is in general appearance
only that they resemble ALLcocK's. Every
one of the so-called porous plasters are imita-
tations of ALLcocK's POROUS PLAsRERs.
Avoid dealers who attempt to palm off inferi-
OF and worthless plasters that are purchased
by them at low rates for the purpose Of substi-
tuition,
