Prospectors, in attempting TO boil a

that the side Of the dish which is In

saysD
This is Absolutely a safe remedy,
and one thus e.papes the surgeons

is not hearsay, as a man was saved

hands frozen to the wrists He was
taken into the office and treated as
above for about five hours, when all
the frost was drawn out without so
much as losing a flger tip.
The physicians We're amazed, as they
thought ampuatIon would have to be
resorted TO- Ills hands We're as white
and hard as merbc, and when placed
in the oil they snapped and cracked
as the oil belan to act upon the ice

This remedy should be remembered
BY all residents Of cold climates, as II
would save many a limb The temper
