GENERAL AGENTS
JM’ODE OF APPLICATION.—THE
ArJi. Happy success which has attended
this OINTMENT, .-specially under my own modi
of application, induces me to recommend the use of it
on the soft oil-cloth, accompanying each box. It may
be scraped quite clean with a knife, after holding it
to the fire, and fresh ointment spread thereon, so that
one. piece will answer for several dressings; in doing
which, observe the following general rules:—Do not
use water or lint—do not bandage tightly—patience,
perseverance, and great regularity in the dressings,
arc essential to success. The Ointment may also be
applied on an old piece of silk, in the same manner.
The plaster must be spread thin, and large cnougl
to cover both the wound and inflammation around it.
Scald Head.—Ifthe head is too sore to be shaved
e i
| with a razor, cut the hair off quite close with scissors
: Then make the ointment warm, and rub it on the
| Iad with one finger; over which, draw a cap made of
j old silk, or the oil-cloth. When the cap is removed.
I pour sweet oil on the head, for the purpose of softening
1 the ointment, then with a pocket knife scrape it off
clean. Also clean the cap—then repeat the ointment.
After the head becomes sufficiently healed, shave the
hair entirely off. Apply the ointment daily until all
i inflammation and soreness is removed, when the skin
| of the head will be white and soft. Then soften the
ointment on the head with sweet oil, and remove it
• with a fine comb, after the cure is made
j Corns.—Cut the Corn down to the quick, and np- j
i ply the ointment on a piece of silk. As the corn j
i grows out, continue to cut it away, and repeat the j
! ointment two or three times a week, until it is com--!
| pletely removed.
^ | x ui fit uiu i , iuiiivui. vi \ i u^nivii uim vw |
J.1 charges freely, apply the ointment once in twenty
j four hours; hut it is frequently necessary in such
' | cases, to remove the plaster in the course of the day,
p | and wipe off the matter drawn to the surface, by the
, active operation of the ointment; for which purpose,
' a soft dry linen or cotton rag must be used; taking
care not to use water abotit a sore in any manner,
J [ that it may be kept regularly under the influence ot j
, ! the ointment. The discharges of matter from a cor- j
. j rupt sore of long standing, are generally dark at first; !
J and in some cases of this kind, it maybe proper to
1 apply 'the ointment twice a day, say morning and
• night, in order to expediate the work of cleaning, as
well as to subdue inflammation and prevent mortifi
1 cation. When the affected part is entirely drained, ;
’ a disposition to heal is generally manifested by a dis- ;
5 charge of white healthy matter, the edges becoming |
! fiat and white, and the centre Hilling up with small ,
1 red pimples of sound flesh. In this state of the sore, |
r apply the ointment only once in forty-eight hours, j
e i and cleanse but once in twenty-four, as above direc.t
‘ | ed. In unlers, produced by mercury, the Sarsaparilly 1
’ ; drink should also be used.
‘ ! For inflammations, fresh wounds, swellings,
1 sprains or bruises, once in twenty-four hours, is often
® j enough to apply the ointment.
‘ | If applied to the sore breast of a female, it can be
| rendered more mild, if necessary, by spreading a j
! small quantity of mutton tallow on each piaster, and
; mixing it well by heat in?.
In long-standing and deeply corrupt sores. I pnr
: ticularly recommend that the plasters be spread tup 1
i enough to cover the whole inflamed pari; in fact,
■ | should the sore be situated about the middle of the leg,
e ; then wrap the same in ointment, from the knee to the
\ foot, until all inflammation is subdued: and should
i mortification be apprehended, let the plasters be mad
; warm, in order that they may be rendered more ac
j ' live and powerful.
In the bite of a snake, this course is strenuously
I urged, taking care in the first to scarify the flesh
j around the part bitten.
I The spider bite, if not early treated, will extend to
) the bone, from a core, and some-times produce deep
: ulceration.
i For soreness about the breast, (prubuced bv cold nr
i cramp-colic,) apply a plaster large enough to cover
' '■ the whole chest.
• | FOR PILES.—Take a bit of sperm candle, one
» 1 inch long, and make it full of small grooves, and fill
them with the ointment, then introduce it up the flin
ts i dament, and let it remain there until an evacuation,
, : then repeat it until a cure is effected.
j ; This ointment makes an excellent dressing to fob
. 1 low a blister, in order to produce a free stippuialion.
I and thereby more effectually relieve the part affected.
1 j with pain, particularly in cases of pleurisy.
I Some cases of the ulcer, and scrofulous tumour will
j require the ointment for months, perhaps, before a
_ 1 thorough cleansing can be effected; therefore, patience
. I and perseverance must be exercised, with great regu
i larity in the dressings, while strict attention should
, 1 lie paid- to diet, in order to prevent the system from
j- becoming gross.
In early stages of inflammatory rheumatism, and
j I soreness about the breast, produced by cold or colic,
t from our own experience, this ointment stands unri
_ vailed. It is soothing, vet so stimulating, that in the
. course of two or three hours, the system is thrown
. into a gentle perspiration, and all pain or soreness is
r rapidly removed.
e In fresh wounds, the flesh being sound, healing
. soon takes place, after the use of the ointment.
In the biles of a dog, snake, and spider, I liaveam
t pie evidence of its efficacy.
f For risings on the hand or fingers, and sores about
. the faces of children, as well as chopped hands and
. lips, the ointment will be fround it most excellent
, remedy. It may be simply applied on children by
g touching slightly about the sores with one finger, or
spread on old pieces of silk.
c No injury, whatever, can arise from the use of the
ointment, nor to an infant even, as it is one of the
. . most innocent remedies ever applied to the human
j I system, all the materials being of the most pure and
wholesome character; consequently, there can be no
r | liability to cold at any season.
In most of the discuses for which the ointment has
; been recommended, its virtue has lieen fully tested

it produces a free circulation in die vessels on the sur

action is more universal, and it may be ollen repeated,
not merely with safety, but with great benefit, this
becomes indispensably necessary in cases of long
standing, for in them intense temporary impressions
made by strong medicines seldom, if ever, do good,
and tend to injure the stamina of the constitution.
There is probably no medicine, copable of doing so
much good, that will invariably give so little pain in
it s operation as this: and yet. no person should ex
pect to have a severe disease removed w ithout feel
ing it. The medicine could be so modified, as never
to produce nausea, vomiting, or griping. But to do
this, it would be necessary to destroy more than halt
its medical powers. A physician, in a recent letter
to the proprietors on the subject, says, ‘1 think your
medicine as good as a medicine can.be—no improve

Begin to take the medicine in ordinary doses, (see
directions,) and continue it for weeks or months.—
Such diseases, cannot be cured immediately, but the
continued use of this medicine, will certainly relieve,
and here the disease is within the reach, and power of
medicine, a cure may be confidently relied upon, no
fear of bad consequences, need be apprehended, or of
acquiring a habit of taking them; for when the func

organs ve acquired strength, sufficient to maintain

As a general deobstuest, it is altogether superior

As a family medicine, one which may he relied on
with certainty, in the first stages of disease, of almost
any form, it exceeds all former discoveries in medi
cine, either from the vegetable; or mineral kingdoms.
It is put up in a neat and convenient form, for the '

Dear Sir:—I embrace the opportunity of expressing
to you my gratification at the success Which has at
tended the administration of your valuable pills, in
this section of country. It is a common fault with
those who compound and vend patent medicines
to say too much in favor of them; but from what
I have seen of the effects of your Pills, I
do not think as yet they have received unmerited
praise.
Six months ago they were almost entirely tin
known in this part of Virginia, they are now the
most popular pills we have In dyspepsia and
sick head ache, perungement < f the biliary organs,
and obstinate constipation of the bowels, I know of
no aperient more prompt and efficacious.
1 would add that their mildness and certainty of
action render them a safe and efficient purgative for
weakly individuals; and that they may be given at all
times without apprehension of any of those injurious
consequences which so frequently attended the appli
cation of Calomel and blue pill. On the whole. 1
