Ihave waited this long to see if the cure would remain permanent belore do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy effects seemed to me to be ‘‘too good to be rue.” I was afflicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular I saw my case described in many par ticulars. ‘The inward ‘“‘drop” from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying long, I would feel like smothering ane be compelled to sit up in the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before I had used a quacter of the contents of one bottle I found decided re- lief, aud when I had used two bottles and a third. I quit taking it, feeling quite cured of that ailment, and have not used any since until of late I have taken some forja cold in my head, A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, atiadhicated, with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper.

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era. There never has been 2 time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has been, caused by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters. Dr. MELVIN’S Capsicum Porovs PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, te act quicker than any otirer plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the . ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continually to effect a cure; ‘Dut with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the ‘nstant one.is applied the patient will fee} its effect. Physicians in all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Reing, however, convinced of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM Porous PLASTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribs them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such eases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and ou want a certain cure, ask your druggist for IR. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and i Constitutional Ren.edy. | ‘ It is now two years since your | * Sat SALE.
