sitioii that I could place myself in so as to endure it, was by lying 

 on my back on a iiard surface. I advised with several physicians, 

 and tried all their prescriptions ; one of which was to blister, which 

 I followed up for weeks, but with little success. Plasters, lina- 

 ments, salves, and washes, were resorted to, but all proved ineffect- 

 ual. At last a gentleman sent me a box of Jew David's, or Hebrew 

 Plaster, which I kept standing in the house for several days, not 

 having faith in medicine being able to remove my complaint ; how- 

 ever, at last severe pain made me willing to try something. I put 

 on the Hebrew Plaster according to directions, and to my surjirise 

 it helped me, and a continuance of it has so far r-elieved me, that I 

 am able to do a pretty good day's work. I would advise all to 

 make a trial of it, that are afflicted with swellings or pain.

Resurrection, or Persian Pills, 



TO THE AFFLICTED. 



This is to certify that I was attacked at the age of fifteen, with 

 what was called a scrofulous affection in my mouth and throat, al- 

 though it was called by physicians of the first standing, and others, 

 a kings evil, I called on many physicians for help ; one was Doct. 

 Thompson of Geddes, the well known Thompsonian ; there I doc- 

 tored three months and came very near dying. I have now in my 

 house pieces of jaw bone, from one to one and a half inches in 

 length, taken from my jaw at that time ; this I thought was suffer- 

 ing in a severe manner, I finally gave up being helped here, and 

 coming to the conclusion that it would be best to leave, I did so. — 

 I then called on the well known Dr. White of Chei'i-y Valley ; there 

 I doctored for a long time and received a partial benefit, but my 

 complaint soon came on again, as bad as ever. The disease kept 

 increasing until my pallet was entii'ely eat out, and my mouth and 

 the whole inside of my head so eat up that I could scarcely speak 

 so as to be understood by my most intimate acquaintances; I finally 

 despaired of ever being any better. I omitted purchasing property 

 which I should have bought if there had been the least probability 

 of my ever living to enjoy it. I kept trying every new medicine I 

 could hear of, amongst the rest Moffit's Pills and Bitters, this in^ 

 creased the irritation, I now came fully to the conclusion that I 

 must soon be consigned to the silent tomb, unless I could get help 

 immediately, one more effort was now to be made for the last time, 

 having tried almost every thing else, and a drowning man will catch 

 at straws ; the next astonishing medicine that presented itself to me 

 was the Resurrection Pills; well thinks I, this may be the kind yet,( 

 on further enquiry as to these pills, I found they had already estab- 

 lished to themselves a character far beyond my expectations, found
