ical cure of the following diseases, many of which are deemed 
incurable by his brethren of the faculty, without instruments 
of any kind, viz: 
1. Ulcers and Tumors, called cancerous. 
2. Scrofula in all its forms. 
3. AVhite Swellings, and Chronic Diseases of the Joints. 
4. Tumors, AVens, Carbuncles, Tetter, Scald Head, and all 
Eruptions on the Skin.

T HE PURITY AND WHITENESS OF SKIN AVIIICH THE 
use of Gouraud’s Italian Medicated Soap produces is sur¬ 
passingly beautiful. Not a vestige of tan, freckles, sallowness, 
sunburn, pimples, frowsiness, roughness, chaps, chafes, or 
other cutaneous disfigurements can be seen upon the skin 
which is frequently washed with this marvellous compound. 
The purest alabaster could scarcely rival in whiteness, smooth¬ 
ness and transparency the complexion which has been beau¬ 
tified by this delicious soap. It is, moreover, delicious for 
shaving. Gouraud’s Hair Restorative, or Circassian Gloss, 
not only possesses the wonderful power of imparting to wiry 
hair a rich silkiness and superb gloss, but it also restores the 
hair to places whence it has fallen off. Trial Bottles, 25 cents 
each. Gouraud’s Liquid Rouge gives to pale lips and cheeks a 
rosiness so permanent that it cannot be removed by the most 
violent rubbing. Gouraud’s Poudre Subtile is warranted to 
uproot hair from low foreheads or any part of the body. Gou¬ 
raud’s Liquid Hair Dye will instantaneously change red, gray 
or white hair to a beautiful brown or black, without staining 
the skin. Gouraud’s Lily White is much prized by ladies for 
flushed, rough skins. 
Caution—The genuine preparations of Dr.FELIX GOURAUD 
are only to be had at 67 Walker street, first store from (not in)
