Endorsement by men and women of the character 
and standing of those who recommend ALLCOCK’S 
POROUS PLASTERS is unquestionable proof of merit. 
Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher writes : 
40 Orange Street, 
Brooklyn, N. Y., February 11, 1890. 
I have used Allcock’s Porous Plasters for some years for 
myself and family, and, as far as able, for the many sufferers who come 
to us for assistance, and have found them a genuine relief for most of 
the aches and pains which flesh is heir to. I have used Allcock's 
Porous Plasters for all kinds of lameness and acute pain, and, by 
frequent experiments, find that they can control many cases not noticed 
in your circulars. 
The above is the only testimonial I have ever given in favor of any 
plaster, and if my name has been used to recommend any other, it is 
without my authority or sanction. 
Russell Sage, the well-known financier, 
writes: 
506 Fifth Avenue, 
New York City, December 20, 1890. 
For the last twenty years I have been using Allcock’s Porous 
Plasters. They have repeatedly cured me of rheumatic pains and 
pains in my side and back. Whenever I have a cold, one on my chest 
and one on my back speedily relieve me. 
My family are never without them. 
The Rev. Mark Guy Pearse writes: 
Bedford Place, Russell Square, 
London, December 10, 1888. 
I think it only right that I should tell you of how much use I find 
Allcock’s Porous Plasters in my family and amongst those to 
whom I have recommended them. I find them a very breastplate 
against colds and coughs. 
George Augustus Sala, on his last Austra¬ 
lian trip, wrote as follows to the “ London 
Daily Telegraph ” : 
I especially have a pleasant remembrance of the ship’s doctor— 
a very experienced maritime medico indeed—who tended me most 
kindly during a horrible spell of bronchitis and spasmodic asthma, 
provoked by the sea-fog which had swooped down on us just after we 
left San Francisco. But the doctor’s prescriptions, and the increasing 
warmth of the temperature as we neared the Tropics, and, in particu¬ 
lar, a couple of Allcock’s Porous Plasters clapped on—one on the 
chest and another between the shoulder-blades—soon set me right. 
W. J. Arkell, publisher of “ Judge ” and 
“Frank’s Leslie’s Illustrated Newspaper,” 
writes: 
Judge Building, 
Cor. Fifth Ave. and Sixteenth Street, 
New York, January 14, 1891. 
About three weeks since, while suffering from a severe cold which 
had settled on my chest, I applied an Allcock’s Porous Plaster, and 
in a short time obtained relief. 
In my opinion, these plasters should be in every household, for use 
in case of coughs, colds, sprains, bruises or pains of any kind. I 
know that in my case the results have been entirely satisfactory and 
beneficial. - 
Marion Harland, on pages 103 and 445 of 
her popular work “ Common Sense for 
Maid, Wife and Mother,” says: 
For the aching back—should it be slow in recovering its normal 
strength—an Allcock’s Porous Plaster is an excellent comforter, 
combining the sensation of the sustained pressure of a strong, warm 
hand with certain tonic qualities developed in the wearing. It should 
be kept over the seat of uneasiness for several days—In obstinate cases, 
for perhaps a fortnight. 
For pain in the back wear an Allcock’s Porous Plaster con¬ 
stantly, renewing as it wears off. This is an invaluable support when 
the weight on the small of the back becomes heavy and the aching 
incessant. - 
Henry Thorne, Travelling Secretary of the 
Y. M. C. A., writes: 
Exeter Hall, Strand, 
London, February 2,1888. 
I desire to bear my testimony to the value of Allcock’s Porous 
Plasters. I have used them for pains in the back and side, arising 
from rheumatic and other causes, never without deriving benefit from 
their application. They are easily applied and very comforting. Those 
engaged, as I am, in public work which involves exposure to sudden 
changes of temperature, will do well to keep a supply of Allcock’s 
Porous Plasters in their portmanteaus. 
Henry A. Mott, Jr., Ph. D., F. C.S., late 
Government chemist, certifies: 
My investigation of Allcocic’s Porous Plaster shows it to con¬ 
tain valuable and essential ingredients not found in any other plaster, 
and I find it superior to and more efficient than any other plaster. 
KIP BEWARE OF IMITATIONS, and do not be deceived by misrepresentation. Ask for 
ALLCOCK’S, and let no solicitation or explanation induce you to accept a substitute.
