"As readily as yen Would take Zingaro oalh.

the cross of your dagger. and on it swear to
keep faith with me; n my lipsare again sealed,
and for ever!"
" Unbelieving miscreant!" exclaimed the
baron, starting in rage from his seat ; I
,am
•well.enongh minded to put thy stoniness to
the proof.'
Prudenee, however, and the desire of a no:
bier victim for revenge overruled this momen
tary hunt of passion. Making, therefore, the
prescribed oath,, he again took his rest ;
" A draught of water to moisten my parched
throat, and my cloak to cover over my eliatni.
and then your questions. signor. I am ready to
answer."
Water was brought, and the capa thrown
upon his lacerated shoulders.= He calmly
drew his cloak about him; and bowed slight
ly,. in token of being prepared; the baron be
gan:—
" Who was the contriver and companion of
my niece's flight!"
"The husband chosen by her father, the
Count Luigi Conradini."
" Ha I isi it so 1 And how gained he access
to her chamber !"
"-That service I contrived fowl him."
The baron cut a glance of deathful import
on-the unflinching speaker. then went bn.
"Knowest thou where they now he ?"
" With willing minds, sharp , spurs, and
stout steeds they naai , now be well-nigh across
the Petterano."
_ " Then they are bound for Naples !"
" For Naples."
"Now art thou a lying knave ; for mortal
man dare not venture to cross the.Pescara after
the rain of last night."
"The Count Luigi had already crossed- it.
though somewhat later than be had looked to
ado; a delay that had well-nigh lost him his
fair prize.
"May its swollen waters'whelm them both,
and for avail" cried the baron, as he started
up and rapidly paced the ball. Ho, there!
to horse, some of you; hasten to the river, and
see if it be yet fordable ; look close for the
new track of horses, and ride upon the spur
a thousand ducats to him who brings back my
niece, or can show me a blade died with the
heart's blood of Luigi Conradini. Take hence
; that hound, bind him hand and foot, and throw
, into the tapes-tried chamber at the ex
tremity of my gallery; let him have bread and
water, and straw to lie on. If thy story be
true, and the torrent fordable, I will keep faith
pith thee, and on the morrow thou shalt have
strong cord, and die the death of thy lathers;
but if thou bast spoken a lie, thou shalt be
whipped until! thy false heart be laid bare to
the sun, whose beams shall wither it within
thee."
By the star that rules me, I have spoken
truly, Baron Mirialva."
The clatter of the departing horsemen was
now;heard as they hastily spurred over the
paved court.
.• Ha, ha, ha ! they must ride and spare not,
who seek to win back time past, or true lovers
flown," continued the Zingaro, as he was led
from the hall to his prison -chamber.
During the foregoing events, Time had. held
on his unchanging, unchangeable course ; and
as the prisoner was thrust into his list earthly
lodging, he was . saluted bythe first burst of a
bright morning sun, darting its many -colored
rays through the stained glass of a narrow win
dow, placed high overhead, and indeed the only
means by supplying with either light or air this
gloomy chamber. •
The Zinger° gazed for a moment at the
cheerful light, half-shading his brow with his
hand; then, turning to his guards, he requested
that they would place him within the influence
of its beams.
Ay. to be sure," was the reply : Nicola,
toss down that straw here ; the poor devil wants
to inn himself."
•' He's no judge of astronomy, then," an
swered the bearer of straw, "or he'd have
known that the rays of the morning sun will
rest bat a short space where they now fall ; no,
no, poor ignorant, if thou wouldst have the
sun for company, I'll put thy straw in yon
der nook where he will sleep awhile after mid
day."
"Put it down here," said the Zingaro, ad
hering to the same spot; " 'tie not his noon
beam I would watch. for that I shall never see
again; no, 'tis his earliest light on the morrow
I would fain give greeting to, that I may know
bow near is the hour of my end as I watch any
last son rise."
." 0. that's it," replied the astronomer
.• then even so be it—have thy bed where thou
wilt.. But methinks thine is an odd lancy ;
now I, though naturally of an inquiring.turn,
am no way curious about seeing my last sun
rise. and don't care, in truth, if I never see it
at all, so I live the longer—but every man to
his humor: so there. Bd. by your leave, we
must bind your hands and legs, for you Zings
ri are but slippery subjects; however, with
this little precaution, and without cadet, ex
. eept for s weasel, through yon window, I
think thou mayst be trusted. - Now 'lnert fast.
here's thy bread and water; at nightfall I'll
not fail to bring thee a fresh, supply ; and. un

every Man that's doomed to the dog's death

peace. honest pagan. Come. comrades, ,leave
the Zinger* to his repose; there's no fear of
his being troubled with nightmare. for he
wont lie much on his back, 1 gucesha, ha.
ha!"
♦mid the loud laughter this jest created. the
door was firmly enured without.- and the sub
ject of this brutal mirth Was left alone.
The tapestned chamber was a large square
apartment. never used but for one melancholy
service.—that of guarding the mortal remains
of the lords of Mirialra during their brief pas
sage from the death-bed to the tomb.
In this chamber was prepared the last dis
play of earthly vanity attendant Upon departed
greatness; here was laid out in all the impo
tence of lifeless clay the once mighty lord of, a
ihousand vassals. The room was. in confor
mity with its sad purpose. hung round with
blaelt tapestry. that had once. no doubt. been
of etquisite workmanship; but. from age and
neglect, it now-was torn in many places, and
in others hung loose from the 4all. With the
exception of the high window described above,
a stout oaken door, leading into a gallery_ be
lunging to the baron's apartment, lias-the only
outlet ; a more secure or melancholy - priion.
therefore, could not easily have been imagined;
a like conviction
. appeared to enter on•lhe
priioner's mind, for after a keen and searching
glance around him, which, as he gazed on his
own fettered limbs, settled at length iuto a luok
of fixed despair—
•l he slaves," he exclaimed, have bound
my hands so straitly. that the food they have
thrown me is useless, for nor hand nor toot can
I stir. The hypocrites would not hang on their
Sabbath, but think it no sin to scourge and
starve. But 'tie no matter, I need nut much
strength to hong, and there is, fancy, no hope
dl respite or escape; so good day. fair sun!
and welctone he thy first ray to-morrow !"
So saying, the. captive turned himself com
posedly upon IA straw, and enjoyed, hungry
and lacerated as lie was, a sounder sleep than
rrsited the• pillow of "thrice-driven down,"
pressed by the proud baron who thirsted for
his blood.
Carlene Mirialva was the - younger brother
of the late marches, and the inheritor of titles
and estates; early plunged in dissipation ana
overwhelmed with debt, the latter he had an
ticipated long before his brother's death. and
'consequently, when this event took place, he
had little to avail himself of but the empty title.
Before the death of the marcheie every thing
had been arranged' between hint mul the father
of Conradini for the marriage of their children ;
it was postponed only by the illness of the
marchese, and with his dying-breath he en
joined the fnlfillment of his pledge upon his
brother. This, however, would have ill suit
ed the. views of the needy ,gatnester. The
Castel' di Mirialva and the property in•the
Abruzzo formed the inheritance of Canstanza,
in right of her mother; and this must have
been necessarily given up to her loisband upon
her marriage, leaving the proud baron house
less, or compelling him to avow his folly, and
rest dependent on his niece's !minty, until
time should pay his debts. and again make
him master of his own ample domains.. His
first act, therefore, on his brother's death was
to refuse his consent to the fulfillment of the
marriage contract, unless it were stipulated
that he should be left master of this domain for
so many years. Luigi and Constanza were
too far gone in love not to have agreed readily
to his wishes ; but not so the elder Conradini;
he. with the prudence attendant on his age,
and the indignation natural to a high mind, re.
plied by spurning the unworthy proposal in no
measured terms. An open and violent rupture
was the immediate consequence, which threa
tened, in the end, to sunder the lovers forever;
for Constar= was but seventeen, and the laws
left her at her uncle's disposal until she should
attain the age of three-and-twenty. a century
in true love's calendar. Many months had
elapsed since this disagreement, and numerous
were the suitors introduced by the baron for
his own purposes, and rejected by Constauza
with a firmness well•worthy her nape.
At length the festival of the Annunziata en.
abled Conradini, in the disguise of a mendicant
palmer, to communicate to her his wishes, and
his plans for their execution ; and so well did
he describe, in his letter, the present misery
of separation, and the risks he had run in vain
to see or communicate with her; and in such
bright colors did he contrast the happiness and
security awaiting them in flight, and in the
fulfillment of a ("triage already plighted be
fore Heaven and sanctified in their hearts, that
Constanza, on that very night, heedless of the
storm which raged without, had frankly obey.
ed the directions of her lover, and like another
Hero, placed a light in her turret window, at
once to be the guide to , his steps, and the token
of her own readiness to follow them.
It has been already told how the swollen
Pescara detained her eager deliverer, until,
mortified and wearied, she, two hours after
midnight, withdrew her beacon, and abandoned
herself to grief. Grief soon changed to joy by
the en/In-weal her long-banished Luigi.
This retrospective detail will at once ex
plain the baron's, cause for rage, and his eager
thirst for vengeance. , not only on Conradini.
but on the humbler agent of his loss, the luck
less Zingaro, whom no laws of the time either
acknowledged or protected. ,His'wretched
race were left, like the wild animals of the rude
country they inhabited, to roam at large through
the desert, and like them too were liable to be
hunted to the death by any noble sportsman
who might choose, at his own proper peril, to
follow such diversions.
Aniinusly did the Baron di Mirialva count
each minute of that Sabbath morn, that holy
Sabbath, ordained as a day of repos*, both
from the toils and passions of frail nature—a
day wisely sanctified and set apart for retlec.
tion and repentance. But far otherwise were
employed the thoughts of Mirialva ; intensely
did he listen to each sound, eager to catch the
footfall of returning horse;' constantly were
his strained eyes fixed on the approac h from
the banks of the Pescrara, while his heart was
consuming within him, fired by the demons
Avarice, Anger, and Revenge.
A horseman at length appeared, whose hard
spurred, jaded steed could hardly bear its-rider
up the steep. The baron flew to the gate to
meet him—with the hellish hope in his heart,
and the wish on his lip, he demanded, " Well,
have they been tracked f have you overtaken
the runagates ? is he dead ? Say yes. and
boldly. claim the promised thousand ducats,
and more, thy lord's eternal favor."
The vassal hung his head in silence. One
by one the wearied riders returned with no
better success, till at last but one remained out
on whom to rest a hope. But the baron knew
well the nature of the hound thatstill hung up
on the track, and while Jocope returned not,
he did not entirely abandon his deinon-like
hope. Right well this worthy servant merited
the confidence of such a master; patient,
wearyless, and true to the seent of blood, es
the hound of whose savage nature he so large
ly partook, he, though outstripped and baffled,
still hunted on,,a dogged instinct his guide, and
the promised gold his spur.
CHAPTER 111
The shades of evening-had once morflallen
upon the -valleys of the Abruzzo he or the
Zingaro was reawakened to a sense of pain and
hunger. As he slowly turned upon his straw,
he cast his eyes upward on the how almost
darkened window : suddenly a gleam of wild
and unrestrained joy lighted up his palled and
worn featureie.--his sight became riveted to the
object. as he cried aloud—
'Ti. there ! 'tis there ! It shines bright
and dazzlingly upon me, unclouded and se
rene, ths star of my birth and the guide of our
race. I saw it twinkling thus in my past
dream of freedom. Hail to thee, herald of
hope ! Thou (lido shine thus lightly upon
but now, in aleep t i.set again,. by our
mountain-stream, witti gea by,,,my side and
once more listened to her sweet voice. U it
nisei in thy praise, intoned to' the guitar .tshe
best loves to bear! Thou art still above irte,
shining star, and I ant not forsaken! .Thou
art still unclouded, and I will not despair, - for
never wouldist thou rise so brightly stove, were
a sun of thy people:to die the cruel death ere'
thy sitting."
With the spirit of new-born hope did the
captive now await the approach of his jailor,
as he heard the massy bolts withdrawn; for,
true to his promise, * Nicola again vtontl
side him, bearing a fresh allowance of bread
and water.
W hy. how's this," said the ono, obsess.
ing the former supply still remaining; "thy
food anti drink • untouched f Man, but thou
art somewhat dainty in thy fare. or bast a mar
vellous gift along fasting. Why hut thou
not broken bread, Zingaro? thy hanging to
will be none the more agreeable, be
cause thou art some pounds the lighter; why,
man, thou'lt he as hard to die as a cat; eat
and drink, and prepare for thy ending as like
a gond Christian as one of thy doomed breed
cap."
Ilow can I do' either?" bitterly replied
the prisoner ; " your food is left but as a
mockery, when my lips might 'parch fora drop
of water. ere I. thus tightly bound. could inois-
ten them. What fear you, that yOu thus pin
ion me? Escape were impossible, unless
had wings like a bird, and no more bult than
a shadow ; for otherwise I could neitherreach.
nor pass out of yonder window."
•• Why, there is some reason in that," re
joined the jailor. glancing round ; sad though
the baron ordered •thee to be bound, he ialsio
intended thou shouldsteat, or else he had ne'er
promised thee food—io, by our Lady, I'll
strain my warranty and loose thy cords a trifle
—and more, thou shalt have the bottom of my
wine flask to give a whet to thy appetite.
There with two foot between hand and
hand, a man may do much, with a hungry
atomaeh and good will—thou need's' not thy
feet to help, thy feeding, so we'll let them be;
and if they feel somewhat tightdaced, why
console thee, 'tie but a few hours, and then
thou mayst kick away with them like en un
broken colt—ha, ba. ha! Nay, never lower
at my joke, man—thou reliehest the smack of
the wine though, ha ? Well, finish it thin.
and welcome, for now we're alone, between
thee and me and the wall, I owe thee no ill
will for helping the Lady Constance to the man
die liked, - and am not sorry the young birds
have shoWn them such strong wing."
"The horsemen have then ,returned I" de
manded'the Zinger°.
n Ay, come back, empty handed; all but
one, and he'll get 'little but wrong withers and
dirty boots for his ride, I gimes."
'• Who is he that still bangs on the track of
his lord's daughter!"
" Who but Jocope, the porter," slid Nicola;
n and as for hanging, by the matte, for the
gold that's promised, 'd hang a slip-knot
round the neck of the brother that twinned at
birth with him."
While the jailor thus indulged his gossiping
propensity, the Zingaro eagerly continued to
eat and drink ; and as from time to time his
'dark eye flashed upwards. it would kindle
with hope revived, and reveal a thousand thick
coming fancies of liberty and vengeance. In a
few moments Nicola rose to depart. '
"Adieu till morn, Zingaro," he said; "eat
thy last supper, and sleep soundly.; fear not
to be awakened in hanging time—ha, ha, ha I
Nay, no anger at my jest . thou wotildst like
well enough to list• to it this time to-morrow."
The door again closed ; the bolts 'again jar
red on the ear ; and the Zinger° was once
more alone. But he was 00l longer the inani
mate log that for so many hours had lam with
out exhibiting one sign of life or motion_; but
alert. active, and stirring, with a glance like the
hawk.- and with vigor and ingenuity equal to
his will.
First. with the assistance of his teeth be
managed to spread before him his caps, and
then, from a secret pouch within its folds he
drew forth the hidden implements for procur
ing light, which ever formed a part of his ma
teriel—quickly and skilfully using his partially
freed hands, he succeeded in the first part of
his attempt ; when holding over • she light the
bonds which confined his wrists, he sat, par
tially feeding the flame. until the ltout cords
gave way. His hands thus free. he waved
them in triumph and thanksgiving towards the
star still shining brightly' upon him; and in
an incredibly short space of time. he by simi
lar process. freed his feet from bondage,
though ncu without some suffering from the
flames. As the last turn of the lashing was
unwound, he sprung from the floor and at
tempted to stand erect, but the cramped tremb
ling joints failed to support him, and he fell
back powerless upon his straw; by degrees.
however, he restored the circulation to his
benumbed and sore-scorched limbs, until they
once more became capable of their wonted ex
ertion

his address before the Essex Agricultural So

gether. within forty years after first planting,
which, during this period had been of more
value in consequence of the trees growing
thereon ; for it is a fact, that the' feed, both in
quantity and quality, under and about thelo

trees. 'Fake into view also, the increasing de

T" preceding figure is to represent the,INSEN
BIBLE PERSPIRATION. his the great evac
uation for the impurities of the body. It will be noticed
that a thick cloudy mist issues from all points of the sur
face. which indicates. the wonderful process; going on
within. This palpitation flows . uninterrupwdly when
we are in health, but ceases when we are sick.{ It should
be the care of every one to see that it is not checked.—
Life cannot be sustained without it. It is thrown off
from the blood and other juices of the body, end dispo-
PM by this means, of nearly all impurities within use.—
The
blood by this means only, works itselfpure. The
language of Scripture is, "in theblood is the life." If
it ever becomes impure , it may he traced directly to the
stoppage of the insensible perspiration. It never requires
any internal medicines to cleanse it, as it always purl.
Cass itself by its own heat and action, and throws off all
the offending humors, through the insensibleperapiration.
Thus we see, all that is necessa-ty when the blood is
stagnant or infected, is toopen the pores, and it relieves
itself from all impurity instantly. Its own hest and vi
tality are sufficient, without one particle of medicine,
except to oven the pores upon the surface.—Thus we
see the folly of taking so much internal remedies. All
practicioners, however, direct their efforts to restore the
mantillas perspiration. but it seems to be not always the I
proper one. The Thompsonians for instance, steams,
the liipirepathist shrouds us in wet blankets, the Ho.
empathise deals out infinitissimals, the Allopathistbleeds
and doses us with mercury, and, the blustering quack
gorges us with pills, pills, pills.
But one object only is in view, viz: to restore the in
sensible peopiration. If this can be done, they say, we
will take care of the rest. It will be seen, therefore,
that all physicians understand alike what is necessary to
arecowery, bow much they may differ as to the mode
of obtaining it
sire some idea of the amount and consequently
the impedance of • the insensible perspiration, we will
state that the learned Dr. - Lairenbock. swathe great Boer..
haws, ascertained that 01 , 0-eights of all we received in- II
to the stomach, pseud off by this means. In other words,
if we eat and drink eight pounds per day, we evacuate
five pounds of it by the insensible perspiration.
This is none- other than the used up particles of the
blood, and other juices, giving place to the new and
'fresh ones, by carrying with it all the impurities within
up to the surface. To check this, therefore, is to retain
in the system five eights of all the virulent matter that
nature dem.ndsshoald leave the body. And even when
this is the cue, the blood is of so active a principle, that
it determines those particles. to the skin, where they form
scabs, pimples, ulcers, and other spots ; but if it is di-
reined inwards, and fasts upon the longs, the conic-
Timm are generally fatal. ,
By a sadden transition from heat to cold, the pores
are stopped, the perspiration ceases, and disease begins
st ones to develops itself. Hence, a stoppage of this
flow of the juices, originates so many tomplanne. It is
through the surface that we imbibe nearly all our ills.
It is stopping the pores, that overwhelms mankind
with coughs, colds, and consumption. Nino-tenths of
the world die from diseases induced by stoppage of the
insensible perspiration. It is easily seen therefore, how
necessary is the flow of this subtle humor to the surface,
to preserve health. It cannot be stopped ;it cannot even
be checked, without producing disease. The blood
and intestines most relieve themselves of all their arum
out particles, and poisonous humors, and they must go
through the pores as nature designed.
Let me sat now, every 'candid mind, what course
seep the most reasonable to pursue, and unstop the
pores, after they are closed. and let the perspiration now,
that the blood may relieve itselfef its impurities d Would
you give physic to unstop the pores! Or would you
apply something that would do this upon the surface,
where the clogging actually is! Would not this be com
mon sense! 'And yet I know of no physician Who
makes an internal application to effect it. The reason I
assign is, that no medicine within their knowledge, is
capable of doing it. Under these circumstances, I pre
sent to physicians and to all others, a preparation that
has this power to the fullest extent.—lt is MeAllider's
Ointment or the World's Salve. If has
power to restore perspiration on the feet, on the head,
around'oldectes, upon the chest, in abort, upon any part
of the body, whether diseased slightly or severely. When
the perspiration is restored, it has power to penetrate the
lungs, liver, or any pan of the human system, and to act
upon them, if they be diseased, by separating the in
flamed morbid particles therefrom, and expelling them
to the surface.
It his power to cause all external sores, scrofulous ha
mom, skin diseases, poisonous wounds to discharge their
putrid matter, and then heals them.
It is • remedy that sweeps off the whole catalogue of
cutaneous disorders, and restores the entire cuticle to its
healthy functions. •
It is a remedy that forbids the necessity of so many
and deleterious drugs taken into the stomach.
It it a remedy that neither sickens, gives inconveni
cues, or is dangerous to the intestines.
This remedy is probably the only one now known,
that is capable of producing all these great results. Its
great value is in restoring at once, the circulation of the
juices when checked, or disarranged by cold or other
causes. It preserves and defends the surface from all
derangement of its functions, while it keeps open the
channels for the blood to avoid all its impurities andidio
, pose of all its useless particles. There is a connection,
harmony, and feasibility in all that defies contradiction.
It is a simple. bat wonderful principle that preserves in
healthy operation the entire machinery of our being. It
I indissolubly holds together the surface and the infernal
viscera, the internal viscera and the surface. They are
inseparably connected and cannot ho disjoined. The
surface is die outlet of five-eights of the bile and used
Pp matter within. It is pierced with millions of open
, inp to relieve the intestines. Stop up these pores, and
death knocks at your door. It is rightly termed All-
Healing, for there is scarcely a disease, external or in
tentage that it will not benefit. It will be found the moat
useful as well as the cheapest family medicine in the
world. I have used it for the tut fourteen years with
mass without a parallel. l
.haveosed it for all disease
of the chest. consumption; liver, and the most dangerous
of internal maladies % I have used it in cases of extreme
peril and hoard. involving the utmost danger and re.
sponsibility, and Ldeclsre before Heaven and man, that
not in one single ease has it failed to benefit, when the
patient was within the reacti.of mortal means.
I never, to my recollection had more than five or six
among the thousands who have used it, say that it was
not bearable to their complaint. On the contrary Ihave
had hundreds return voluntarily, and in foe warmest
and most pathetic language speak in At pra&. I have

opposition. It can hardly be credited that a salve can
bathe more effect upon the longs, sated as they ire with
in the system. :But we say once for all, thatthis oint
ment will teach the lungs quicker than any medicines
that an be given internally. Every body consents to
the fact that if healing medicine could be applied on
the lungs, • there would be great hopes of recovery. The
difficulty is to get the medicine there. Now the Salve
has the wonderful virtue of extracting the putrid hu
mors halt all external cores by causing them to dis
charge. In like manner it operates upon internal affec
tions by driving all the impurities through the pores to
the surface. Thus with consumption, if placed upon
the chest, it penetsates directly to the 'lungs, separates
&opaques particles that aretonsuming them and ex

sometimes Wl' upon the lungs and produces consul:rip

charge ; and then let then the Solar Tincture be used-to
-drive it to one point, which done, a continuance of the

sat Rheum.—Tbis is another obstinate disease bat
can be cured effectually as the scrofula. There is no
difficulty in this disease.
H eo d-u f je, Ear ache' and Deofness—The Salve has
cured persons of the Head-Acticof 12 years standing
and sd e vhsd It regularly every week, so that vomiting
often took place. It cured the wife of a man who laugh
ed i n m y face for proposing such a cure, and who now
would not be without it for die best farm in the State. If
any one will take the trouble to call I will give his name.
Deafness and Ear-Ache are helped with the like sue,
Cars as also Ague, in the face.
Cold Rd.—Consumption, fiver complaint, pains in
the chest or side, falling of the hair, one or the other
always accompanies cold feet. It is a sure sign of die.
ease. in the system to have cold feet. Some persons are
totally unable to get them warm, and endure much suf
fering thereby.
The salve will restore the insensible perspiration and
thus cure every case. It is infallible for this.
Astluna, Tightness of Breath..—lf this disease is not
hereditary sod produced by die malformation of the chest,
the salve will cure it.
Dyspepsia.—Out would suppose a salve would not
effect this disease much but the All-Healing Ointment
will Cure two sooner than any internal remedy will cure
one.
Sore Eyes.—Theintlamation and disease always lies
track of the ball of the eye in the socket. Hence the util
ity of all remedies that are used upon the lids. The
virtue of any medicine must reach the seat of inflam
mation or it will do little good. This salve if rujrbed
on the temples will penetrate directly into 'the socket
and infuse all its virtues upcn the disorder. The pores
will be opened. a proper perspiration will be created aryl
the disease will soon pass off to the surface. HOW
easy and bow natural ! It is as perfect and valuable a l s
it is simple and philosophical.
sore Lips, Citapprd Hardt 4e.—f sell a great deal
of salve to Seamen, who say it is the only thing they
can depend on to cure their raw hands, when exposed
to the weather at sea. It acts like a charm in these com
plaints. Two or three applications cures.
Pimples on the face, freckles, tan, masculine skin,
gross surface.—lts first action is to expel all humor. It
will not cease drawing till the face is free from any mat
ter that . may be lodged ender the skin and frequently
breaking out to the surface. It then heals. When
there betrothing but . grossness, or dull repulsive surface,
it begins to soften and soften until the skin becomes as
soft anddelicate as a child's. It throws a freshness and
Meshing color upon the now white transparent skin
that is ?Meetly-enchanting.. Sometimes in case of Freck
les it will first start out those that have lain hidden and
seen bit seldom. Pursue the salve and all will soon dis
appear
The reason for this wonderful change in a lady's
face is; that it excites into natural and healthy activity
the Insensible'Perspiration, while it renovates and re:
news the surface, and leaves the skin in as lively and
deli.mtri a condition as the mostfastidions could desire.

there ia'not a family in the United States, that would
congeal . to be without this salve a single day if they
knew i balm in healing BUTIIS alone. it extracts the
pain arld leases the place withouta scar.
Quiip tort throat, Influenza, Bronchitis.—There
not internal remedy in existence that will cure
these disorders as ((nick as the salve. It opens the pores
on the neck and draws oft al[ the inflammation and irn-
pure juices, and a few days will see the patient well
.It is scriereign in these eases.
Pi/et—The salvo acts upon the piles as upon sore
eyes. There is en inflammation which must be drawn
from the parts. The salve does this.
Hernia or Rupture.—This salve has cured some very
bed cases of rupture, and although it might not all, yet it
would be wise to try it. It is a peculiar complaint, but
it may be helped some, if not cured entirely. I have
not the shadow of a doubt that it would cure thousands
if the trial was made, who believe no medicine of the
least benefit.
Two shilling% worth would satisfy any one, whether
it would do good nr not.
Werms.—lf parents knew how fatal most medicines
were to children taken inwardly, they would be slow to
resort to them. Especially mercurial lozenges," call
ed medical lezenges," " vermifuges," pills, &c. Even
were it possible to say positively that worms were pro•
sent, it is lot safe. The truth is, no one can tell. inva
riably, when worms are present. Of coulee the remedy
is not applicable to the complaint. Now let me say to
parents, that this salve. will always tell if a child has
worms. 'Let it be rubbed on the neck and chest, to keep
them from going up, and then down on the bowels and
they will soon leave. It will drive every vestige of them
away. This is a simple and safe cure. No injury can
come of-it in any way. But should it be cholic, infla
tion of the bowels, or gripe of the intestines, it will el
.
fectually cure them as the worms.
There is probably no medicine on the face of the earth
I at once so sure and safe in the expulsion of worms.
It would be cruel, nay wicked, to give internal doubt
ful medicines, so long as a harmless, certain, and effect
ual external one could be had.
Chotie, Pain, or, InAammntion of the Botvek . —Lot
the salve be rubbed in_ and heated with the fire or hot
flat irons, and all pains and difficulty will soon cease.
Swellings of the joints, or weakness, or any affection
of the bone, nothing is ea good for as this salve.
Poisons.--,-I never knew anything so good as this
salve. It causes the poison to dischaige immediately,
and leaves not the slightest cause of alarm. Poisons by
nails, bites of animals, or burns, it removes when no-
thing else will.
Toikt.-1 have it done up in fine order for the dres
sing.case. Although I have said little about it as a hail.
restorative, yet I will stake it against the world ! They
may bring their oils far and near, and mine will restore
the hair two cases to their one. These are no idle words,
for I AM ready to back it with any reasonable amount.
Old Sow, Xortification,Ukers, cle.- 7 11sere is no ef.
ectual way of curing these, but drawing off the putrid
matter. To merely dry it up would only endanger one'
health more. That some sores are en outlet to the im
purities of the system, is the only reason, because they
cannot pass off through the natural channels of the In
sensibk Perspiration. • If such sores are healed up, the
impurities must have some other outlet, or it will endan
ger life. This is the reason why it is impolitic to use the
common salves of the day in such eases. For they have
no passer to open other revenues, to let off all this mor
bid matter. and the consequences are always fatal. This
salve will always provide for such , emergencies. There
need be no fear. It is perfect. so'
Broken Breast.—,Persons need never have a broken
bresat. The salve will always prevent it, if used in sea-
WO.
Liner Complaint.—Persons having this complaint fre
quently have eruptions of the hands, face and other
parts, and never once thick that it arises from the liver.
Their utter inability to remove these irruptions, proves
their misapprehension of the disorder. Such must use
it first on the feet, then wear it on the khest, and the
difficulty will soon go away. •
