    sessed by man, or it has long since been lost. But has fate locked it up forever ? Is it lost in the labyrinth of transcendentalism, so as to be as unattainable as if lost in the depth of the ocean ? I answer, no, verily ! ! I have, Providentially, discovered it, and can most cer- tainly supply the great desideratum, and will do it, as soon as time and means will permit (See the prospectuses for a book and paper.) My Family Salve, and Salt Rheum Ointment, which I am now putting into the market, I have proved by seventeen years practice, to be among the most con- venient and excellent articles ever used, for the purposes denoted by their labels. They are warranted to make a convert of every user, who will give them a fair trial. The Family Salve, should be found in every family, and on board of every ship, and indeed, wherever a poultice (for I invariably use it as a substitute for poul- tice so much so that I have not ordered a poultice in my practice for years, and simply because this is better,) or where any external dressing is needed. It is a Scientific, harmless, and an excellent Simple Cerate. Try it ! The Salt Rheum Ointment, may be used with it, or without it as circumstances may indicate. [ See their Labels.] My Caustic Paste, is a perfectly harmless and safe thing, in safe hands—and in safe hands only. No man, (M. D's., not excepted,) unacquainted with the Science I teach, or experienced in its use, are competent to use it safely, or properly. It is hoped no man will attempt it, and that no patient will permit it, even for the cure of Corns ; to say nothing of Cancers and Tumors.
