iting, Pains in the Limbs, Back, Chest, ere. Jf it does
not give relief, the money will be refunded. All that
is asked is a trial, and use it according to the Direc
tions. It is an English remedy, and was used by
William the Fourth, late King of England, end certi
fied to by him as s cure for the Rheumatism, when
everything else had failed. Over 10,000,000 of Bot
tles have been sold in the United States, without a
single failure, and many have stated, they would not
be without it, if it was $10 per bottle in case of Croup,
as it is as certain as it is applied. It cures Cholera
when fust taken, in an hour; Dysenterry in half an
hour ; Toothache in five minutes. It is perfectly in
nocent lo take internally, and recommended by the
most eminent Physicians in the United States. Price
25 and 50 cents.
Dr. Tobias could AH a dozen Newspapers with eer
tificates of Cures accomplished by bis Liniment, but
considers warranting it sufficient, as ny person who
does not obtain relief need not pay for it.
Dr. Tobias has wot- up a Liniment expressly tor
Horses in Pint Bottles, which is warranted cheaper
and better than any other for Colic, Galls, Cuts, Bruis
es, Swellings, Scratches, fcc. Price 0 cents.
