Twelve months ago I bought a half dollar box of

Wm Menefee, in this county, had a negro woman
that was burnt on her foot, 14 years ago, that every
month would break out and run, so that she was
an entire cripple He sent to me for my box of
salve ; I let him have it ; he applied it and it has
made a perfect cure, so that she is nuw a hand,
sound and well, and the Judge says he will always
kcepxthe salve on hand. I have tried the aaive in
my family, and find it good. I would not be without
it for any price in the world. 1 have been the eausc
of several of my neighbors trying it, and all that
have tried it, are well satisfied with it, and say
they will not be without it. A neighbor*of mine
by the name of O. L. Hillebrand, from * Liberty
county, Eastern Texas, first told me about it, and
I am well satisfied with it. Wm. V Cmswux.
