Dr. David Jayne—Dear Sir":—Your Lini-
ment is found to be the best remedy for kil-
ling worms in Live stock that Stock-raisers
can find. It kills the worm in an instant,
and prevents tho Fly from troubling the

Liniment is by far the best.

your Liniment for killing Screw worm in

This Liniment has now been before the

has been thoroughly tested as a positive

Louden «fe Co. justly claim the discovery
of this great remedy, and until the present
year noother Liniment was offered or known
for the relief of the Graziers of Texas: but
now, the unprecedented popularity of our
Cherokee Liniment has induced—the pecu-
niary reward—the proprietors of the various
imitations afloat, to palm off their worthless
articles upon the unsuspecting, without re-
gard to justice, or any known merit in the
nostrum offered.
We call upon all interested to
BEWARE of all other Liniments
claiming to destroy the Screw Worm and
prevent the attack of the Blow Fly, as they
are all imitations, covertly to trifle with the
credulity of the people.

Headache.—ThU ducue i **> from wnlch

is generally supposed. Not being directly fa-
tal, it it of'.en neglected, or persons resort to
much to the ase of purgatives and other medg
icines, aa to impair their health, and often in-
duce fatal diseases. The ai tide, Dr. Spohnf
Headache Remedy, now offered, seems to have
overcome these difficulties. While its effects
are most powerful and immediate in eurinng a
attack or in keeping it off, it is so perfectly
mild and innocent as to be used for infasts with
tho greatost effect and aafety. This has now
been attested by so many of the highest mem-
bers of tbe community, as to require no proof.
¡f taken a few times in as many hours, when
there are indications of an approaching attaek,
it is sure in all cases to prevent the attack. If
uved for a few weeks, tbe premonitory symp-
toms gradually subside, until they wholly dis-
appear, and never, without some great exter-
nal or predisposing cause, return. If the'per-
son neglects to use it till the headache com-
mences, it sometimes cures instantly,—but at
others, the turns will have their course for two
or three weeks, and then wholly disappear.

prescription prepared by any medical man in
America.
Its first action is to expel all humor. It will
not cease acting until the face is free from all
matter that may be lodged under the skin, and

he skin becomes as smooth and delicate as a
child's.
Hewet' Nerve and Bone Liniment, and th
Indian Specific!
Rheumatism, contracted cords, and mueles
permanently cured. The practitioner of great-
est skill, if honest, generally shrinks in despair
at the prospeet of governing and eradicating
these diseases. His remedies are generally
palliate, and the patient feels happy at any re-
relief from his torments. If his family doctor
gives him any hope of a cute, it is al the end
of a long course of medicine that istb act up-
on the system, or at the expense of drawing
from the arm his life's blood, until, if cured,
(which it is next to impessible to he by these
means,) he has not enough of life left " to be
wortli living for." How important, then, a
remedy to check and eradicate rheumatism and
gout,—to extend and strengthen shriveliy and
knotty cords and muscles, till nature and health
have again sway and contrcl. Such you may
rely is Hewes' Nerve and Bone Liniment,
used externally, and Indian Vegitable Specific,
used externally, sold by Comstock & Co, and
genuine onlv if the fac-simiie signature of L
S. Comstock is on them.
