They are universally appro\ oil They Mipport, strengthen, and mil the growth of muscles. They appear to have a peculiar effect upon tho nerves, allaying irritability, while supplying warmth They lecm to accumulate electricitj , aud aid the circulation of tho blood through the p ut where applied, by which healthy actions aie induced The POROUS PLASTERS of Mr. Allenek. Strictures of the bronchial tubes, nropsy of tho lu-art, tumours, internal and ovarian, are said to hive Im'pii cured by these plasters. But in all tho nsr-s for stronglhcniiii'jilrtstor, and for nervous .md local pains, we havothn tc sti inoiiy of the first phyi.id.ans in the United Stnl»s and of F.nropo in their favour. How great tho comfoit to have n nuffncaling cough, to have sharp pains in tho chest, ijueer creeping sensa tioni around the hoart, cured by the simple remedy of a clean, flexible, entirely objectionable plaster ' But internal tumours, considered of a fatal character, ere also cured by this mild and innocent applicition, which, acting like a second skin, produces a <-t C uly pressure, Ivy which absorption, resulting incif-c it once aud ultimate cutc.is obtained. Being a pi'-par i tion from Frankincense, Rubber, and Burgundy Pitch. they seem to possess tho quality of Accumulit ing Electricity, and impmting it to tho body, whereby the circulation of the blood becomes equalised upon tho parts where applied, causing p.un and morbid ' action to cease. The Pcrous Plastcis are fl< \il»< , and found of great help to thosa who have we.iK b,u ks or pains in the side Especi illy arc they vain ibli< to thn,c who have neglected colds. Ihey up oitm pievcntives of consumption : nay, they aro bclic\ < d to lnvo loosened the grasp of this affliction, and boon mainly instiumental in effecting % cure. In variable climates, they should be worn on the bronst, between the shoulders or over the kidneys, by those who are subject to t»ko cold easily, fhii limplo plan will soon produce a constitutional vigour that will enable it to resist extraordinary changes of temperature Experience has proved the Poroiu Plaster to be a blessing to the consumptively inclined, invariably producing the most rcmarkablo abatement of tho Tedicinal qualities of the POROUS PLASTERS.— The Porous Plasters possess tlie smoothing, warming, and sustaining qualities of tho combined plasters of the dispensatories. An Electrician, who has had great experience of their effects in local rheuraatism.in ticdouloureux.and deepseated nervous and other pains, and in affections of the kidneys, &c, ftc, attributes all their sedative, stimulative, and pain-relieving effect! to their electric qualities. He asserts they restore the healthy electric condition (equilibrium) of the part,and,th«t being restored, pain and morbid action cease. He was amazed at tho great number of beneficial indications produced by one of the plasters. He affirms that headache is cured by oijC worn just below the breastbone that one placed over tho naral will cure hjstencs, as well as dysentery, and affection of the bowely. Even chrouic costireness he found to be greatly relie\ed by wearing one o\er the bowels WEAKNESS AND FATIGUE.— They are now widely used in Hospitals, both_ in America and Fnrope, and approved by all physicians They give immediate relief in lumbago, as well as in pains of the sides and back, whether they proceed from weakness, fatigue or other causes THE GREAT PLASTER OF THE DAY— ALLCOCK'S POROU* — Dr Valentine Mott, Dr Johnson, of Hartford, and Dr Myers of S.uannih, ha\e spoken of them iu the highest terms The great 'Mott said " Tliej were all that could be hoped i for in a plaster— simple, cleanly, and adhesive perfect as artificial supporters of the muscles, and of pains, becuise of then mild, counter-irritant qualities usually .at once gn ing ease " Local weakness of the back, bicist, ftnd side, always ooneflted, thus curing lumbago in a few hours, sometimes in a few minutes In serous, heart, and che«t affections, their use causes an absorption or evaporation of w iter, by which dropsy of the heart and hydrothorax have undoubtedly b. on cured. Th> y appear to ha\ e a peculiar c>n\ct upon lho nerves, alliying irritability while supplj ing w irmth. They seem to accumulate electricity and aid the circulation of the blood through the part where applied, by which hcUthy actions are induced PARALYSIS CURED.— Even in Paralysis where articulation was suspended, the use of the Porous Plasters to the spine restored the !>rticuHtion, and materially reduced tho Paraly>i- In fact, the patient could help herself, while, before tho Poious l'Ustcr was applied, -she w is as helpless as a baby AVe refer to Mrs Sally Elliott, Sprln^fiel.l, Mass ELECTRIC CONDITION.— The peculiar phosphon scent light emitted by AllcocVs Porous Pl.istor when separating from the muslin may be seen when taken off in tho dark This quality is supposed to be absorbed by the porrs of the skin, causing an equilibrium of tho circulition, acting equ ill) upon the nervous fluid as upon the blood They are certified as innocent, vet wonderfully curativc,by all. AS AN EX I ERNAL TONIC— Valuable in many aftcction? of tho chost and bowels, especi illy when of a rcrvous character 'Ihey increase the \ignur, because they warm or \it.iliso the iurt upon which ipplied.
