Wonn Js Old Sores j3ari:. For wounds, old sores and burns, Brazilian Dal in is of priceless value. For cuts, wounds from gunshot, broken glass, or tern flesh it almost instantly stops the paiu and bleeding, prevents inflammation, prevents lockjaw in alt cases, if used at once, and heals like magic. It cleanses old sores and ulcers from "proud flesh," kills the microbe which causes the formation of pus, thus stopping the discharge, and promotes granulation and healing more rapidly than any known remedy. For ftruises, Sprains, Burns, Blackened Iiyes, etc , it is equally prompt and efficacious. It is indispensable in- every factory and home. See Testimonials in circular. Do not forget that we guarantee Eratilian Balm to cure Hay Fever. It has never failed in a single instance when faithfully used, and it does not return. It effectually destroys the Hay Ferer Bacillus.
