W. Thornton Parker, M. D. Recorder,
Association of Acting Assistant Surgeon
of the United States artnv, writes;
Salem, Mass, March 23. 1891.
"When at Stuttgart. Germany, during
the winter of 1881-82, I was suffering
from a severe attack of bronchitis, which
seemed to threaten pneumonia, I met at
Hotel Marquardt. Commander Beardslec,
of the United States navy. In speaking
of my sickness, he remarked: ‘Doctor,
you can cure that che-t trouble nf yours
by using an Ailcock’s Porous Plaster.’
That may be true, I answered ‘bur
where can I get the plaster ?' ‘Anywhere
in the civilized world, and surely here in
| Stuttgart. Whenever I have a cold. I
I always use one and find relief.’ I sent to
the drug store for the plaster, and it did
all that friend has promised. Ever since
then I have used it whenever suffering
from a cold, and 1 have many times pre
' scribed it tor patients.
“The Allcock’s Plaster is the best to be
had. and has saved manv from severe
! illness, and undoubted'y, if used promptly
will save many valuable lives. Whenever
one has a severe cold they should use an
Allcock's Plaster as soon as possible. It
should be placed across the chest, the
upper margin iust below the neck, some
hot beef tea or milk, will aid in the treat
ment.
"Thia is not a patent remedy in the
i objectionable sense of term, but a stand
ard preparation of value. Ihe govern-
I rnent supplies for the United States
army and Indian hospital stores contain
Allcock's Plasters, and the medical pro
fession throughout the world are well
aware ot their reliability and excellence.
