Caption

...Because it cures Burns and Scalds, and leaves no scar. Because it will cure a felon quicker than anything else known. Because it gives relief at once, and always cures the Piles. Because by it the agony of Corns and Bunions is relieved immediately. Because it will make Chapped Hands smooth in a night. Becuase it draws from Ulcers and old Sores their poison, healing without scar. Because Erysipelas and Skin Diseases have found in it a master. Because Inflammation in every form gives way to it as if by magic...
