It lias been ui-g-ecl ag-ainst PROF. COOK'S BALM OF LIFE By intelligent persons, that he has recommended it for too many ills; that he presses it upon the public as a UNIVERSAL PANACEA. Lovers of truth and the afflicted are each personally interested in know- ing whether this apparently just plea is true or spe- cious. The discoverer and proprietor challenges the most rigorous investigation into this matter, and desires only that he shall be heard before being judged. The fact that he had made a MOST WON- DERFUL DISCOVERY, of a medicinal combination of rare efficacy, in many diseases, he did unhesita- tingly proclaim. At first he knew only a few of its virtues, and, what is true of no other preparation ever brought out, the people themselves have been the discoverers of ita tran- scendent powers. The candid and impartial will find that PROF. COOK has advertised his remedy, not by long articles of unsustained assertions, but by printing certificates given by the cured. To assist those who will candidly look into this subject the following facts are briefly stated. Please consider them carefully, and then reflect how astonishingly the public liave led the inventor along by their state- ments. At first it was designed and recommended to cure Scald Head, Tetter, Herpetic Eruptions, Dandruff, und similar external diseases. Then came a most marvellous train of certificates, which the people voluntarily rendered. Their own intuition led them to try the BALM OF LIFE for many things the dis- coverer had not dreamed of curing. See pamphlet and advertisements for full particulars of the follow- ing: Wm. S, Cooper recommends it as a dentifrice. C. W. Sonnenschmidt, M. D., recommends it for scrof- ula and leueorrhoea. J. Brainerd, M. D , first admin- istered it interiuiUy. J. J. Johnson, M. D., recom- mends it for hemorrhoids and leucorrlicea. E. S. Bennet, M. D., recommends it for removing dandruff, tetter, and sores on the head. G. Maleom, M. D., recommends it for growth of the hair, and skin dis- eases. J. AF. Davidson, M. D., recommends it for nervous affections, catarrh, scrofula, diarrhoea, and cholera infantum. La Tour M. Crist used it for dys- pepsia and dandruff. George Savage used it for chronic diarrhoea. R. J. Walker found it would cure cholera infantum. Mrs. Capt. Wm. H. Degges used it for gathered breast, and canker-sore mouth of her infant; Francis A. Wilson restored his hair by using it. Father F. Barotti, Pastor of St. Martin's Church, was cured of dandruff. George W. Harvey, under- taker, cured his child of sore nead. James A. Lucas saved his child from second-summer disease. Bena M. Simms was cured of chronic dyspepsia.
