LUMBAGO, RHEUMATISM, GOUT, BAD LEGS, DEFORMED FEET AND HANDS, PILES, &c. THE SCOTTISH HIGHLAND OIL is immediately absorbed into the Blood, chang ing its dull bkfck hue into a brilliant red, pos sessing a defecate nervous force, which may be felt as a tremulous motion in the muscles, which often instantly relieves a great many painful disorders, which render Mfc unbearable. POTTIES SCOTTISH OIL Will be found invaluable in nearly every in stance, and for colonial use is one of the best Medicines ever introduced, especially in the following cases:— TRAVELLERS, who have to shift from bed to bed. SURVEYORS, who are exposed to su-cb. vermin day and night. SHOOTING PARTIES, exposed to the tor ments of the tick. Members of Cricket. Rowing, and Football Clubs, and Athletes, May with great advantage use it for the muscles of the arms and limbs, rubbing night and morn ing. It renders those muscles elastic and firan ; should the muscles be sore a good dressing will give immediate relief, and prevent the distres sing effects of stiffness, &c. POTTIES SCOTTISH OIL. A slight dressing night and morning will give complete immunity from fleas, mosquitoes, sand flies, ticks, and all kinds of bush vermin. The Oil when rubbed in all over the body or hands and face, dries at once, leaving a beautiful gloss on the skin, which, while it feels highly agree able, forms a perfect barricade.
